Review of Literature
From Criminal Minds to CSI, everyone has watched the criminal investigation shows on television and loved watching gorgeous actors play scientists, who in the real scientific world would have no clue as to what they’re doing but surely we have all been curious, “How do they make blood light up?” The whole idea of forensic science has always interested people and that is what keeps those television shows running. The key to getting and creating any chemical reaction that glows is just a few chemicals at the right temperature and a few simple substances that can transform a simple concoction into an eerie looking splotch of blood or human fluid. Chemiluminescence is the generation of light through a chemical reaction and it can be emitted or seen in ultraviolet, visible or infrared lights. Chemiluminescence is common and even found in objects that most people don’t really think have a lot of science behind them. For example, glow sticks are an example of Chemiluminescence “When the two chemicals[in the glow stick]meet, the electrons in a glow stick become excited and create a bright glow as a side effect of the reaction known as chemiluminescence.” (M2 Presswir, Jul 2008). This article states the basic science behind Chemiluminescence, but to gain more information and a better understanding it’s important to look at the chemicals that are literally doing all the work. “ The luminol reaction is similar to the one responsible for those intriguing
Procedure: In this experiment, various chemicals were mixed together, to determine a reaction. Using two drops from chemical 1 and two drops of chemical two, unless otherwise stated, then recording the type of physical reaction or color changes that occurred.
294). This means even after a week the blood has been cleaned up, luminol can still detect it. Also after applying luminol, the area needs to be darkened so that blue glow can be emitted. “The iron from the hemoglobin in the blood causes luminol to glow, so a blue glow is produced when the solution is sprayed where there is blood. Only a tiny amount of iron is required to catalyze the reaction” (Helmenstine, 2012). The use of luminol revealed that there were blood stains on the bed sheets and suspected that the woman was killed in her bedroom and that she did not go to work that day or leave the house.
The environment a child is surrounded in is what develops a child’s perception into the mind of a criminal. The mind of a child is made purely of innocence until one is exposed to destructive developmental patterns. Children that have grown into the shoes of a criminal had been raised into a home with no control and where the environment creates vulnerability. Those who grow up into childhood with an unorganized lifestyle only want to possess the control and power that criminals contain. Children raised in this unstable environment develop a slow pace of skills adolescents learn earlier on (Shi and Nicol par.2). Juvenile sex offenders do not fully develop basic skills which makes it easier to be negatively pressured by society (par.
In Monster: The Autobiography of an L.A. Gang Member, Kody Scott tells the story of the struggle between two significantly large gangs. At the age of eleven he was initiated into the Crips, and committed his first murder. It was this day that began what would become a career for Kody: banging (Scott, 1993).
On September 19, 2016, AEON publishes an article by Judith Lichtenberg, “How US prisons violate three principles of criminal justice”. Lichtenberg suggests the Criminal Justice System is a failure for society. Americans agree that there is a problem with incarceration achieving very little, Lichtenberg says, but disagrees about the expressing their concerns about the discriminatory judicial system. She insists that retribution is a major issue for why people are being sent to prison. Three basic principles should control the use of incarceration as punishment. Lichtenberg argues punishments should correspond to the severity of the crime, discrimination in sentencings have negative effects for African Americans, and prisons should rehabilitate
The purpose of this lab was to carry out a systematic series of experiments to determine which chemicals and at what ratio produce chemiluminescence, and then to manipulate reaction conditions to extend glow time or brightness. The variables for day one were chemicals used, amount of chemical, order of addition, and stirring the substance or not. The main variables in day two were heating or cooling chemicals, order of addition, and stirring. The best trial for day 1 was trial 13, which was 2 drops of H2O2, 2 drops DMSO, 2 drops HCl, 2 drops NaOH, and 2 drops Bleach, in that order, added to 10 drops luminol, and then stirred.
According to the given scenario the Public order crimes such that the Big drug problem in our jurisdisdiction. The Public Order Crime implies criminal acts that digress from society's general thoughts of ordinary social conduct and good values. Open request crimes are considered as destructive to general society great and troublesome to a group's everyday life. For instance, paraphilia, prostitution, explicit entertainment, liquor and medication offenses are open request crimes. Further, open request crime incorporates consensual crime, harmless bad habit, and harmless crime. The public order crimes also impact on the other crime in our district, because the Drug or drink addition of the community, is the main point of the big crime such as
In his article, Edwin H. Sutherland examines “white-collar crimes.” Sutherland first starts the article off by defining what exactly is a “crime.” Sutherland goes on to describe and discuss the antitrust laws. Next, he describes the Sherman Antitrust Act, and that it states that any violation of the law is a misdemeanor. Then, he discusses the three methods that are used to enforce the Sherman Antitrust Act. He then goes on to explain the laws regarding infringements of the law. He also discusses the law in regard to financial manipulations. He goes on to discuss the stigma on white-collar crimes and juvenile delinquency. He the discusses the laws for business regulations, and the consequences in violating this laws. Next, he explains the three
At the beginning of the video, the spokesperson indicates that ninety-five percent of criminal cases enter pleas and never go to trial. With such a large amount, it is inevitable that innocent people will enter the criminal justice system. The individuals in society expect prosecutors and defense attorneys to act ethical at all times, however, this video highlights misconduct that likely occurs everyday. We see numerous examples of ethical issues and dilemmas throughout the entirety of the video, which can lessen the public's faith in the criminal justice system when these problems are brought to light.
The cosmogonic cycle is the journey of a hero through multiple stages. This is often seen when utilizing one main character as the hero of the story. Criminal Minds is unique in that it follows this cosmogonical cycle utilizing two main characters that are both depicted as heroes. The two characters within Criminal Minds follow this journey in each episode. Each episode may differ in that these two character travel through this cycle together; however, in some episodes they are on opposites points within the cycle; having this variety aids to their relationship with each other.

Light can be produced in many different ways, including incandescence, phosphorescence, and fluorescence (Gunderman 1). Incandescence is when heat makes an object release light, like the filament in a light bulb. Phosphorescence is when a material absorbs energy and then releases it slowly over time, like glow-in-the-dark toys. Fluorescence is when a material absorbs energy and releases it quickly as light (Gunderman 1). Fluorescence is the process used in glow sticks (Science Fair Projects 1). The fluorescent dye in this experiment’s glow sticks released yellow light. Different color glow sticks are made with different dyes (Harris 2).
ideas on what exactly crime is, how it is represented by the media, and how
It is very rare these days to turn on the news and not hear about a crime or a murder. Crime is a common occurrence yet many times it is difficult to understand how someone could bring themselves to do these things. It does seem to make any sense why a young handsome man from a good family would want to kill someone and then be able to go through with it. This leads one to wonder if the brains of people who behave in socially unacceptable ways are different from everyone else's brains. There is a substantial amount of evidence that suggests some criminals do have differences in their brains that most likely contribute to their behavior. Many of these individuals have Antisocial Personality Disorder and
The characteristics of the genre the work does meet is provide the reader thought provoking questions over their morals of what is considered a crime and what punishment should be made by delving into the mind of a criminal tormented by the guilt of a murder which presented psychological aspects, and displaying a situation that involves a criminal with motive and events that led to his imprisonment.
