Crime scene

According to Douglas and Ressler, organized crimes are committed by those who show no remorse and have carefully planned their every move, which is why little evidence is found at the crime scene. In contrast, disorganized crimes are oftentimes committed by young offenders who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol and/or are mentally ill; they are not planned, which is why these types of criminals leave evidence, such as fingerprints and blood at the crime…

and values of outcomes from different situations for an individual” (Hirschman). The first example of this I would like to discuss is between Sgt. Ryan and Shaniqua Johnson. Ryan is used to having power work to his advantage as noticed from other scenes in the movie; so he goes to her office in hopes of reaping a reward in the exchange between the two. He now finds himself in a position where he does not have the upper hand like he usually does. She has the power in the situation, in other words…

Shoeprint analysis was conducted by Geary Kanaskie of the FBI. Analysis of Brown’s Fila running shoes showed they were the same size as the prints recovered from the scene and the top of the shoeprint matched those in the house. An FBI serologist, Joe Errera, tested the shoes for blood. He stated that the right shoe came up clean but the left shoe tested positive for blood during chemical testing (Sherwood, 1997). Errera…

The death penalty in the United States can be seen through the eyes of every individual differently. For me the topic is very true to its nature if you did the crime you must pay the ultimate price. So for my analysis on a stakeholder I choose the justice system, simply because they are the ones behind the scenes who must decide what is right or wrong in every case that comes to their desk. I will discuss the pros and cons that come along with the justice system. Bias or not really…

I believe Leonard Peltier should be discharged from jail. There are many reasons why he should be released and be able to join his family again. I do not think there was enough evidence to convict him for the killing of the FBI agents. The two pieces of evidence that I thought should not have been used against him were; the agents’ said he was driving a red pickup truck and they believed they had found the gun that Leonard used in the shooting. Both of these pieces of evidence are flawed and…

The data ranges from the years 2007 to 2012. In comparison, Massachusetts does not have a lot of cases of arson. The number also stays within a close range…

The idea of criminal profiling dates to the 1880’s. George Phillips and Thomas Bond used evidence from a crime scene to describe the Jack the Rippers personality. In this case, Jack the Ripper, murdered five prostitutes and disfigured their bodies in different ways in the Whitechapel District in London. This lasted from August 7 to September 10, 1888. From the way he destroyed the bodies, criminal profilers, Bond and Phillips could tell that he had some background knowledge of human autonomy.…
