Crime Scene Investigation

Crime had become one of the most interested and fascinating topic among the public nowadays. The subject not just conquer tabloid newspaper front page like what they did in the past few decades to increase the sales but also influence television audiences.

Crime Scene Investigation, NCIS, 24, Criminal Minds, Shields and Rookie Blue are among the TV Series that managed to grab the audiences’ attention. These TV Series not just present how the crime commit but also presented the technologies and skills to catch criminals.

The attentions show a good sign that public become more aware about crime. They start to know what deoxyribonucleic acid is or known as DNA, they aware about firearm identification, finger-prints and they alert about serology (scientific study of blood serum and other bodily fluids).

But yet, the improvement is not enough.

Lodge a Report When Friend Borrow Your Car

You will never know what will happen to your car

Lodge a report when friend borrows your car. Yup, lodge a police report when you give your car key to your friend for borrowing your car.

This might be sound crazy.

Most of people including my friends shocked when I advised this to them. They seemly heard that I accused their friend for stealing their cars but I did not say that. I did not used word steal, rob or other words that have similar meaning. I said for borrowing.

This morning, when I sent my fiancée, I heard a radio DJ gives the same advice to his audience who lent his car to his friend for two days. But after more than a week his friend still did not return it back.

The same reaction gives by the audience. The audience said he manage to contact his friend and the borrower want few days more before he can return it. But yet, the Radio DJ still advice him to lodge a police report and that is a good advice.

The question is why? Why should anyone lodge a police report for lent his or her car to their friends?

The Red-Headed League

“The Red-Headed League” first appeared in a popular British magazine, the Strand, in August of 1891. It was republished in 1892, along with eleven other Sherlock Holmes stories, in the collection The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Its style and structure make it a nearly perfect example of the modern detective story, first devised by Edgar Allan Poe fifty years previously.

Doyle’s ingenious plots and captivating central characters, Holmes and his sidekick Watson, brought the author literary success in his own time. Further, the Sherlock Holmes stories provided later writers with models for their own work. The existence of today’s popular detective tales, whether in the form of books, movies, or television shows, are in large part due to Doyle’s influence.

Criminology For Dummies

One think I love about dummies is they give you basic information about topic they want to discuss and this is suitable for those who just recently open their heart and mind to know about crime and Criminology for Dummies is the answer.

Why Criminology for Dummies?

First thing I realised about this book is the author, Steven Briggs use simple language and avoid terminologies that can confuse you especially law term or sentences that can make some of you lost.

Secondly, this book moves step by step from chapter to chapter. It teaches you to understand about crime and then followed by surface information about other crime topics.

Third, it touches nearly all aspect in crime from measuring crime, identifying it to fighting crime and punishment. Also include in this topic is the about my favourite subject, criminal profiling.

What lack in Criminology for Dummies?

The weakness about this book is the author only touch about the surface of all topics and no specialization. This is the cost the author have to pay when he want to mention about all topic.

Secondly, this book only suitable for the beginners and crime investigation movies’ fan and not for those who want to make crime investigation field as their career. I can suggest other book such as Essential Criminology which act more like textbook rather than Criminology For Dummies.

When I become Criminals?

Anyone can become criminals

Anybody can become criminals if they do not alert changes in law. Whatever you do today might become illegal tomorrow.

I had discussed about it earlier in the previous post. I also had mention to you before; you can only become criminal if you are being caught.

Never mind let me remind you again before I go further in the journey to understand crime. Crime changes from time to time based on the insecure and uncontrollable such as drugs.

Drugs were legal in 19 centuries but people could not control the side effect of drugs. Then it falls in illegal. Same goes to abortion, yet until today, the law did not standardise to decide abortion illegal or not. The law keep changes and different from other states and countries.

But there are some rules if you break, you will not fall under criminals. Why? You only become criminals if you being lock up. In other words, crime is something you can lock up for.

To understand further, you need to understand there are two categories of criminal activity – acts that inherently bad and acts aren’t bad but need to be regulated.

Whatever you do legally today might become illegal in the future. Believe it or not, this was fact and history had proved it.

But why? The changes occurred only after people realise what they did yesterday had become dangerous today and the impact is unacceptable.

But how? The changes in crime done after the society or authority changed or upgrade or improve their rules, popularly known as law. That is why term amendment occurs in law and each law have their years.

Believe it or not?

What they said about Crime?

‘What is Crime’ wrote by Stuart Henry and Mark M Lanier

Most of the experts, blogs and books did not touch the basic about crime. They directly went for specialization such as crime prevention, violent crime, forensic science and criminal profiling.

The specialization is good but ignore the basic information and assume public know what crime is had brought the basic question into a ‘confuse valley.’

I put here three basic questions for you to think. I will give the answer later. The questions are:

  • What is crime?
  • What make someone criminals?
  • What measurement used to decide whether he or she had commit crime?

Only few books touch about these questions. Among the books are ‘Criminology for Dummies’ written by Steven Briggs, ‘What is Crime: Controversies over the Nature of Crime and What to Do about it’ and Essential Criminology by Stuart Henry and Mark M. Lanier.

Question and more questions

Have you ever ask yourself some of these questions:

What is crime? What make someone become criminals? What is the first crime committed and who did it? What is the history of crime? How people differentiate crime and not crime? What influence them when deciding the law? What influence the criminals? Are there any paranormal activities involved? What is the trigger? How crimes become one of the most popular topic to discuss but one of the most unwanted memories? How he did it? What is the Modus Operandi? Does he or she insane? How police caught the criminals? How they do the profiling? Do I have split personality? What make Crime Scene popular? What is DNA? Are they watching me? Does my surrounding area is safe?

There are a lot of questions can be raise when we discussed about crime. There are a lot of 5W and 1H (What, Where, When, Why, Who, How) need to answer and one of my friends and loyal reader of www.crimecircle.com always put some of those questions in his mouth.

Some of us might reply with this answer: Why should I know the answer or why should I care?
