  • The Danger Of Being Right

    The Danger Of Being Right

    Many years ago, when I was still living and working in the UK, I was asked to make a sales pitch, to a Health and Safety Director concerning some personal safety/self-protection training that they wanted to provide for their employees. It so happened that on the morning I was about to do so, the London papers had just reported on an incident where a WWII veteran had been stabbed to death after refusing to hand over his wallet to two muggers. In the eyes of the Health and Safety Director, as well as the media/general public, the victim had been...

    Social Inclusion & Exclusion And Crime Prevention & Desistance

    Crime, and violent crime, are not statistically common occurrences. This is not to diminish the seriousness of such events and the impact(s) that they can have on a person’s life. There tend to be two types of perpetrators, who engage in violence: persistent offenders who at some level actively look to engage in violence, and those who sometimes find themselves in social situations where they lack the skills, knowledge and/or awareness to prevent a verbal/social conflict from escalating to a physical one. Whilst persistent offenders may be motivated by a variety of factors that vary from the expressive to the...

    Cohasset missing person, Ana Walshe, apparently told Washington DC police in 2014 (by phone), that her partner, Brian Walshe (although he wasn’t specifically named, but was identified as the person she was referring to), had threatened to kill her and a friend. The case was dropped because she failed to cooperate with the investigation, leading to the charges being dropped. In any investigation, involving a missing person this is a significant piece of evidence, because it tells something about the relationship between the couple i.e., there is at the very least a degree of volatility, and high emotion between them....

    The Idaho Student Murders

    The Idaho student murders case, involves the murder of four students (Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Kaylee Gonclaves) – who shared a house, in Moscow, Idaho, with two others (in the affidavit, referred to as D.M., and B.F.) - who attended the University of Idaho. The suspect, at this time, Bryan Kohberger (age 28), is a graduate student at Washington State University, who appears to have been stalking one, or possibly more, of the victims – cellphone records have placed him in close proximity to the victims over a period of weeks leading up to the killings. Whilst,...

  • Virtual Rapes

    Virtual Rapes

    I never had an Atari console, but I remember playing “pong” at a friend’s house, when these “computers” first came out. Our family’s first computer was a BBC Electron with a whopping 16K of memory; enough to load – from a cassette – and play games such as “Chuckie Egg”, the goal of which was to engage in acts of larceny in a henhouse, stealing as many eggs as you can etc. By the time I went off to university, games were still largely played on home computers (the Nintendo came out in 1983, but in my community such items...
