In her article for the Daily Vidette Ashley Vasquez probes the question “Why is our society obsessed with serial killers?”
Nick Maroules, a sociology professor who teaches courses in criminology, commented that people have always been interested in these sorts of shocking crimes. “It’s a combination of things. People are driven by fear; they’re afraid of it, they’re shocked and they want to understand it,” Maroules said. “If somebody goes into an office and kills ten people and then kills himself, it seems so out there, so intense, they don’t have any way to explain it, or understand it. It’s somewhat natural for people to be extremely taken by these kinds of things.
“I think there’s just a general fascination with crime in our society but particularly with serial murderers because their behavior falls so outside the norm,” Jeffrey Walsh, criminal justice professor, said. “It’s easy to be intrigued by these extreme and particularly violent individuals in our society. Fortunately, most of us aren’t used to and can’t relate to them, so it draws our attention.” (Vasquez 2010)
No matter if it is fascination or an education in Criminal Justice that has you delving into the world of crime, there are several resources available to our students and patrons that will help:

Thanks for your submission. her comment is here I would also like to say this that the first thing you will need to accomplish is check if you really need credit improvement. her latest blog To do that you need to get your hands on a duplicate of your credit score. That should never be difficult, ever since the government mandates that you are allowed to get one cost-free copy of the credit report each year. her latest blog You just have to check with the right people. You can either look into the website with the Federal Trade Commission or perhaps contact one of the major credit agencies directly. her response
