This exposure has sparked an interest in forensics and has led me to research different careers in the field of criminal forensics. Due…

Some people say that crime keeps going up. Others say that it is going down as time goes on. Either way, some people feel that capital punishment is a deterrent of crime. Others feel that the death penalty is inhumane and a cruel and unusual punishment that will never be appropriate, no matter what the crime was. People who are pro-capital punishment theorize that a person is less likely to commit a crime because they do not want to die at the hands of the government. People saying the…

If a young boy, no older than thirteen, murders another boy of the same age, would this boy, who murdered the other boy, be charged or would the jury plead that he is not old enough to take responsibilities for his crimes? Lord of the Flies pushes the reader to think about this exact question. Lord of the Flies is a novel written by William Golding in the 1950s. Many people opposed the novel because the novel touched many sensitive and taboo subjects. One of…

Sir Robert Peel founded the first UK Police Force in 1823 based on the principle that ‘the Police are the public and public are the Police’. In doing so, he described the role of British Policing in preventing crime and upholding the rule of law with fairness, impartiality and integrity as fundamental foundations to a democratic society. I am intrigued as to how whilst Peel’s simple principles of policing still apply today, the ‘styles’ of policing and tools that are used during investigations…

When there is the occurrence of crime incident, passers-by tends to ignore it and leave. Consequently, the criminal can be unapprehended because of no assistance to victim or reporting the case to police.
