Throughout Andrei Chikatilo's childhood and early adult life may have been the reason why this man became such a vicious killer. Chikatilo had an awful childhood since day one. When analyzing Chikatilo one must start at his birth. He was born with water on his brain Chikatilo like any teenage boy felt a desire for girls, because he was so insecure and shy he probably felt more comfortable with younger girls. At an early age Chikatilo felt power over younger girls between age eight and age sixteen. When Chikatilo could not get an erection it caused him anger and frustration. When looking at Chikatilo's childhood, you would have to assume that he was traumatized and a product of all the horrible events in his later years. Going through these events alone would make anyone a psychopath.
Andrei Chikatilo was a very bad person. He would kidnap, attack, castrated (boys/men) and bite/slice off sexual organs (women/girls).

There was a rumor saying there were werewolves attacking people until he Andrei started telling everyone about his killings and the damage he had done. Beginning of 1988 Andrei continues to kill people in a different location called "Rostov". Chikatilo started
Each year, the FBI provides research on law enforcement officers that have been killed or assaulted; many people know this as LEOKA. The goal of this data is to provide people with information through the UCR (uniform crime report) about law enforcement officers who have been feloniously and accidently killed, and also officers who have been assaulted in the line of duty. The uniform crime report presents this information through overviews and statistics about each of the victims, where they come from (the state they resided in), and also when and how they were killed. Throughout the years this has become an effective way to research and learn about this topic and understand why it is important to know about. Throughout this paper I am going to find patterns through different regions and states in the United States under all three of the topics LEOKA focuses on and find similarities and

Abraham lives is West Point and was born April 24th 1998 to Mr.Keita and Manifing Kamre during Liberia’s brutal civil war. Abraham's dad died when Abraham was five years old while working for a driver. What blows my mind is he started fighting for child abuse at age nine. He wanted to be like his dad and still does today, and he knows his dad would be really proud of him, as well as his mom who is a great supporter to him - now his dad is his inspiration to help and protect kids. He got furious when someone shot an innocent fifteen year old kid for no reason in town while taking part in one of Abraham's peaceful protests, also when a thirteen year old girl was sexually abused and murdered by her foster

The atomic bomb also posed many social implications directly after the bombing. The health effects of hibashukas would separate them from the rest of society, and these health effects would be what posed barriers between them and the rest of Japanese society. Because they were so weak and were largely viewed as unable to contribute to society, the rest of Japan resented the hibashukas (Hersey 1946). They were given less prestigious jobs and were forced to work closely with American and allied forces, which caused them to garner the hatred of the rest of Japanese society. In addition to the social ostracization of a minority, the atomic bomb also resulted in the mass devastation of social and government infrastructure. All forms of transportation,
Flakka is the drug that originated from Florida, not only in Florida but signs of drugs use have been found in Ohio and Texas. Flakka, which gets its name from Spanish slang for a thin beautiful woman ("la flaca"), contains a chemical that is a close cousin to MDPV, a key ingredient in "bath salts. “Since September 2014, hospitals, doctors, police, and fire rescue crews in Florida have seen patients with symptoms and signs that include bizarre behavior, agitation, paranoia, and delusions of superhuman strength. The man-made drug causes a high similar to cocaine. But like "bath salts," a group of related synthetic drugs that were banned in 2012, flakka has the potential to be much more dangerous than cocaine.
