The CPD Case Study

Decent Essays
Shattered glass and bloody footprints decorated the interior of 8 Heever Ave. The police, thoroughly shaken by how quickly the criminal chose his next victim, were in aghast at which manner this crime was perpetrated. To the bare eye, it appeared as if the victim was stabbed once above her heart. However, the CPD (Chicago Police Department) had put its best detectives on the case, and it was quite obvious that there was definitely more to this case than what met the eye. One officer at hand had braved it and reached out in a feeble attempt to change the corpse’s position, in order to examine the stab from the back.

    In “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” the police cannot surpass the horrifying nature of the double homicide. They are so distracted by the mutilated and choked victims, that they do not inspect the windows of the apartment, which was a central point to the investigation of these murders. What makes Dupin such a great detective is the fact that he distances himself from the emotional aspect of a crime. He is almost like a mathematician, as he views the crime scene as a place of calculation.…

    Jack The Ripper Identity

    Within the span of ten weeks, London’s overcrowded and impoverished East End was subjected to a series of grisly homicides that went unsolved. What made these slayings so unique to an area already heavily entrenched in violent crime, was the sheer brutality of the homicides. Inside the boundary lines of a single square mile, a number of prostitutes were strangled and mutilated by an unidentified serial killer known to the public as Jack the Ripper. Despite the efforts of the Metropolitan Police to find and capture the assailant, the true identity of the Ripper is as much of a mystery today as it was in 1888. Speculative theories concerning the identity of the Whitechapel butcher continue to evoke public interest and endure the test of time.…

    Straying from the straightforward criminologist story to instead feature realities that had been left buried, the element of truth shines. Not only are Roger and Bernard aficionados of historical truth, the third—and perhaps most notable point of view—inspector Cadin, surpasses his role as policeman to also transition to a seeker of uncovering the truth of the past that had been concealed. The further Cadin travels into this mystery, the more he brings the past to present. In following with the expectations of a detective novel, there are times when Cadin receives bogus leads (p. 73), fails to follow procedure (p. 113), or flat out abandons the case at hand in pursuit of the bizarre heist at the height on the mystery. Throughout the story, we are rarely given the chance to breathe.…

    The narrator is not trustworthy as the story is highly subjective. In ‘‘The Tell-Tale Heart,’’ stimulus in objective sense scarcely exists at all. The story contains only two main characters, both unnamed, and three indistinguishable police officers; even the setting of the narration is left unspecified. Only the man’s eye motivates the murderer, and that almost wholly through his internal reaction to it. The action too, though decisive, is quickly over, “In an instant I dragged him to the floor, and pulled the heavy bed over him.’’…
