The suspect had eternal conflict with the way the old man looked so he murdered, chopped, and concealed the body. A tenant living with an old man was troubled by his eye so he plans to kill him. He stalks and then kills the man and hides the body under three floorboards. The police come and the tenant confesses his crime. Premeditated murder is planning, plotting, or deliberately doing something. The suspect is guilty because he premeditated the murder with caution. The suspect is guilty of premeditating, because he practiced how he was going to pull off the crime for seven days; the tenant mutilated and concealed the body after he murdered the victim; and he tricked the police by lying; because the tenant knew he was wrong.

After he killed the man with the mattress he carefully drained the blood into a tub and cut the limbs off of the body. He carefully cut the head, arms, and legs and hid the body parts under three loose floorboards. “If you still think me mad you'll think so no longer when I describe the precautions I took for the concealment...first of all I dismembered the corpse…I took up the floorboards and hid the parts under (300)." The man was hiding the eye because he thought it could stare into his soul. Bogus, why would the man dismember the body and carefully drain the blood into a tub? He also concealed and hid every part under the floorboards. The man has obviously carefully planned and executed his murder because he knew killing the man was a crime and so he hid and mutilated the body carefully and

    In some schools across America, the mass murder of Native Americans in California during the nineteenth century is taught as an inevitable, necessary evil (Discussion). However, this notion is false. The mass murder of the Native Americans was systematic and calculated, carried out by white settlers through attacks on the lives, livelihoods, homes, and cultures of the natives. According to both Raphael Lemkin and the United Nations, these actions were genocidal. In the work, Murder State, by Brendan Lindsay, Lindsay, using the definitions created by Lemkin and the United Nations, effectively categorizes this mass extermination of the Native Americans in California as a genocide.…

The contribution of these victims can be linked to the rise of serial killers, especially the two most notorious serial killer in of the time Jack the Ripper and Herman Webster Mudgett, who went by the alias of Dr. H.H. Holmes. The two killers began killing around the 1880’s, and they were able to escape captivity for years.

    Before Rachels stated his stand regarding the cultural judgment of the “excision” he stated that we, all of the cultures should have at least some of our values or moral codes that each culture has in common. Rachels gives the example of Murder and lying to make his point that we all have some moral codes or virtues that are universal by stating “…there are some moral rules that all societies must have in common, because those rules are necessary for society to exist. The rules against lying and murder are two examples. And in fact, we do find these rules in force in all viable cultures. Cultures may differ in what they regard as legitimate exceptions to the rules, but this disagreement exists against a background of agreement on the larger…

    The breakdown of the justice system in Minority Report mirrors our own present and past as it incites Anderton into the confusion and self-dissolution that leads to the trappings of murder –accidental or intentional- but in such a way that the viewer feels comfortably admonished about our own history and present as it appears in the form of a mere future possibility. The film’s final scenes, featuring Anderton’s reunited family, alone in their private home, and the released precognitives, safely isolated from society, indicate that it is precisely the privatized, normalized subjectivity not only that we desire most but which is all that is…

    Edgar Allen Poe captivated everyone with the short story The Tell-Tale Heart, which forced readers to questions one's mental state, deciding on whether someone is guilty or innocent, whether someone is conscious of their actions, or if they are sane or criminally insane. The Tell-Tale Heart is the perfect example of the argument of whether an individual is aware of their actions and the crimes they commit or if they are possessed and driven to commit crimes by something in their mind, in which they could possibly use an insanity plea during their trial if they are caught. The narrator, who Edgar Allen Poe portrays as insane, is not, and during this essay, I will outline examples as to why he is not and that he is fully aware of the crimes that he is committing. The first example as to his premeditation is how he is explaining the story to the audience.…

    Christie's view is that crime is a socially constructed he argues that crime is a trivial concept, one that is decided as much my society than by law. Thought his book "A Suitable Amount of Crime" he observes the vast differences between countries over what is considered a crime, and how those who carry out acts that are criminal are punished. Christe further argues that crime is a social and cultural creation and is closely bound by people's perceptions of norms and values. In my opinion I agree with Christe I believe that an action becomes crimes through a process of social construction a simple example of the social construction of crime is that a behaviour can be considered a criminal act in one society and not a criminal act in another…

    His deed is finished- the corpse is hidden under the floorboards and no drop of blood has been spilled, when suddenly three police officers show up at the door in suspicion of foul play. The narrator courteously and enthusiastically brought the officers all around the house and asked them to sit down, an eerie scene of dramatic irony. He is incredibly confident in his clever and perfect triumph but not long after, he felt himself growing pale and heard an increasing ringing that was not within his ears. The narrator is now crazed, pacing the floor, speaking rapidly, and flinging his chair, yet he says that the officers are still chatting pleasantly, which they obviously would not be. He then confesses.…

    Miller (2014) states “in such a defense, the psychopathic serial killer is constitutionally incapable – due to a defective limbic system, say – to appreciate the wrongfulness of any act because he lacks the very biobehavioral substrate for a conscience. He is no more culpable for his acts than would a blind man who stumbles into another person and knocks him into traffic.” This seems like a reasonable purpose for using the insanity defense at least with the volitional definition. Miller (2014) states that “in practice, however, a diagnosis of psychopathy or antisocial personality disorder is virtually never successfully invoked as an insanity defense for any type of crime.” Although the actions of some of these individuals are atrocious…
