  • Crazy In America Summary

    Unlike Shayne, Jessica, and Joseph, Peter and Alan’s story with the criminal system was different. Peter and Alan had little in common besides having mental illness and dying at the hands of untrained cops. Peter was born within a very abusive family, and he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Pfeiffer describes Peter as “slow and simple, and his childhood was as tumultuous”(131). Whereas Alan was bright enough to get into University of Tampa which was interrupted because of his mental deterioration. Overtime, Alan’s behavior changed to be intense and aggressive. After being hospitalized, his mother took care of him up until her death, it was then that things intensive for him. Alan was large sized and he hated cops. One day, due to assumption of a female officer, Alan was shot and killed. According to the officer “crazy people are unpredictable” (127). Likewise, with time Peter’s behavior also changed especially with his mother. Peter had taken violent actions towards his mother. The criminal system was them involved and from that point on he was no longer looked at as a mentally ill 205-pound individual, yet as a criminal, who refused arrest, and his action “determined how they treated him” (120). Just like Alan he was killed during an arrest, he was suffocated by the cops. Their encountered with the cops could’ve been different if those cops were trained to recognize the symptoms of psychosis and if they knew how to respond to

    As we learned this week, DNA databases are used by various governmental agencies for several different purposes. We all have seen new magazine shows such as, 20/20 or Dateline, that show the collection of DNA samples from suspects in a case that is compared to those collected at the scene of the crime. But what happens when the sample is an incomplete match, compromised, or contaminated? The answer is the wrongful conviction of innocent citizens. The case that I have decided to highlight, is the wrongful conviction of Herman Atkins. In 1986, Atkins was convicted of two counts of forcible rape, two counts of oral copulation, and robbery in the state of California. It was alleged that Herman entered a shoe store, and raped, beat, and robbed a

  • Abnormal Behavior In American Psycho

    People who have this disorder are usually self-centered and have a hard time maintaining relationships. This is clear as in the entire movie he doesn’t seem to care about his fiance. He had sex with many other women, and when he was asked if he was dating anybody he responded by saying, “not really.” This also shows how he was a liar. He constantly lied to get out of situations and to make himself feel better. For example, he believed that he made a reservation at a restaurant when they were clearly all booked. As well as being a pathological liar, he was also decietful. He tricked a prostitute into thinking she was safe by going to his apartment. He ended up murdering her with a chainsaw. He was always rude and straightforward to others as he was inconsiderate of anyone’s feelings. He told a woman he worked with exactly what to wear; and if she did not look good he would tell her she was ugly. He was very shallow and arrogant as he cared very much about his facial features. Patrick did not display many emotions except for greed and digust. He showed zero remorse for the people he murdered; it was as if nothing happened. People with antisocial personality disorder also show recklessness. Towards the end of the movie he believed he was going to get caught for all of the murders he completed, and therefore decided to shoot everyone he came in contact with. This included police officers, security

    Even in death, Peter cannot escape ridicule. At a time when everyone is supposed to celebrate his life and mourn his death, they are still mocking Peter. He is still the punch line to cruel jokes. At one point, a funeral attendee speculates that the reason the casket is closed is because “he was in there in a big wig and heels” (Doty 11/12). Peter was being judged at his own funeral. That is pathetic. No one should have to endure that, but Peter did. This poor individual was told that he “asked for it” (Doty 16). “It” is referring to death. He was just...
