Murder Vs Aggravated Assault
In this scholarly activity I have researched the murder and aggravated assault data for Oakland and in San Francisco also known as the Bay Area for the last three years. Then I am going to compare it to the rest of the nation. I am going to explain the difference between murder and aggravated assault. I am going to describe a crime that has happened in my area. Finally, I will go over a theory I believe is a possible reason people commit these crimes in my area.
Murder versus Aggravated Assault
A murder is described as the willful killing of one human being by another. An aggravated assault is an unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe bodily injury (Schmallger, 2016).

    Ted Bundy Research Paper

    The topic that I have chosen to cover for my proposal is serial killers. The term “serial killer” was established in the 1970’s by Robert Ressler (former director of an FBI program). He chose “serial” because these types of murders are crimes in series. Murderers become serial killers after three or more victims with quiet periods of time in between the murders. The US holds 76% of the world’s serial killers. According to the latest FBI study in 2007, there are approximately 400 serial killers in the US and 80% of them have emerged since 1950. Statistically, the average serial killer is a white male with a lower to middle-class…

    S+R over "38 who saw the murder..."

    S: This essay is in the form of a New York Times article from March 27, 1964 where an assailant, Winston Moseley; 29, stabbed Catherine “Kitty” Genovese, 28, three times within a thirty-five minute period early one morning. The brutal murder was seen by at least thirty-eight people in a heavily populated neighborhood, yet none of these witnesses called the police until Ms. Genovese had already died around 3:50am. When asked why they didn’t call the police earlier, none of the witnesses could come up with a definitive answer. The most frequent response was; “I didn’t want to get involved.” This case confused police due to the high level of apathy to violence, an attitude that has become more prevalent in American culture as time has passed.…

    The Anatomy of Motive

    But what can possibly be the motivation for people to commit the kind of murder that is usually considered to be a senseless one.
