In the meanwhile, little kids screaming for joy because of the toy's that they got but they do not kick and start to cry but they scream. To summarize, all the kids were screaming for the things that they wanted. Detective Sedgely was walking through the store with ease I ask him how he is baring all of the noise he did not hear me. I tapped him on his shoulder “oh yes detective” He said while pulling his earplugs out. I was shocked that that we was prepared to actually come in here. Furthermore, were did he get the earplugs since I asked him and he said that there was some in the front of the store in a little box. That made me upset because I prepared myself and he just finds a box full of earplugs, doesn’t ask me for one and, and doesn’t ask if I want one. We went to the cashier and asked if he knew anything about the missing object and the person who bought

    After reviewing all the evidence I have come to the conclusion that Matthew Maloy Murdered Robert Burlington. I have come to this conclusion using entomology and through the use of fingerprint, blood, tire track, and hair analysis. The fingerprint tests´ showed us that the only people who touched the bloody tire iron were Nicole Burlington and Matthew Maloy. Nicole Burlington is the spouse of the victim so her touching the item is reasonable but Matthew Maloy touching it is strange especially because we later learned Matthew Maloy shares the same blood type found on the tire iron meaning this was possibly the murder weapon.…

    A lot of people want to blame the parents of the offenders, asking “what did you turn your child into?” 36% of serial killers were physically abused, 26% were sexually abused, and 50% were psychologically abused (Mitchell and Aamodt 45). Many people have logically come to the conclusion that just because someone is abused, it does not mean that they will become a serial killer; or even a murderer; which is true. In the general population (people who have never committed murder) only 6% are physically abused, 3% are sexually abused, and 2% are psychologically abused (Mitchell and Aamodt 45). The dramatic difference of abuse frequency between people who are serial killers and people who are not seems evident enough to support that serial killers are created.…

    Police Discretion is at the core of policing, allowing officers to approach different situations with different approaches. Discretion is seen as the most essential element of policing, yet discretion is also the source of many problems. Over the year’s discretion has become a more prominent issue amongst the public, and due to social media and the increased use of the internet, videos and new reports can be shared with millions in a matter of seconds. Yet the truth is the discretion an officer’s use is comprehensively subjective to real-world situations rather than adopted by a certain agenda. Police discretion an essential and required part of police work (Schulenberg, 2015, pg.247).…

    In this essay I will reflect on the few assumptions and understandings I had about crime and see how they have changed. Upon arriving at De Montfort University to study Criminology and Criminal Justice, I had average knowledge about crime and punishment i.e. insight into biological and psychological perspectives of crime having studied A-level Law and Psychology beforehand. However I did expect to delve so deep into the history and other aspects of Criminology during this first semester. During A-level Law I have read many case studies of murder, manslaughter, GBH, rape etc. I found the main reasons behind committing these crimes were usually motives for revenge, loss of control, hate, rage, and biological inheritance of 'criminal genes ' such as Monoamine oxidase A which makes individuals more prone to exert violence.…
