Many times, I would sneak into the basement with my mother’s sexology magazines and, of course, some black and white nude photos were included, but I never associated the bodies with any of the stories.

During those times, my mother could never bring herself to discuss sex related topics or even menstruation. I had to learn by natural development, again, not instructional, which definitely was harder. As I began to nurture my passion for reading, I began devouring True Detective Magazines more than Sexology, which led to a further passion for crime and drama. On many occasions, even though I did not enjoy visiting my aunt’s house, I discovered she was a True Detective Magazine fan and while there, I was able to read infinitely of my favorite magazine. In those days, many people did not own air conditioners; therefore, on one-hundred degree days, I stayed in the house absorbing every story possible and even though I started having nightmares of someone chasing me, I continued to read them. In addition to True Detective and Sexology, I read Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Archie comic books, the newspapers, and anything else I could handle. I became lost in the…

    The majority of critics view The Things they Carried as one of the most honest depictions of the Vietnam War that has ever been written. Very few authors combine writing a vivid description of war with the pure emotion that the soldiers felt during the war as appropriately as O’Brien does. However, despite the clear depiction of war, this novel raises the question, “What is true?”. Through analyzing this novel, it is clear the author believes that the happening-truth of a story is far less…

    Throughout both films, there is never a failure due to technology not working the way that it is supposed to. Every error is human error, either due to ignorance or mistake. The police force has access to all the current technology, everything from spy software used to bug Jef’s apartment to the interactive maps of the metro where they fail to properly track the suspects. These maps play a large part in showing the failures of the detectives in both films. In Le Samourai, throughout the entire…

    Based on this study, these results do not support the role of investigative experience as the key to effective profiling but also, the trends among the police groups seem to be opposite of what would be expected. This study finds little evidence to support the hypothesis that investigative experience is the essential skill for effective psychological profiling. This study is good because it provides research that shows criminal profiling is still in its infancy. There have been previous studies…

    Although they don’t make as much money as a lawyer, the work appears much more exciting and the amount of schooling is far less, thus saving me money in the long run. Detectives also have more hands on experience in their line of work, they get to be outdoors more and even travel sometimes. This variety and unpredictability is extremely appealing to me but even more so is the chance to make a difference in people’s lives. Detectives make the community a secure and sound environment for all…
