After a while, Sierra found the forum to be filled more and more with wannabe murderers who just wanted something to jack off to. It was really a waste of her time and while still keeping the forum opened -- just minimized on the laptop -- she went back to searching the normal browser for some other articles that could help her write her paper. However, it didn't take long for her to hear a small bell dinging and curious to see if it was from the forum, Sierra pulled it back up. Her eyes scanned the name once more. It had been the one she made the remark to and he had taken no time in replying back. Reading his message back to her, Sierra felt herself come alive for a moment. She thought more on his words; how he had left the women in his wake. …show more content…
She didn't care much on how they were presented, though she would keep in mind to tell her uncle that perhaps they shouldn't be focusing on some church-going fanatic. Then again, Sierra paused as she thought more on the subject. Slowly, her fingers began to type once more.
I couldn't care less what pictures you decided to post. Though, if you were the real deal, you wouldn't be hiding behind some school photo or some picture a mother and father gave to the police to find the 'sick religious nut' who did that to their baby girl. Their words, not mine.
It amused her that the guy thought he was dealing with another fuck who just wanted to get off to snuff pictures of the girls he claimed to have done those things to. Sierra wondered what she did have to offer to the guy. He had left behind a boat load of DNA her uncle James had told her. The guy had cum in Rachael's pussy as well as her ass, tearing muscle that would have left Rachael in agony as he used her. What Sierra didn't tell her uncle was how she would have loved to watch the woman in pain. Perhaps it was a little macabre to think that way, but Sierra was intrigued with how people dealt with pain; both physical and mental. Surely Rachael would have been in as much mental anguish as she was
Diane Urban, for instance, was one of the many people who were trapped inside this horror. She “was comforting a woman propped against a wall, her legs virtually amputated” (96). Flynn and Dwyer appeal to the reader’s ethical conscience and emotions by providing a story of a victim who went through many tragedies. Causing readers to feel empathy for the victims. In addition, you began to put yourself in their shoes and wonder what you would do.
As I was completing this assignment, I was watching the infamous Netflix documentary entitled Making a Murderer. The documentary follows the story of Steven Avery, who is currently in prison for the death of a woman, Teresa Halbach, in 2005. Steven Avery has been denying any involvement in the murder of Teresa Halbach for the past eleven years. In the middle of the reading, the documentary was exploring and analyzing Steven Avery’s deviant behavior as a young man (Making). As I observed what was being discussed about Steven Avery, I was able to build the connection between how society, and the community from which he came from, perceived Steven Avery and what Kai Erikson discussed in the first couple pages of the book with regards to deviance and its relation with regards to society.
In a compelling story of forgiveness and moving on, Jennifer Thompson and Ronald Cotton shared their journey with the Ferris community. Thompson took the audience to a setting in July 29, 1984, by recounting the night of her rape and the measures she went to memorize the face of evil. Thompson, with utmost certainty, declared Cotton her rapist after hours of police interrogations, forming sketches, and a lineup. Cotton was sentenced to life in prison but was at Ferris to share his side of the story and how DNA testing changed his life (Picking Cotton). The events of 1984 were told from two separate accounts, with distinguished parallels discussing the importance of DNA, misidentification, and coercion from police. The rape of Thompson not only affected herself, but Cotton as well.

The sentencing of underage criminals has remained a logistical and moral issue in the world for a very long time. The issue is brought to our perspective in the documentary Making a Murderer and the audio podcast Serial. When trying to overcome this issue, we ask ourselves, “When should juveniles receive life sentences?” or “Should young inmates be housed with adults?” or “Was the Supreme Court right to make it illegal to sentence a minor to death?”. There are multiple answers to these questions, and it’s necessary to either take a moral or logical approach to the problem.
She told the newsroom, “I gave them everything I could gather, from the parajumper unit- 18 of them- who’d ended up sleeping on a yacht, to the K-9 rescue worker who’d driven through the night, 15 hours from Halifax, Nova Scotia, with his body-sniffing dog” (Finkelstein, p. 6). With this, Finkelstein gave a complete and comprehensive recount of the day’s events with context that was relevant to the situation. To conclude the text, Finkelstein states, “It was early Thursday. And though more than 40 hours had passed since I first hopped on my bicycle, the terrible story had just begun” (Finkelstein, p. 6). This further demonstrates Finkelstein’s true dedication as a reporter to do what is morally correct; she went out of her way to go get the news that the people needed. The people needed the truth, and Finkelstein went out of her way to achieve this goal, and exhibit how she partakes in the Social Responsibility
Melinda had several times through the year where if she had asked for help, her life would have drastically improved. An instant of such is near the beginning of the school year, where Melinda notices her friend Rachel in the bathroom. On page 21 the text reads, “I want to grab her by the neck and shake her and scream at her to stop treating me like dirt. She didn't even bother to find out the truth—what kind of friend is that?” No matter the attitude of Rachel, Melinda did not bother to communicate with Rachel, which prevented her from learning about what actually happened. If Melinda had spoken, she would have gained necessary emotional help from her friend, and it would have infinitely improved her condition during her freshman year. Melinda did not understand the power of words, until she could not speak. Luckily, after a few negative incidents throughout her freshman year, Melinda finds the courage to speak out and ask others if they can relate to her traumatic occurrence, her rape at the party. She scribbles a note in the bathroom stall, writing, “Guys to Stay Away From”, then proceeded to write Andy Evans name. And though this method was anonymous, it helped her find those that also stayed silent. “There's more. Different pens, different handwriting, conversations between some writers, arrows to longer paragraphs. It's better than taking out a billboard. I feel

The NOVA Episode “Mind of a Rampage Killer” was a very interesting and informing video to watch. It brought up many new ways that scientist are now using to try to pin point mental illness and better ways to help people recover. My opinion on how some of these technologies should be used in the criminal justice system is that they shouldn’t be used without proper guidelines.
Ever wondered if there is a serial killer in your community? The characteristics of a serial killer may shock you or be surprisingly familiar to some of you. It is important for society to get informed about the various types of serial killers that are out there.

It was a quiet night, 9 PM, and no sounds were heard. Detective Josh Bush was just getting ready to leave. His assistant; Carl Lobson, hadn’t showed up all day because he was home sick. He felt uneasy the way Carl’s desk was empty with shadows over it. Josh heard a creak at the door and saw Carl.
“Caleb, how many times do I have to say it. I. AM. READY.” “We will talk about it later. We have to get to the house,” Caleb says, trying to lighten the mood.
Michael Sanders, a Professor at Harvard University, gave a lecture titled “Justice: What’s The Right Thing To Do? The Moral Side of Murder” to nearly a thousand student’s in attendance. The lecture touched on two contrasting philosophies of morality. The first philosophy of morality discussed in the lecture is called Consequentialism. This is the view that "the consequences of one 's conduct are the ultimate basis for any judgment about the rightness or wrongness of that conduct.” (Consequentialism) This type of moral thinking became known as utilitarianism and was formulated by Jeremy Bentham who basically argues that the most moral thing to do is to bring the greatest amount of happiness to the greatest number of people possible.
Jack the Ripper, the Zodiac Killer, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Son of Sam, the BTK Killer. The names and assumed names of these cold-blooded serial killers are forever branded into the cognizance of people everywhere. This is mainly due to the mass media coverage, including newspapers, movies, television specials and books. This media coverage brought to light that these killers were, on the surface, normal, successful, attractive, productive members of society – that is, until the time that their heinous crimes came to be discovered.
