    The Victorian era was a time of great cultural upheaval in Britain. There were new clothes, new music, new breeds of dogs, and most importantly, new forms of punishment for crimes. This cultural metamorphosis was mostly harmless, but it also gave birth to some horrific crimes as well. This fact is what makes those punishments so important. As evils both great and small were rising up, there had to be punishments to meet them at the pass. The Victorian era implemented punishments that not only…

    sex, but cannot be trusted. While essential for the survival of humankind, women's motives are suspect. Ripper's choice to send his planes to bomb the Soviet Union even when unprovoked is symbolic of his fear of being attacked. The fact that General Ripper would order a nuclear strike, to keep the Russians from executing an insane "secret plan" to contaminate U.S. drinking water, to insure his own sexual functioning at the cost of millions of Russian lives is extremely humorous. The fact is that…

    Holmes’ decision in choice of women to which he tortures and kills, they would need to have an “amalgam of isolation,weakness, and need.”, further elaborated by saying how “Jack the Ripper had found it in the impoverished whores of Whitechapel; Holmes saw it in transitional woman,” (199). By paralleling Holmes with Jack the Ripper, a notorious murderer causing the haunting cases of murder, it portrays Holmes as a sinister man with no humanity, which deters the world to be pushed into a direction…

    The inductive method is statistics collected concerning the behaviors and mannerisms of how criminals conduct themselves while in the act of doing a crime. Not all criminals are the same but within this method it is suggested that although everyone is different they still commit comparable wrongdoings and therefore have a connection. An example of this is unreliable, such as if all child molesters were found to have committed drug related offenses at an earlier age then it is concluded in an…

    Reading Stephen King's essay on why we crave horror, makes me question his beliefs, as he wrote, “those of us outside the asylums only hide it a little better – and maybe not all that much better, after all.” I do not find a craving of horror movie essential for my life, (though I do enjoy a nice thrill every now and then) but this line makes me wonder if we are all secretly batshit crazy. I concur with his statement that almost everyone is partially insane at times. He says that horror movies…

Due to the unique execution of the Unabomber’s crimes, the Unabomber case is my favorite case, after the case that I researched. The suspect in the Unabomber case was a man named Ted Kaczynski. Kaczynski was an…
