Stockholm Syndrome and the Dugard Abduction

Each new detail that emerges in the Jaycee Lee Dugard abduction case is cause for more shock and feelings of horror at what these victims must have experienced. As I type this blog post, police officers are using cadaver dogs to search the Garrido's yard and the adjoining property with the belief that Phillip Garrido may have been responsible for the murders of several prostitutes as well as several unsolved cases of missing children from the 1990s. We also have learned that Jaycee worked ...

Informative Blog That Provides Female Perspectives on Crime

As much as I enjoy expressing my own interest in criminology and forensic psychology through my writing, I also find a great deal of satisfaction from reading the thoughts of others who practice in the field. I am always on the search for new blogs or other publications that offer a fresh perspective. Earlier today, I came across Women in Crime Ink. This website is a blog written by several women who are somehow involved in the criminal field, including attorneys, journalists, police officer

Missing California Girl Found After Eighteen Years

I cannot imagine that anything is more terrifying to a parent than the thought of someone abducting and bringing harm to their child. Each moment must be agonizing, not knowing if your child is in pain or even still alive. You always hear that in kidnapping cases, as with most crimes, the first twenty-hours are crucial. After that time, the perpetrator has had time to travel a great distance from the scene of the abduction and do any horrible acts against the child that he had intended. Every so

Limitless Possibilities By Blog by Alta and her Review On "Compulsion"

Alta Reviews Thriller Novel "Compulsion"
4 stars ****

Where to start? I liked the book, however, I'm not a fan of present tense, it just throws me for some reason, I don't know why. That's not a deficiency of the book, just a personal preference of mine :)

That preference aside, it was a good story. There were twists and turns in the plot. Some I saw coming, others I didn't. There were times I was confident in what I thought would happen, only to doubt myself a few pages later. I love to try to fig

Murder Victim Identified through Her Plastic Surgery

As I have mentioned before on this blog, the field of forensics encompasses many areas of study, from geology to meteorology to engineering. My own interest has primarily been in forensic psychology, which focuses on the study of the mind of an individual and has the purpose of determining the reasons behind a criminal's behavior. I am fascinated by the thought process that leads someone to act in ways that reach far beyond the parameters of acceptable human behavior. Other subfields of foren

A Stockton Police Officer's K9 Story

I recently interviewed Officer Donavan McCoy from the Stockton Police Department and I had one final question for him that I felt deserved a separate posting about his most memorable experience as a K9 Police Officer. He's a wonderful writer and his K9 story reflects this talent.

I've had the incredible opportunity to train my Labrador retriever in narcotic search work with the police K9 officers and trainers in my area. It was one of the most challenging, but rewarding experiences. I observed fi

Interview with Officer Donavan McCoy of the Stockton Police Department

Police officers are great characters to develop in any crime fiction story. I have enjoyed creating these types of characters and conducting background research with various law enforcement agencies to add depth and realism to the storyline.

What makes a great police officer? Who are these men and women that want to protect the rest of us? What does it take to become a law enforcement officer?

I decided to find out from an experienced police officer that candidly answered some of these questions
