Plethora of Criminology Shows

Wanting to address potential ideas encountered when watching television criminology television is a plethora of fanciful ideas intended as entertainment. One issue close to me was while everyone is having sex on television an average woman might have two different partners in one year, while an average man might have six. Anything over these limits is unusually high. However, a larger problem is an inability too understand criminology shows.

Watching a few shows, they are not my favorite. I limit how much unnecessary stress is acceptable in my life. There are fine points in the plot-lines which are accurate and frequently misunderstood. Forensic and mathematical applications to find killers are intriguing, yet it is the psychological shows; wherein, detectives use profiling may cause problems.

A few statistics are in "an Average Distribution." If serial killers are rare, then what are these profilers profiling? They are not looking for serial killer behavior. They are looking for average behavior to find what is known about their normal life. This means finding what makes them like everyone else: occupation, family life, religion, abuse or molestation. Any normal activities they participate in, creates a cross-section to find potential suspects. (Abuse or molestation only applies if the incident was reported to police or hospital.)

Ted Bundy is a famous serial killer from Utah. He was only 43 and killed an estimated 35 women. As a virtual source of hysteria in Salt Lake City, until he was caught, several facts were reported on the news. Two teens avoided abduction, before police produced a usable profile. Apparently, he was subtly drugging women before they went into changing rooms. When they felt sleepy, he would offer to give them a ride home.

Drugged or not a person has to realize a suspicious looking person would attract attention and the abductees would rather call home. Therefore, this person was someone they trusted whether they new them or they dressed in a similar style to the victims; thereby, creating trust.

In the end, the police were baffled over why Bundy put socks on the victim's feet. His wife had cold feet and would wear socks even in the summer. There is no way anyone would know that about his personal life. This is why it is pointless to focus on details not associated to an average person's behavior and quickly accessed in a database.

All these profiled people are similar in this sense. They start off with a large population and find normal qualities. After finding potential occupation and region the profile decreases the number of suspects. When several factors are uncovered the list is low enough police may investigate individuals and attempt to lure the killer into a trap.

Reclusive behavior, music preference, style preference, religion or any other detail related to the actor depicting the serial killer is unsubstantial. All those factors apply to a lot of people and most do not have any criminal intent.

People might wonder why someone with a business degree is explaining this. When people act hysterically it is best to dispense real information; therefore, I investigated it. I enjoy finding out real information, not hearsay, about topics affecting people negatively. Not too mention a great number of business classes were dedicated to identifying skills. Several indicators of personality are portrayed in association to serial killers. Talking to your self indicates an auditory learner. Avoiding large crowds indicates agoraphobia or introversion and so-on.

Anyone reading this article should watch the plot; instead of, focusing on what kind of shirt the killer wore. Frankly, advertisers pay to have characters wear clothing or wardrobe pulls a plain shirt off the hanger and hands it to the actor. Therefore, clothing is the least useful piece of information when watching a reenactment.
