A Long Hiatus

With all the daily hassles and keeping up with the Joneses,blogging has somehow been a daunting task. Moving along, I've just finished reading a book on "Cannibals and Evil Cult Killers". This book authored by Ray Black, an investigative journalist who specializes in police cases, crimes and criminals. An interesting book that delves into heinous crimes and cannibalism that dates back as early as 300AD. Lately, with many news of thefts, burglary and all sorts of crime activities, Criminology has been the flavor of my quarter. What causes criminal behavior? What sort of profile matches a person who would most likely commit crimes and at the same time, what criteria fits that a person be a victim of crime? As tough for a person to commit a crime, it's not that simple either to be a victim. Also, I'm interested in the biological part of criminals, are they hot wired somewhere in their genes or a neurological dysfunction that leads them to commit crime(s)? Such as the case of Jeffrey Dahmner whose hernia operation as a child somehow led to a disasterous development of his personality. Many, many interesting questions and I hope to keep it updated on this blog in the next few weeks on this topic and how the person on the street can keep a watchful eye on potential threats and what can be done to avoid them. Till then, stay safe.
