No, I do not believe that someone such as John Wayne Gacy who went and cruised for his victims on the streets of Chicago would be able to get away with murdering as many people as he did back in the 70's. I did my paper on Gacy and had learned about about how he would lure his victims to his house and the way he would eventually kill them. Although he was able to fool many individuals I still do not believe he would be able to fool the advancements that have surfaced from science and technology. We currently live in a world where everything is filmed or being recorded if not by a stranger than by a camera on the street. Technology itself has advanced to the point that if you do not have basic computer skills you would most likely not even

Most people think the world is just technology and some people are always doing something bad. Jack Gantos was a prisoner in 1972 at the federal correctional institution in Ashland, Kentucky.

When you first think of a serial killer or you think of a psychopath you realize that they both have something in common even though they have different words to describe similar characteristics of a “monster”. John Wayne Gacy had an abusive childhood and struggled with his sexuality at a very young age, which these factors helped him become the person he did.

In the 1980s, John Wayne Gacy admitted to “running a cemetery without a license.” This “cemetery” was in a crawl space inside of

On Friday, December 22, 1978, Gacy finally confessed to police that he killed at least thirty people and buried most of the remains of the victims beneath the crawl space of his house. According to the book Killer Clown: The John Wayne Gacy Murders by Sullivan and Maiken, Gacy said that, "his first killing took place in January, 1972, and the second in January, 1974, about a year and a half after his marriage." He further confessed that he would lure his victims into being handcuffed and then he would sexually assault them. To muffle the screams of his victims, he would stuff a sock or underwear into their mouths and kill them by pulling a rope or board against their throats, as he raped them. Gacy admitted to sometimes keeping the dead bodies under his bed or in the attic for several hours before eventually burying them in the crawl space.

Criminology is the scientific study of the nature, extent, cause, and control of criminal behavior (Siegel 4). Criminology is not just understanding criminal actions but also studying how to correct and prevent crime, overall. There are five major Criminological theories, (1) Classical Theory, (2) Positivist Theory, (3) Marxist / Conflict Theory, (4) Sociological Theory, and (5) Multifactor / Integrated Theory.

Gary Leon Ridgway was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and after a string of killings that extended roughly 20 years he was dubbed, by local police, as the Green River Killer. He had admitted to killing over 90 prostitutes and had “lost count because it was so many”. Despite his IQ of 82, he had this serial killing down to a science and evaded police for quite sometime before a DNA test eventually convicted him of a murder and tied him to the whole string of murders that he had committed over the past decade. One has to ask themselves, “What makes a person such a monster?”, in this paper I will attempt to explain what may or may not have contributed to these horrific murders. However it is important to keep in mind that these are theories and

In the 1970s, a prolific serial killer named John Wayne Gacy gained notoriety for being the “Killer Clown”. Gacy raped and killed 33 young boys and men in Chicago. He would bury the victims’ in a crawl space he dug or throw them into the Des Plaines River when the crawl space ran out of the room. He pled not guilty by reason of insanity and claimed he lost count of how many victims he buried in the crawl space. Even though he was well known in the community for his active involvement in volunteer work and performing at events dressed up as “Pogo the Clown”, he was still found guilty of all 33 murders and sentenced to death. The main reason the judge and jury didn’t agree to his plea of insanity is because of his

Equally important, after he started murdering kids in 1992, the killings continued without anyone suspecting a thing. Luis became very skilled at getting victims to come with him. He went to the very impoverish parts of the city, where the male victims were most at risk. In the city of Bogota where he capture and kill a total of eleven victims had problems with a high homicide rate for males. A lot of the poor boys were under education, and lack social skills to find stable work. “Echandia and Rubio found that in Bogota census tracts with a larger proportion of males in their population and with higher illiteracy and school dropout levels also presented higher homicide rates, suggesting a potential effect of disadvantage on violent crime,”

Grumpy: A mob bank. I guess the Joker is as crazy as they say. Where's the alarm guy?

Heath Ledger underwent self-deception when he took on the role of the Joker in the movie The Dark Knight. Ledger used method acting when he emotionally identified himself with the role of The Joker. This is a form of self-deception explained by Fingarette. Although this occurrence is supported by Fingarette’s theory, there are various alternative explanations that have the possibility of having influenced Ledger’s psychological change in identity. Alternative justifications include Ledger using the identity of the Joker as a defense mechanism, or on account of his substance abuse as well as the possibility of Ledger’s passionate investment in the work being mistaken for self-deception.

“Well, this man is known to be a criminal. He had the all the wealth, he was a glutton for money, but for some reason he went crazy and began to steal stuff.
