Book Synopsis Crimes of the 90s by : Marcus Edward Bond
Download or read book Crimes of the 90s written by Marcus Edward Bond and published by Marcus Edward Bond. This book was released on 2024-03-24 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1990s saw a range of notable crimes that captured public attention and left a lasting impact on society. From high-profile murders to acts of domestic terrorism, the decade was marked by a variety of criminal incidents that reflected the complexities of the era. One of the most infamous crimes of the 1990s was the O.J. Simpson murder trial, which captivated the nation and sparked widespread debate about race, celebrity, and the criminal justice system. The trial, which centered around the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, became a cultural phenomenon and highlighted issues of domestic violence and media sensationalism. Another significant event was the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, carried out by domestic terrorists Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. The bombing, which targeted the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, resulted in the deaths of 168 people and remains one of the deadliest acts of domestic terrorism in U.S. history. Other notable crimes of the 1990s included the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, the Unabomber attacks carried out by Theodore Kaczynski, and the Heaven's Gate mass suicide in 1997. These incidents, along with numerous others, contributed to a sense of unease and uncertainty during the decade and prompted discussions about issues such as terrorism, mental illness, and the role of the media in shaping public perception. Overall, the crimes of the 1990s serve as a reminder of the complexities of the era and the challenges faced by society in addressing issues of crime, violence, and social justice. They continue to be studied and discussed as part of our collective understanding of the recent past and its impact on the present day.
Book Synopsis Serial Killers True Crime by : Daniel Brand
Download or read book Serial Killers True Crime written by Daniel Brand and published by Tru Nobilis Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1990s was a time of great technological and social change in America, but it was also a time when monsters stalked the highways and byways of the country as well as, for the first time, the information super highway. If you love true tales of horror more chilling than anything the imagination can conceive then Serial Killers True Crime:13 Serial Killer Murder Stories of the 90s is the book you have been waiting for. Inside you will find a full graphic account of the exploits of monstrous individuals such as: Harvey Miguel Robinson has the dubious honor of being one of the youngest serial killers in American history, being just 18 when he was arrested for the crimes he had committed. Robinson killed two women and a teenager, in addition to trying to kill a child and the woman that would ultimately lead to his capture. Robinson's murder spree was the inspiration for the movie No One Could Protect Her starring Joanna Kerns as intended victim Denise Sam-Cali. Charles Edmund Cullen is a former nurse and the most prolific serial killer in the history of the East Coast, if not in all of American. He has confessed to killing more than 40 people during his time as a nurse, and subsequent interviews have indicated that the actual number could be far, far, greater as he cannot remember names but can remember specifics of the events. All told, experts believe he may have killed as many as 400 people. Keith Hunter Jesperson killed at least 8 women during the early 90s and earned the moniker the Happy Face Killer from the smiley faces that he always included on his letters to the authorities as well as to the media. He typically targeted prostitutes as well as transients with no apparent rhyme or reason for the killings. He primarily killed his victims via strangulation, in much the same way he killed animals as a child. There was a movie made about his killing spree Happy Face Killer which premiered in 2014. David Parker Ray, more commonly known as the Toy-Box Killer, is believed to have kidnapped, tortured and murdered more than 60 people near the New Mexico, Arizona border over several decades. Ray would keep his victims in a trailer known as his toy-box which was exceedingly well equipped for all manner of sexual torture and murder. He was convicted of torture and kidnapping in 2001 and died incarcerated the very next year before he had a chance to confess to the full nature of his crimes. Inside you will learn all about the horrible life and times of Jeffery Lionel Dahmer Scott William Cox Keith Hunter Jesperson Orville Lynn Majors Cleophus Price Jur.

Book Synopsis The Great American Crime Decline by : Franklin E. Zimring
Download or read book The Great American Crime Decline written by Franklin E. Zimring and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-11-05 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many theories--from the routine to the bizarre--have been offered up to explain the crime decline of the 1990s. Was it record levels of imprisonment? An abatement of the crack cocaine epidemic? More police using better tactics? Or even the effects of legalized abortion? And what can we expect from crime rates in the future? Franklin E. Zimring here takes on the experts, and counters with the first in-depth portrait of the decline and its true significance. The major lesson from the 1990s is that relatively superficial changes in the character of urban life can be associated with up to 75% drops in the crime rate. Crime can drop even if there is no major change in the population, the economy or the schools. Offering the most reliable data available, Zimring documents the decline as the longest and largest since World War II. It ranges across both violent and non-violent offenses, all regions, and every demographic. All Americans, whether they live in cities or suburbs, whether rich or poor, are safer today. Casting a critical and unerring eye on current explanations, this book demonstrates that both long-standing theories of crime prevention and recently generated theories fall far short of explaining the 1990s drop. A careful study of Canadian crime trends reveals that imprisonment and economic factors may not have played the role in the U.S. crime drop that many have suggested. There was no magic bullet but instead a combination of factors working in concert rather than a single cause that produced the decline. Further--and happily for future progress, it is clear that declines in the crime rate do not require fundamental social or structural changes. Smaller shifts in policy can make large differences. The significant reductions in crime rates, especially in New York, where crime dropped twice the national average, suggests that there is room for other cities to repeat this astounding success. In this definitive look at the great American crime decline, Franklin E. Zimring finds no pat answers but evidence that even lower crime rates might be in store.

