    Paragraph 7 contributes to the ideas in the text by showing that people got violent when others were just trying to make a change for the good. In paragraph 7 sentence 5 the author states, "When the buses reached Anniston, Alabama, an angry mob slashed the tires on one bus and set it aflame." The integrated black and white students were trying to take a stand and make a change. Yes, the people were breaking the law by driving all together, but others did not have to put them in danger for trying to make a change and do something right. This shows that others were breaking the law just as much as the integrated students.…

    Article III of the United States Constitution consists of three sections. In section one, the federal courts are created, which is one Supreme Court. This court is comprised of nine justices, one being the Chief Justice. These judges hold their position for life or until they are impeached by Congress. Section one also states that Congress is given the power to create and remove lower courts. The end of Section one declares that the pay of a judge cannot be lowered while appointed, but it can be raised. Section two goes on to explain the powers of the Supreme Court and what power is placed where. It also tells which cases the federal courts are allowed to rule on. Some federal cases can be heard first by the Supreme Court, but almost all cases start in federal district courts. Most importantly, Section two gives the right to be tried by a jury unless the defendant does not want one. Treason is the focus of Section Three. It is the only crime specifically defined in the Constitution. A person is guilty of treason if he or she “levied War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort”. To be convicted of treason, two witnesses of the same act testify or confession of treason is made. The last part of Section Three gives Congress the power…

    A serial killer could be dining, sitting, or even living next to you at this very moment. Most killers offer little to no obvious clues that will lead anyone to detect their often secretive, undercover actions. I ask myself, “How can we be so naive to these types of people?” Serial killers amongst us are often well educated, portray an All-American image, yet have a psychotic side to them.…

    Jack the Ripper is often referred to as the first “modern” serial killer, as he was prevalent in a time when news coverage was at a high, making him known to most, if not the entirety of Great Britain. Theorizing his identity was also a precursor to the profiling of various other serial killers in the years to come. (Begg & Bennett, 2013)…

These theories include social structure, social class, social process, neutralization, social control and labeling theories. As it is nearly impossible to group all serial killers into any one theory, I will look at the similarities and differences between these theories to find some root concepts that are behind all of them as a whole.…

    Albert Desalvo

    The "Boston Strangler" caused chaos to the city of Boston from June 14th, 1962 until January 4th, 1964 by claiming the lives of thirteen women in grotesque, sexual, murders (History Channel). The feeling of relief and closure for the families of these thirteen victims has not been relinquished due to the lack of evidence to justly convict Albert DeSalvo as the "Boston Strangler." However, the verbal confessions, past convictions, psychological diagnosis, and personal history provide enough evidence to consider DeSalvo as the number one suspect in these deranged killings.…

    Serial Killers

    • 806 Words

    Serial killers have always been a topic I’ve enjoyed. What most people find disturbing I find fascinating. A serial can just be some person who you think is normal but deep down inside they have an emptiness that can only be satisfied through murder and death. Which is why I chose the book dismembered by Susan d Mustafa and sue Israel which is based on Sean Vincent Gillis who is also known as the other Baton Rouge killer. He was responsible for the death of 8 women in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for over a period of 10 years. These women were hunted down bludgeoned and strangled after which he would go on to rape them or engage in necrophilia and mutilate their bodies. An arm here, a leg there, a breast, a tattoo. He was cutting them into pieces.…
