The Killer's Shocking Answers

Sensationalized Murder was a widely accepted form of entertainment. Both broadsides and well-respected newspapers, like the times, reported habitually about murder. Still, why would a society based on the principle of strict morality find this drivel interesting? Flanders theory is “that it reinforces a sense of safety, even pleasure that murder can happen, but just not here.” The truth goes much further than Flanders’s theory. Fisher in his book Killer Among Us explores the modern fascination with crime, and how it stems from a primal instinct of fear and the pleasure it brings. Both Fisher and Flanders assumptions supports the theory that Victorians sensationalized murder, a constant verbal in the human existence, as a way to cope or remain

On the first day that the police began their digging, they found two bodies. One of the bodies was buried under the garage. The other body was the one found in the crawl space.

King adds to the reader’s suspense by giving light details of the gruesome murders. The first victim’s throat cut from ear to ear. The second tells a paranormal event with her head decapitated and had been found on a soggy path of ground twelve feet from the nearest sidewalk, and yet there were no footprints, not even her own. King also describes the 3rd victim murder scene as he left her

The street was flooded with cop cars and sirens by the time Detective Toussaint arrived on the scene. He briefly greeted his colleagues consisting of nearly the entire Erie Police Department, Forensics, and numerous other variations of uniform, all embellished with the familiar detailed charcoal and crimson emblem. As Detective Toussaint ducked and weaved his way skillfully through the barriers of striped plastic tape, Edward Linder, the Erie PD coroner and an unusually odd man both in looks and manner, had skulked over to join the Detective. Linder exclaimed abruptly, “Three murders!” with an enthusiastic grin, “Discovered by a neighbour when she heard a scream. Knocked on the door but no one answered, so she looks through the window and sees

Just like the title states, The Use of Criminal Profilers in the Prosecution of Serial Killers by Chelsea van Aken’s is a peer-reviewed article that covers issues associated with Criminal profilers in the courtroom. Aken’s elaborates on the lack of understanding the criminal justice system has on accurately profiling ‘serial killers’, and scrutinizes the current definition, typography, and the use of criminal profilers in the courtroom. The article makes a direct connection to the topic of Forensic Psychology by specifically addressing subjects relevant to criminal profiling, and elaborates on it’s flaws. While criminal profiling is widely known, it has become part of public consciousness even though many people have no idea how it is done

It's sick to think the killers find mirth from taking someone's life. Who would have the etiquette to feel the need to murder someone with no possible explanation? This wasn't a primitive case. The fingerprints had just got terminated to the lab, with evidence of two different individuals. Evidence that the cops accumulated were links to conspiratorial evidence which created a impenetrable search.

The unorganized room made me realize objects insinuate to be out of place. Seconds later the cops caught

creating the view of the man about to be murdered. The ending leaves the reader

I have pause when the author, Martin Gansberg, starts recounting the story from the victim’s point of view. “Miss Genovese noticed a man at the far end of the lot”. Kitty Genovese, the victim was dead before anyone could speak with her. It’s possible that this was the way that the police reenacted the story. I felt there were several moments where he enhanced the story instead of just sticking to the facts. The story reads like setting the stage for a fictional novel.

A sequence of dead bodies materialised on the screen: some mauled beyond recognition, some familiar. The corpse of Devin sprawled across the ground in an almost comic fashion, his expression reflecting his sudden death. A gaping vacancy where his chest should’ve been. Whimsical, bloody flourishes about him, like the killer relished the murder.

An age old killer interview question has been “what would you take to a desert island”. Answers would typically consist of responses such as plastic bags, duct tape, a boat or perhaps a 3-D printer, a solar-powered laptop to connect to it, and a very, very, very large supply of raw material for the printer. But in today’s society, the most important ‘currency’ in both ‘real’ and ‘virtual’ life has to be the capacity to ‘get online’. Technology has changed the world in which we live. It always has, and will continue to ever more. Furthermore, technology has changed and disrupted so many industries and companies and the way organisations now market, engage and interact with their customers. Now it’s not just the product, service or
