Norrmalmstorg robbery

On the morning of August twenty-third, 1973, in a place called Stockholm, Sweden, Jan-Erik Olsson, an escaped convict, entered the Sveriges Kreditbanken, a bank in Stockholm, and took four bank employees hostage. He carried a loaded submachine gun and fired it into the ceiling, causing a mass panic. Jan-Erik wounded a policeman and demanded more than $700,000 in Swedish and foreign currency, a getaway car, and the release of Clark Olofsson, a convict who was serving time for an armed robbery and as an accessory in the 1966 murder of a police officer. When they were not able to take the hostages with them in order to get away safely, it turned into a six-day hostage drama. This enabled Jan and Clark to form a strong bond with the hostages. All were on a first name basis and the hostages started to fear the police instead of their captors. The hostages were threatened with physical harm, yet they still did not fear them. They even started to like them. Once the police finally captured Jan and Clark, two women yelled to police, “Don’t hurt them— they didn’t harm us.” They were completely immersed in their abductors’ world that they did not want anything done to keep them from seeing Jan and Clark (Klein 1). This concept was named “Stockholm Syndrome” by the media.…

the one that was on the hunt for Dalton Russell. As you can tell, all of these movies have something in common and that is a man as the leading role and the one that is doing the surveillance. The final convention that defines a surveillance genre is a crime. There is always a crime that is either committed or something that is planned to be done. In Nightcrawler, Bloom caught a home invasion on camera before the cops showed up on the scene. He caught it all on camera and failed to give the…

The many purposes of kidnapping, primarily aggravated, include ransom demands, procuring a hostage(in a bank robbery perhaps), with intent to commit sexual crimes, robbery, murder, to terrorize the victim(perhaps a stalker or a domestic dispute), or to achieve political aims(which may fall into a terroristic act). In many foreign countries kidnapping is an often used tool to fund terrorism, drive political and revolutionary goals, and simply as a source of income. Until recently Mexico City…

into planning their crime and were likely to have investigated in advance the security arrangements of their chosen target. These offenders also claimed to have given some thought to the possibility of being caught and the likely sentence if convicted. Indeed, these researchers portrayed the gun robber as a "top-of-the-range" criminal” (1996, p. 161). Where as, other researchers have concluded other findings. It was also noted, however, by Kapardis (1988) and Haran and Martin (1984) that bank…

The memories of his childhood continue to only bring only fear and sadness. I look back at the lone hours in vast and see that I have lived in the same old cave where there is nothing I can do to bring happiness into my life. The cave was a horrible place, full of passages, where you can only see the cobwebs and shadows. There was never light and so sometimes, I used to light candles to look at what is outside. I had always wished to go outside in the real world, and go into the society. But, I…

A man by the name of Charles Daniel came forward and confessed to the robberies. This was a relief for Manny because he was going to have to go through the process all over again, because of the mistrial. In think this is an unfortunate position to be in because things known to use now would have cleared a lot of people of wrong doing then. For example, in this new day and age technology has cleared many criminals of wrong doing in DNA samples alone that was not discovered back in the 80’s.…
