Compare The Differences Of The Killing And Criminal Minds?

The two television shows I have chosen to watch for this writing assignment are The Killing and Criminal Minds. I have chosen both of these television shows because they are both focused on the topic of solving murder and human trafficking cases which is something that I hope to work with after completing graduate school. Both T.V. series revolve around detectives working as a team to solve specific crimes that happen by using forensic evidence and the psychology of the suspect’s mind. Although both have the same general topic for a plot, they have distinct differences. For instance, The Killing is about two detectives working at a state level, working to solve one case in much more detail, over a longer span of time, making it appear much

A five year old boy, who’s father had just been executed in prison was abducted on the street while he was walking home from school. I think this crime is explained by the routine activity theory. I think this because the little boy was walking home alone, without a capable guardian, which with him being so young and unable to defend himself a suitable target, and the man who was following him home from school clearly wanted to take him, making him a motivated offender. The police were acting much more panicked with the news of the missing child. I think this is explained by the fact that there was no evidence that he had been injured and there was still a good chance of finding him

This episode begins with the Behavioral Analysis Unit or the BAU receiving a murder case for a woman named Paige Lincoln. Her body was found stabbed in the chest and stomach in her home. Her and her husband resided in Glenport Village which is a planned neighborhood for sex offenders. This is interesting to me because people who are married have a much lower risk of being victimized. This makes me think that the victim was just at the wrong place at the wrong time and the crime could be explained by the deviant place theory. The first thing that I thought about after learning this information is that the suspect could have possibly be a re-offender because the crime occurred in a neighborhood for past sex offenders. This would make sense because people who have committed a crime in the past are much more likely to recommit a crime. Another thing that stood out to me was that the victim was married to a documented sex-offender. I think this would classify as a high risk lifestyle considering that he is a recorded criminal. The lifestyle theory explains that people who live high risk lives have a much higher chance of being victimized. The BAU believes that the crime should be fought by questioning members of the community to discover which was most likely to be the suspect. They begin by looking into the criminal history of the residents to see if this murder could be linked
