September 10th Homework

My topic consists of criminal's minds and what makes the criminal act in a violent way. I want to reflect back to the brain activity or the thrill the criminal get's when they murder/ hurt someone. In order to find these books I searched the GIL-Find Beta with the topic "Criminal Minds" and found two books that fit my search. My first book, Analyzing Criminal Minds and the second Inside the Criminal Mind. Both books share a similarity, they dig down deeper into why the criminal does the foolish acts. I chose these two books in the search because they were the only one's not checked out or via-Internet copy. Plus the pictures on the label looked very interesting! The first book lead more to realistic stories pertaining to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, also refereed to CSI crime scene show. As you can tell I don't really watch TV that much but I do know within the CSI shows and law and order the scenes are overdramatic. There is no way you can find the suspect of DNA on a crime scene within 30 minutes. Sorry, of topic but the first book wasn't helpful at all.  The second book gave me information on the criminal mind from the day they were born. I read a chapter where it says criminals either never have jobs or put on a front at work to commit crime underneath the employers nose. Also, in school a criminal child rejects school at a young age, seeing the school as a play ground for crime. The child will find ways to end up in trouble at every given time they spend there. I like that my second choice of a source shows reality played in criminal minds. The GIL-Find Beta came in good work finding the book I needed!
