TT WAS one thing for the French public A to hear that Dominique Strauss-Kahn had been arrested. It was quite another to see him grim-faced, handcuffed and in the custody of New York detectives. To Americans, this was just the "perp walk". This practice gives the newspapers and television images for stories and lets police and prosecutors show off the big game they bagged. J, Edgar Hoover, first head of the fbi, paraded arrested mobsters before the cameras. Lee Harvey Oswald, Kennedy's assassin, was killed during a perp walk. It was a favourite tactic of Rudy Giuliani when he was a federal prosecutor.
