Strategics and Plans

I am going to research 5 different case studies and view what type of crimes are committed, who they are committed by, when, and where.  Every single one of these aspects that I am going to look into, are all aspects of what an impact society has had on violent crimes.  I am going to use case studies dating back to 2010 - current date and comparing it with statistics from the early  2000's.  Also I would like to take a look at the states the crimes were committed in and what they're social status is like, economy, etc... I hope to find a downgrade or maybe a solution to why these crimes are being committed where, when and why.

Experimenting with Violent Crimes

For the next few blogs I will be focusing on experimenting in society with violent crimes.  Using the method of looking at case studies I will see how violent crimes have progressed or digressed over years.  I will also look at the type of people committing crimes and the type of crimes being committed.  I feel as though case studies will allow me to really see how prevalent violent crimes used to be and are now in our society and how society may have impacted these outcomes.

Loyola Raping

Being a 17 year old in an all girl catholic high school seems like a pretty safe scenario.  For most of us we will be going off to college next year and living on our own.  For many IHA girls Loyola University is a top choice.  But i'm sure many of you did not hear about the Loyola University raping.  Colin Kennedy is an 18 year old from Laguna Beach, California seemingly to be a normal college freshman at Loyola University.  But in fact he was charged with raping two freshman girls after they let him sleep in their dorm.  Kennedy had asked if he could sleep in their room because he could not get into his dorm.  The girls were familiar with the boy and allowed him to sleepover.  Loyola is known to be a very safe university and the girls just thought they were helping out a friend.  For those of you who are going off to college this year or the next this article would be very beneficial to brush up on. Sexual assault is a violent crime and can traumatize someone for the rest of their life.  IHA girls are very intelligent and have a mind of their own.  This is a very practical situation that could have caught anyone off guard.  Hopefully after reading this, we will all take a step back and realize that this could have been one of us.   

Introduction

In the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Violent crimes are defined in the UCR Program as those offenses which involve force or threat of force.  I am so intrigued with violent crimes because I wonder how much society has on the impact of a criminal and the type of crime they commit.
