Blame it on Mom
While fascinated with all aspects of forensic psychology, I have long held a particular interest in the pathology of serial killers. Readers of this blog will find quite a few posts that address specific characteristics of such criminals, such as their handwriting, their demographic profile, and the way in which they choose their victims. There is no doubt that the acts these men and women (mostly men) commit are horrific, and this seeming lack of regard for any sense of decency and humanity ...

Book Review of "Compulsion" By Bengal Book Reviews
Bengal Book ReviewsReviews By Samantha Kellenberger
Review:
Chase has really outdone herself with the first in a series of cop thrillers. Compulsion is nothing but the quintessential page-turner that every reader hopes for when they first open a new book. Comparable to the likes of Lawrence Sanders' Deadly Sins series, Compulsion and the books to follow are sure to generate a loyal following. The main character, Emily, is smart, cunning, full of piss and vinegar along with a boatload of girl...

Gun Rights Advocates Win Victory in Supreme Court
Which of these two popular statements more closely defines your opinion on the use of guns?
"Guns don't kill people; people kill people."
"Guns belong only in the hands of the police and the military, not with private citizens."
The text of the Second Amendment , which was ratified as part of the Constitution in 1791, reads as follows:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Do Most of the World's Serial Killers Really Live in America?
In a recent post , I questioned the reason that the crime dramas we watch on television mostly take place in Los Angeles and New York City, with Miami and Chicago getting nods every now and again. Is there an assumption among viewers that crime only takes place in these big cities, or that violence that occurs in other parts of the country don't matter?
Along those same lines, I came across a statistic of which I was already aware but that I had not given much thought recently—a FBI Behavioral...

Does Crime Only Happen in New York City?
While the original Law and Order has come to an end after many years of maintaining great storylines and a loyal fan base, a new show in the Law and Order franchise is getting ready to enter our living rooms. This time, the detectives and attorneys will be investigating and prosecuting crimes that take place in Los Angeles.
I am a fan of many of the crime-solving shows that have dominated the television landscape for the past decade, so I am curious about how the format and backdrop for such ...

Interview With A New Mystery Author
I have met a wonderful new mystery author that I had the pleasure to chat with recently.
Jennifer Chase: Welcome Joyce. Please tell us a little bit about your background.
Joyce Oroz: At the tender age of twelve, I was painting in oils and writing poems while normal children socialized with each other. I was a female nerd full of pre-teen feelings of inferiority. A bazillion years later, after raising a family, working at my commercial art/mural business and taking creative writing classes on t...
