Unit John Anderton's Vision Of The Future

This paper will try to explore two theories of the beltway sniper. The first is the conflict theory and the second is the psychological theory. There will be summarizing of the crime (dates, offenders, how they were caught if they were). The two theories will try to explore the crime. Each of the theory will shed light on the reasons for the crime. For this paper, I will provide evidence to which theory seems to be stronger. I will also show any evidence that will lead to the deviant path that was taken. I will be explaining how you determine the path that was taken for the crime. I hope that after reading this the audience will have a better understanding of the conflict and psychological theory of the beltway DC sniper.

The film ‘Minority Report’ demonstrated that despite using the system of having pre-cogs topredict futurecrimes was thought to be perfect, it is still proven in the end that the system is flawed, where someone was able to fool the system in order to

It is a fool-proof system born to ensure absolute safety…but when it crumbles, would you go against everything it stands for just to save it? This is the platform that Philip K. Dick, author of the sci-fi short story "The Minority Report" (MR), has given us. Set in a futuristic New York City, we see Police Commissioner John A. Anderton as the founder of a promising new branch of policing: Precrime, a system that uses "Precogs" (mutated and retarded oracles) to predict all future crimes. However, the system appears to backfire when Anderton himself is accused to kill a man he's never even heard of. The movie adaptation by the same name also centers on a younger Chief Anderton, a respected employee of Precrime, predicted to murder a complete

The Pre Crime Unit uses pre cogs (siblings who can see visions of murders before they happen) to predict the future and control the society and the murder rate. Although the Pre Crime Unit did reduce all murders to 0, the police gave no choice to the potential killer if they went through with the killing. In the movie, Agatha (a pre cog), kept repeating “You have a choice” to John Anderton while in the act of killing a man. The government gives no choice of control to the people. Although the intentions of the invention of Pre Crime were originally good, the idea ended up being an overall disaster for John, the government, and people in charge of officially making Pre Crime an effective way to resolve murder. In Minority Report, people are arrested for crimes they didn’t commit yet. The people have a choice to commit the crime or not, yet before they even make the decision, they are

In the 1980s, the City of New York was a City polluted with waste and graffiti, where people would always get away with committing a crime. In Malcolm Gladwell’s essay “The Power of Context: Bernie Goetz and the Rise and Fall of New York City Crime” gives us a probable explanation of how a change like this can happen. The essay is an environmental argument, with varying kinds of a seemingly endless amount of verification, which suggests that crimes can be prohibited depending on what the environment is like. Malcolm Gladwell, provides evidence throughout his entire essay that explains The Power of Context. The Power of Context indicates that the situation people are in has an effect on how they act wherever they are at.

Criminals are roaming America, trying to prey the innocent for their selfish desires. In an effort to lower crime rate and protect society, various people have attempted to find ways to stop criminals before they act. One of these examples is given by Henrick Karoliszyn in his article “Precognitive Police.” Karoliszyn elaborates on a system that could equip police to stop wrongdoers before they go through with their plan. The majority of criminal acts are thoroughly planned through the course of several months. With thoughtful planning and no opposing forces, criminals can perform a horrible crime in the blink of an eye. According to the system proposed by Karoliszyn, police could use suspicious activity, data, and other resources in an effort

CBS aired the television show “Criminal Minds” in 2005, involving a team of seven intelligent and unique individuals. It is running strong into its seventh season and continues to gain popularity from people of all ages. This elite group of individuals makes up the leading team of profilers for the Federal Bureau of Investigation Behavioral Analysis Unit. These men and women find themselves in violent and dangerous situations all the time in their career with the FBI. The drama immerses viewers into the world of crime and violence that most people do not experience. The job of these FBI agents is to profile criminals and figure out their next move so they can stop them from committing another crime to innocent people. This show not only

William Bratton, commissioner of the New York Police Department from 1994 to 1996, presided over a dramatic decline in the city’s crime rate. Hired by Mayor Rudolph Giuliani as part of a new crime fighting initiative, Bratton embraced the “broken windows” theory that had made him so successful as chief of the city’s transit police. According to this theory, when a community ignores small offenses such as a broken window on a parked car, larger offenses such as burglary, robbery, and assault inevitably follow. Conversely, serious crime can be prevented if a community polices the little

In 1967, the President’s Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice called for a revolution in the approach to crime. As a result, the commission developed seven specific goals that are relevant in the twenty-first century: prevent crimes, adopt new ways of dealing with offenders, eliminate injustice and unfairness, upgrade personnel, conduct research to find new and effective ways to control crime, appropriate the necessary funds to accomplish the goals, and involve all elements of society in

5). Intelligence is not the information collected; it is the finished production of the collected data after it has been evaluated and analyzed. More often than not, predictive policing is misunderstood. The misunderstanding lies on both over emphasizing its capabilities and under estimating how predictive policing can help make the community a safer place. In addition to the misunderstanding of this practice of policing, it is often a challenge for law enforcement to stay parallel to the crime trend, and patterns. It is argued that instead of working with information collected to anticipate new crimes, policing officers’ preference locations where known crimes have already been committed (Casady, 2011, p. 2). Although effective, this is not an accurate practice of intelligence-led policing, as it does not fully account for future crimes and activities.

This is real life. This is not a damn simulation. That is not target practice. That is not a practice dummy. I’ve shot him. I have just shot him. This man is dead. I have killed this man. I have taken the bloody soul out of a man. How long have I been standing here? Twenty minutes seems about right.

What’s the best way to lower the homicide rate? By stopping homicides before they happen? At least that’s what the precrime police thought. Neuroin, a new drug introduced into society causes major birth defects in children of moms that use it. Many did not survive, but three were saved. They had an unwanted gift though. They could successfully predict future homicides by visions they receive. These children, called precognitives or precogs, help the department of precrime to completely stop murders in Washington D.C. for 6 years. The system was thought to be perfect, until a prevision was seen predicting John Anderton, one of the heads of precrime, is predicted to kill someone he hasn’t even met yet. John takes off to try
