The “CSI Effect” can be observed when watching television shows such as CSI, Criminal Minds, NCIS, Bones, etc. These shows give the audience what we think is education about Forensic Science but also adds some drama and sexiness to it.

Jack hides behind his face paint, and uses his position as a hunter to validate many of the horrific, barbaric actions that he commits. Police officers are excellent examples of the masks of society, because while behind this mask anybody can fulfill their barbaric, primal needs while being safe from the law, or any punishment that may come his or her way. While people hide behind these masks, they are liberated from rules and laws of society, and are able to commit any sort of action or barbarism that they might want to commit.

Dead Wrong The book Dead Wrong by Peter Stanley is an action packed Crime fiction story that will leave you on the edge of your seat. It is skilfully written and full of suspenseful scenes, mysterious clues and red herrings that will not only fool the clumsy characters in the story but also you.

If you look at serial killers who go on for decades without being caught, they have to have some sort of intelligence to pull that off. I wouldn’t doubt that they are very intelligent people.

Introduction Official crime statistics (OCS) are widely used and commonly accepted by the media and the public since it is published by different enforcement agencies. It is mainly generated by police at different stages in the criminal justice process including arrest, prosecution, conviction, imprisonment, and parole (Jupp, 1989). Therefore, most of us will perceive it as ‘hard facts’. However, it is just part of the truth. As OCS is social construct, different actors involved in constructing the figures to distort the reality of crime.
Once the behavioral profile is done, the profiler can then compare this to other criminals or mental patients with the same basic characteristics. It is generally very difficult to get professional hands-on experience on how to be a profiler. Police have been able to catch a wide array of people using profilers, including serial killers. Once criminals have been taken into custody, profilers can learn even more about the criminal mind and can find possible motives, verify motives, and/or assess the defendant's state of mind. The police psychologist does more hands-on work with officers and victims as opposed to criminals.
Forensic Science Technician Criminal investigations involve a series of actions performed by many people in order to find the culprit of a crime, but one of the most important positions of a criminal investigation team is the forensic science technician. A forensic science technician is the person who tests and analyzes any evidence from a crime scene to figure out who committed the crime. “The most important part of this field is that it is so dynamic and always changing. Also, you are always contributing to society” (Moore). This field offers such a wide variety of studies, so a person earning a degree in forensic science does not have to be a forensic science technician, because there are multifarious branches of forensic science such as forensic nursing and many more.
