We then drove eastbound on Ne 120th Street and Detective Davidson stated, “There he is.” I had the sun in my eyes and did not see him at first and asked Detective Davidson, “Where?” I then saw the male walking westbound in the parking lot of an office building in the 11400 block of NE 118th ST. Detective Davidson stopped the car in the middle of the road and we both exited the vehicle, drew and pointed our department issued firearms at the male. Detective Davidson yelled to the male, “Police stop!”…
The Jefferson County Egan Murders took place on New Year’s Eve in 1964 in Watertown, New York. Two brothers and one sister were murdered at a rest stop on interstate 81.

Gordon Wood worked as a chauffeur and personal assistant for the stockbroker Rene Rivkin.…
Being charged with manslaughter is appropriate label for Brent’s actions. Sentenced to probation in suitable for Brent as well, because a fine or other punishment related to money may not have had much of an impact. Based on the evidence provided, the conclusion should be drawn that Even though Brent was mostly responsible for his actions before and during the accident, the blame must not be completely placed on him. Other sources of influence, such as Brent’s parents, Chaz, and Chaz’s parents, must be investigated further, but Brent being sentenced to probation is an appropriate punishment as a result of the…
Facts of the Case At the age of 17, Christopher Simmons murdered Shirley Crook in the state of Missouri in 1933. Simmons was sentenced to death after it was found that he had concocted a plan to break into the home of Crook, tie her up, and toss her off of a bridge with two other friends, Charles Benjamin and John Tessmer. In the middle of the night at about 2 a.m., Benjamin and Simmons broke into the victims home through an open window and carried out the crime as planned without Tessmer, who dropped out of the plan. Simmons had no criminal history but because of the overwhelming evidence, a testimony from his younger friend Tessmer, Simmons confession to the murder, and videotaped reenactment at the crime the court considered the murder…

The 11:05 Murders is a hard-boiled crime mystery novel built around the work of Inspector Sheehan. Written by Brian O’Hare, It belongs to volume two of the Inspector Sheehan Mysteries and is published by Crimson Cloak Publishing. This book is purely a work of fiction though it feels as if plucked from real-life events. The book revolves around mysterious murders that occur at 11:05 pm and follows WDS Denise Stewart, DCI Jim Sheehan and the rest of their team as they race against time to catch the perpetrator and save his next target. Despite being second in a series there is no follow up from previous work that would leave the reader feeling confused.…
Interestingly, in the past years, there were reports of survivors that reported losing a friend or non-immediate family member; still mental health outcomes were significant. Overall, the major risk of adolescent survivors was psychological issues like depression, substance use, and alcohol abuse even after controlling for exposure to other violent events. Unfortunate, these risks lend support to the growing literature on the uniqueness of homicide survivorship (Rheingold et al., 2012). Specifically, one in ten adolescents was criminal homicide survivors.…
For this discussion I would like to talk about the rise in homicides. America is considered to be the pride of world society and the role model for other countries. But we also sit number one (1) in violence. Crime rates in America have always been higher than in other nations of equal or greater wealth. We also have higher murder rates then Europe, Japan and even our neighboring country Canada.…
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.…
