Russell Williams Thesis

Superior Essays
Col. Russell Williams, 23 year career in the military, Base Commander in the largest air force base in all of Canada and has transported some of the highest dignitaries to our country as a pilot. But how could someone so accomplished and highly regarded end up incarcerated for life? Let me start by giving you a look at his life before, during and after his career in the military. Born in Bromsgrove, England, his family moved to Chalk River, Ontario and met another family, the Sovka’s. The 2 families became close until at the age of 6 years old, Russell’s parents divorced. Not long after, Russell’s mother married family-friend Jerry Sovka. At that time he took on the last name, Sovka and moved again to Scarborough, Ontario. He attended Toronto …show more content…
With this technique, detectives can lie to suspect saying they have tons of evidence against them making them think “I’m screwed”. So they claimed they had tons of stacked up evidence (when they really didn’t). Williams admitted to everything and directed them to the body of Jessica Lloyd. Thanks to excellent police tactics in the interrogation room, Russell Williams is arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of sexual assault that happened in Tweed in September. Russell was later charged with 82 more offences. Here’s the breakdown, 11 counts of attempted breaking and entering, 61 counts of breaking and entering and theft and 10 counts of breaking and entering with intent to commit an indictable offence. Experts say Russell Williams is a ‘paraphilic’ (AKA a sexual deviant), they are often ‘turned on’ by hyper-dominance, sexual coercion and rape. Not surprising based on the evil fetishes that drove him to start committing such break-ins. Williams also is stated to suffer from manic depression and he claimed he was severely depressed when he did the murders. I do not believe the society Russell lived in played much or any part in the crimes he committed. He was well payed, in his 40’s and has a

    Fifteen days after the initial submission of the Kansas-Nebraska act to Congress, the Appeal of the Independent Democrats in Congress to the People of the United States (Appeal of the Independent Democrats) was issued (Chase). This manifesto was meant to comment on the constitutionality as well as validity of the Kansas-Nebraska act. It is obvious in its statements against the proposed bill: “We arraign this bill as a gross violation of a sacred pledge; as a criminal betrayal of precious rights; as part… of an atrocious plot to exclude from a vast unoccupied region, emigrants… and free laborers… and convert it into a dreary region of despotism, inhabited by masters and slaves. The Appeal of the Independent Democrats was signed by the senators and most of the House Representatives from Ohio, one of them being Representative Joshua Giddings, who also co-authored it along with Salmon P. Chase, then the senator. This is just one of many supports for the fact that Joshua Reed Giddings was strongly, one could even argue violently, opposed to the passage of this act.…

    Throughout the Revolutionary ear, African American slaves did not see any progress in their rights of liberty and freedom. In the process of fighting for liberty on January 6, 1773, a petition was produced to discuss the topic of the injustice of slavery for African Americans. The petition was signed with a first name only, but historians have come to the assumption that the author is Felix Holbrook, who was an African American enduring injustice during the Revolutionary era . Considering the point of view of the petition being written by the hand of presumably Holbrook, being an African American, the odds of him being enslaved or at the very least, having no rights as a citizen the petition is a very personal issue that directly affects…

    The period of c1886-c1926 saw great changes in investigative methods and thus lead to huge development in policing and how crime was dealt with. Such changes include the creation of the CID, and have shown to have more significance than others. For example, the introduction of forensic science enabled police to convict criminals in multiple cases, such as George Joseph Smith and Dr Crippen, rather than the use of telegram which only showed major significance in the Crippen case. A great flaw in 19th century policing regards the very few investigative methods available to detectives at the time.…
