Case Study The Homicide Of Chris Arnett

Decent Essays
For five months we have as a class have studied the homicide of Christopher Arnett. Chris was killed on May 18 2002 in CD’s party store by Jeff Ringel. Reading the case and learning every aspect about it for 5 months has taken quite a toll on me as well as the rest of the class. It has really made me look differently at people as well as law enforcement and life even. It has showed everyone including myself that this world is full of horrible people and these people are capable of doing horrible things. My whole world can change in the blink of an eye with one stupid act committed by someone. But one stupid act does not just affect me, it affects the people around me as well.

    In the early 1990s, Washington, D.C., was known as the "murder capital",[11] experiencing 474 homicides in 1990.[12] The elevated crime levels were associated with the introduction of crack cocaine during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The crack was brought into Washington, D.C. by Colombian cartels and sold in drug markets such as "The Strip" (the largest in the city) located a few blocks north of the United States Capitol.[13] A quarter of juveniles with criminal charges in 1988 tested positive for drugs.[11] The number of homicides per year in Washington, D.C., peaked at 479 in 1991,[14] followed by a downward trend in the late 1990s.…

People focus on the wrong things when these atrocities happen.…

    Crime and Criminality One of the first courses that I took when I started college was Introduction to Criminal Justice. We talked about a little bit of everything, including what we discussed in class; measurement, victimization, theories of criminality, violent crime, punishment, and more. This Criminology course expanded my knowledge on crime and criminality in many aspects. The Uniform Crime Report (UCR), National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), stalking, punishment and its consequences, and the solutions for a better justice system helped to learn how the system works, and how it can improve. This may sound like a lack of education, but this is the first college semester that I learn the most about the reality of the criminal justice…

    Victimology Life Style Exposure The life style that the three victims, Byers, Branch and Moore had would have put them in minimal amounts of situations where they would be exposed to victimisation. As eight year old children they would have had School Monday to Friday, where they would have been overseen by a number of adults and be in the company of numerous children. This means that most days of the week and most hours of the day the victims would have had low risk of exposure to criminal behaviour. There is also little evidence to suggest domestic violence in the homes of the victims, as however, there is only Byer’s fathers transcript in the Case Materials (1993)…

    Homicide is the killing of a human being by another human being. In old common law, the only type of homicide recognized was murder. Today, U.S. law makes many distinctions between each type of homicide, classifying them as justifiable, excusable, or criminal, and gives varying degrees of seriousness to each type. Where criminal homicide is concerned, it can further be broken down into murder, manslaughter, and negligent homicide. Each subset of criminal homicide has several elements and characteristics that distinguish one from another.…
