美国东北大学犯罪学教授阿兰-福克斯对此表示，电视和网站往往会让罪犯成名。“哈里斯成名是因为他做的太不寻常了。大部分人的生活是非常平淡的，而这种事情对某些人来说很有意思，”他说。
19-year-old Harris-Moore has been evading capture since 2008, when he escaped from a group home in Washington State after pleading guilty to three counts of burglary. Since then, he has embarked on a more high-powered crime spree, allegedly stealing cars, boats, and at least five airplanes, including one he allegedly flew to the Bahamas and crash-landed earlier this year despite lacking flight training.
现年19岁的哈里斯2008年进入华盛顿一所教习所后逃脱，两年内，他的足迹遍布美国、加拿大和巴哈马，所到之处留下诸多高难度待解案件，其中包括数十起名车、游艇被盗案，他甚至连偷了至少5架飞机。今年早些时候，尽管没有经过正规训练，他开着偷来的飞机从美国飞抵巴哈马成功迫降。
