  • The Twisted Scarf And The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd

    429 Words  | 1 Pages

    After reading both “The Affair of the Twisted Scarf” and “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd” I found several similarities and several differences between the two mysteries. One similarity is that both stories open with a female character really connecting with the detectives to share their concern about a murder that has happened. Both females are reluctant to come right out and tell their stories but utilize an angle to lure in the detective to come and listen to them. In “The Affair of the Twisted Scarf” Archie Goodwin is sought out by one of the main characters Cynthia Brown who tells her troubles thru Goodwin who she hopes will translate her story to Nero Wolfe. Basically Nero Wolfe passively sits back and allows Goodwin to gather all of

    1047 Words  | 3 Pages

    "Henry Lee Lucas enjoyed holding the title of 'the most infamous man on death row.' His fleeting fame did not evolve from the three cold-blooded murders he did commit, but from hundreds of murders he did not." (Bonnie Bobit) He confessed to hundreds of murders to prove several points, as well as to delay his death sentence. Lucas lived through a childhood of abuse and neglect. If there is a case that proves a person's childhood is reflected in their later actions this could certainly be one. He was never taught that life had any value and perhaps this led him into a life of crime. (killer index)

Augusta, a passionate Lutheran, lecture to her sons the innate corruption of the world, the evils of alcohol, and the belief that all women were prostitutes and did nothing but bad in Gods eyes, and all women were pawns of the devil himself to lure man into deception. Augusta, made her sons read the Bible each afternoon me, usually choosing text from the Old Testament that spoke on death or killing, murder, and vengeance.

No one grows up thinking that one day they're going to become a serial killer. Everyone has their reasons for doing what they do, most of the time it is based off of how you were brought up.

  • An Analysis Of The Axeman Murders

    1848 Words  | 4 Pages

    In Johnston (2014, pg. 1)he found that a man known as “the Axeman” began terrorizing the city of New Orleans in 1918 and 1919. The axeman would randomly kill residents with an axe . The person responsible for the axeman murders was never found (Johnston, 2014, pg.1). In Swancer (2016) he found that there were two main suspects in the axeman murders. The primary suspects were: Joseph Mumfre(paragraph 22) , and Andrew Maggio(Swancer, 2016, paragraph 4). Unfortunately, there was not enough evidence to fully accuse one of them for the series of murders committed by the axeman. Some people even think that the act of the series of murders was not an act of a human being, but of a supernatural being (Swancer, 2016, 14). The fact of so many murders seem too bizarre to have been cased by just one average person. Who was the axeman,and what was his motive for the series of murders?

  • Is a Serial Killer Born or Created?

    1033 Words  | 3 Pages

    Serial killers have many frightening facets. The most frightening thing about them is that experts still do not know what makes a human become a serial killer. Many experts believe serial killers become what they are because they have a genetic disposition or brain abnormality while other experts believe that a serial killer is created by childhood abuse; and some other experts believe that it is a combination of both brain abnormalities and abusive childhood experiences that creates a serial killer. A murderer is considered a serial killer when they “murder three or more persons in at least three separate events with a “cooling off period” between kills” (Mitchell and Aamodt 40). When defining a serial killer, their background, genes, and brain are not mentioned; perhaps one day those aspects of the serial killer can be included.

  • Summary Of Capital Punishment By Christopher Bennett

    Christopher Bennett a criminal law and philosopher wrote “Considering Capital Punishment as a Human Interaction” which focused on different viewpoints of the death penalty. Through the years the phrase an eye for an eye would meet the criteria for which the death penalty could be used for. In this journal, social control is the foundation of which the paper is written on. Social control is focused on deterrence which means if there is a force of punishment that is severe enough it will deter those from committing such an act. Surprisingly the death penalty had relatively low deterrence and as a result death row has harbored many inmates. Of those incarcerated there has been innocent people convicted. The article broke down the idea of the death

Bundy confessed to killing 28 women in the 1970s in ghastly fashion and some believe he may have killed far more. It is hard to imagine what could cause any person to cross the mental boundary into such macabre behavior as Bundy perpetrated. Nevertheless, it is important to try to understand that behavior because only though such an understanding would society be able to identify and deter mass murderers in order to save lives.
