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?

Grey’s Anatomy

Recently word ‘Anatomy’ had become popular to the public after the word being used in several television programs and dramas such as Grey’s Anatomy and Anatomy of Crime.

We believed some of you know the meaning of anatomy only after watching this type of drama like us except to those who work in the medical field.

From what we learnt, anatomy has a bigger field. It is a branch of biology and medicine that is the considering of structure of living.

From the Merriam-Webster.com, it said Anatomy:

  1. a branch of morphology that deals with the structure of organisms
  2. a treatise on anatomical science or art
  3. the art of separating the parts of an organism in order to ascertain their position, relations, structure, and function : dissection
  4. obsolete : a body dissected or to be dissected
  5. structural makeup especially of an organism or any of its parts
  6. a separating or dividing into parts for detailed examination : analysis
  7. a (1) : skeleton (2) : mummy, b : the human body

    8. Despite all the definition, we only want to touch one side of anatomy – anatomy in crime. Can we say like this; we want to discuss on how to detect criminal activities and evidence on human bodies.

One of books in the market about Criminalistics

Criminalist and Criminalistics, these two words had given long journey for few days. The journey begins when I was assigned by the team to find the meaning of these two words.

Initially, I think it is simple task. Open dictionary and rewrite it. But it did not happened as what I expected.

It is not because I could not find what I or team want. It is because I could not find anything. Again I mention, I could not find anything.

The idea to discover the meaning about criminalist and criminalistics occurred after we discovered several books used that name and curiosity raise in ourselves about those words.

First dictionary I open was Macmillandictionary.com and it stated no result for both words. Then I open Oxford and only Criminalistics registered in it but very short:

“another term for FORENSICS.”

Writing about Sherlock Holmes in the Crime Circle just after launching of the blog had brought me to realise, there are a lot of people affected by the genius of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s masterpiece.

There are people who wish to be like Holmes since their childhood including me. Therefore, I launch this special project which I called Behind Sherlock Holmes.

What I dig in this project is not how to copycat his style because it easy and his detective kit can be buying at the Amazon.com. What I looking for is studying his skill and the impact to the real world.

Before me going further, I love to find answer to this question: “Does Sherlock Holmes the first’s forensic scientist or criminalist?”
