Very interesting. -

fish,bundy,gacy,gein,manson.............. -
Ah, forensic psychology!
Some of my peers have gone into that field, but found it wasn't all Silence of the Lambs. They spend their days collecting data by interviewing prisoners, and when a prisoner jumps over the table and attacks them, they can't hit the bugger - instead they have to wait for the guard to come in and deal with it.
Anyway, here's one:
This is a question that's been used to study serial killers:
Ann attends her aunt's funeral and meets a handsome and charming man who she takes a real fancy to. A few weeks later she murders her sister. Why did she do it?
Answer to come later.

To side track a little, the movie "Saw" that is currently showing in the cinemas features a "serial killer" who doesn't do the actual killing but rather ingeniously devises plans such that another person is used to kill the victim or gets the victim to kill himself/herself.Originally posted by DeadPoet:Ah... we have another one here!

Albeit only a movie, I think it has some interesting points that can be useful in the field of criminal profiling.
By the way, I felt that it was quite a good movie. You might want to catch it some day. -
Whoops, looks like I'm behind the times here! Good thing forensics isn't my specialist field, or this could be embarassing!Originally posted by DeadPoet:Heehee I think most of us here know the answer to this question thanks to TV. -

QUICK! QUICK!! ANALYSE ME!!! " -
Personally? My first thought would be a hope that whoever is in the car is OK - I've been in a few bingles myself and safety's a big issue to me. My second thought would be, "How the hell did that happen?", but that's because I've done research work in accident analysis before.Originally posted by ratinacage:yes,too many of us knows the answer to this one.