Book Synopsis Ghosts from the Nursery by : Robin Karr-Morse
Download or read book Ghosts from the Nursery written by Robin Karr-Morse and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “ominous and persuasive” study of when violence starts in child development—and the preventive measures to stop it (The New York Times Book Review). This new, revised edition incorporates significant advances in neurobiological research and includes a new introduction by Dr. Vincent J. Felitti, a leading researcher in the field. When Ghosts from the Nursery: Tracing the Roots of Violence was first published, it was lauded for providing scientific evidence that violence can originate in the womb and become entrenched in a child’s brain by preschool. The authors’ groundbreaking conclusions became even more relevant following the wave of school shootings across the nation including the tragedies at Columbine High School, Sandy Hook Elementary School, and shocking subsequent shootings. Following each of these, media coverage and public debate turned yet again to the usual suspects concerning the causes of violence: widespread availability of guns and lack of mental health services for late-stage treatment. Discussion of the impact of trauma on human life—especially early in life during chemical and structural formation of the brain—is missing from the equation. Karr-Morse and Wiley continue to shift the conversation among parents and policy makers toward more fundamental preventative measures against violence. “Karr-Morse and Wiley boldly raise some tough issues . . . [They] start with a grim question—why are children violent?—and they forge a passionate and cogent argument for focusing our collective energies on infancy and parenthood to stop the cycle of ruined lives.” —The Seattle Times

Book Synopsis New York Murder Mystery by : Andrew Karmen
Download or read book New York Murder Mystery written by Andrew Karmen and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2006-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Karmen tracks a quarter century of murder in the city Americans have most commonly associated with rampant street crime. Providing both a local and a national context for New York's plunging crime rate, Karmen tests and debunks the many self-serving explanations for the decline. While crediting a more effective police force for its efforts, Karmen also emphasizes the decline of the crack epidemic, skyrocketing incarceration rates, favorable demographic trends, a healthy economy, an influx of hard working and law abiding immigrants, a rise in college enrollment, and an unexpected outbreak of improved behavior by young men growing up in poverty stricken neighborhoods. New York Murder Mystery is the most authoritative study to date of why crime rates rise and fall.
Book Synopsis Generation Multiplex by : Timothy Shary
Download or read book Generation Multiplex written by Timothy Shary and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2009-01-27 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When teenagers began hanging out at the mall in the early 1980s, the movies followed. Multiplex theaters offered teens a wide array of perspectives on the coming-of-age experience, as well as an escape into the alternative worlds of science fiction and horror. Youth films remained a popular and profitable genre through the 1990s, offering teens a place to reflect on their evolving identities from adolescence to adulthood while simultaneously shaping and maintaining those identities. Drawing examples from hundreds of popular and lesser-known youth-themed films, Timothy Shary here offers a comprehensive examination of the representation of teenagers in American cinema in the 1980s and 1990s. He focuses on five subgenres—school, delinquency, horror, science, and romance/sexuality—to explore how they represent teens and their concerns, how these representations change over time, and how youth movies both mirror and shape societal expectations and fears about teen identities and roles. He concludes that while some teen films continue to exploit various notions of youth sexuality and violence, most teen films of the past generation have shown an increasing diversity of adolescent experiences and have been sympathetic to the particular challenges that teens face.

Book Synopsis The Michigan Murders by : Edward Keyes
Download or read book The Michigan Murders written by Edward Keyes and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar Award Finalist: The true story of a serial killer who terrorized a midwestern town in the era of free love—by the coauthor of The French Connection. In 1967, during the time of peace, free love, and hitchhiking, nineteen-year-old Mary Terese Fleszar was last seen alive walking home to her apartment in Ypsilanti, Michigan. One month later, her naked body—stabbed over thirty times and missing both feet and a forearm—was discovered, partially buried, on an abandoned farm. A year later, the body of twenty-year-old Joan Schell was found, similarly violated. Southeastern Michigan was terrorized by something it had never experienced before: a serial killer. Over the next two years, five more bodies were uncovered around Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan. All the victims were tortured and mutilated. All were female students. After multiple failed investigations, a chance sighting finally led to a suspect. On the surface, John Norman Collins was an all-American boy—a fraternity member studying elementary education at Eastern Michigan University. But Collins wasn’t all that he seemed. His female friends described him as aggressive and short tempered. And in August 1970, Collins, the “Ypsilanti Ripper,” was arrested, found guilty, and sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole. Written by the coauthor of The French Connection, The Michigan Murders delivers a harrowing depiction of the savage murders that tormented a small midwestern town.

Book Synopsis Think for Yourself by : Vikram Mansharamani
Download or read book Think for Yourself written by Vikram Mansharamani and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We've outsourced too much of our thinking. How do we get it back? Have you ever followed your GPS device to a deserted parking lot? Or unquestioningly followed the advice of an expert—perhaps a doctor or financial adviser—only to learn later that your own thoughts and doubts were correct? And what about the stories we've all heard over the years about sick patients—whether infected with Ebola or COVID-19—who were sent home or allowed to travel because busy staff people were following a protocol to the letter rather than using common sense? Why and how do these kinds of things happen? As Harvard lecturer and global trend watcher Vikram Mansharamani shows in this eye-opening and perspective-shifting book, our complex, data-flooded world has made us ever more reliant on experts, protocols, and technology. Too often, we've stopped thinking for ourselves. With stark and compelling examples drawn from business, sports, and everyday life, Mansharamani illustrates how in a very real sense we have outsourced our thinking to a troubling degree, relinquishing our autonomy. Of course, experts, protocols, and computer-based systems are essential to helping us make informed decisions. What we need is a new approach for integrating these information sources more effectively, harnessing the value they provide without undermining our ability to think for ourselves. The author provides principles and techniques for doing just that, empowering readers with a more critical and nuanced approach to making decisions. Think for Yourself is an indispensable guide for those looking to restore self-reliant thinking in a data-driven and technology-dependent yet overwhelmingly uncertain world.
