...Pullen Maenz English 9 Honors 12/3/2014 John Dillinger John Dillinger was born on June 22, 1903. Throughout his life he committed many dastardly deeds and acts of atrocity. Some believed that the acts against the government were called for. Throughout his life, John Dillinger earned the title “Gangster” by committing crimes, breaking out of jail, and evading government apprehension for his whole life. John grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana. Even during childhood, Dillinger was often in trouble. He quit school and worked at a toy shop. He quickly became bored and started staying out late at night. His dad became worried that the city was not good for his son and sold the house to move to a farm in Mooresville, Indiana. He was arrested for auto theft and given the opportunity to join the navy. He even got in trouble there and soon deserted while his ship was docked in Boston. He returned to Mooresville, married sixteen year old Beryl Hovius, and moved to Indianapolis. (Fischer) To some this would be a lifetime of trouble, but for Dillinger it was only his teenage years. In Indianapolis, Dillinger met Ed Singleton, the local pool shark. Together they attempted to rob a local grocer in Indianapolis but were easily caught. Singleton pled not guilty and was given a...

...Kyle Wright CJA/334 August 13, 2012 Nelly Clotter Conducting Research Police Officers The year was 1870; the idea of collecting crime statistics is discussed between the US Congress and local police executives throughout the year (Investigation, 2006). Their ideas, thoughts, and hurdles overcame them with doubts of funding suck a program. With the overwhelming issues of creating such a program the US Congress and police executives were forced to shut the program down until additional funds and counsel were found. In the early 1920s the ideas of an association gained momentum. “The International Association of Chiefs and Police (IACP) took lead, as it had in many police reforms in the early 20th century” (Investigation, 2006). During this time an advisory group was formed which was head by Director J. Edger Hoover and his technical group to form a criminal statistics program. It was the late 1920s when the gaining momentum of notorious villains like Al Capone, Lester Gillis – AKA “Baby Face” Nelson, Bonnie and Clyde, and John Dillinger that the congressional leaders create such a program to track criminal activities. Using a nationwide barometer to measure crime and track its trends the congressional leaders created its first reports (Investigation, 2006). In August 1930, Volume one, Number one of the Uniform Crime Reports “UCR” were issued by the Bureau of Investigation, the United States Department of Justice (Investigation, 2006). Many crimes tracked by UCR like murder, robbery...

The term “fingerprinting” is used because finger prints, like DNA, vary from person to person and no two people have the same DNA or fingerprints. So, when scientists identify a person’s DNA, it can only be linked back to one individual and can help to obtain information about that specific individual. DNA fingerprinting can be done through many different ways. Some ways are through blood samples from a vein or heel, saliva samples, skin samples, or hair samples. The purpose of DNA fingerprinting is to help link family members together, find things that cause diseases, to help aid in crime scene investigations, and to...

...My community is not the typical town. We do not have racial discriminations, hate crimes or gangs. We don’t have the cultural day parades or blocks of neighborhoods that represent certain racial affiliations. We do not have the daily fights that some neighborhoods go through on a regular basis, striving for equality. Why? My community is overwhelmingly white. A person would have to struggle to find the minorities in my town. Is that a blessing for our community or a setback? While others are learning how to get along with each other, we need to learn how to open the doors and our minds to welcoming others into our community. If you were to drive into the community in which I live, you would think you are driving into a fairytale. The entrance to our town is just like arriving in Mayberry. The streets are lined with old oak trees and the generation old homes are a picture of perfection with their manicured lawns and porch swings. In my hometown people really do sit outside and wave at you as you drive by. Women sit together sipping sweet tea while the men gather in the garage chatting about golf or the tools they have accumulated. People stroll along the sidewalks around town square shopping and chatting at the local coffee shops. Neighborhoods throw block parties, kids play outside with each other and it is true as with any small community, they know everything about everyone. Sounds like a fairytale, I know. Growing up here was a dream. It was the best childhood anyone could...

...The Talent Code – Greatness Isn’t Born. It’s Grown. Here’s How Introduction – The Girl Who Did a Month’s Worth of Practice in Six Minutes: * Media coverage tends to treat each hotbed as a singular phenomenon, but in truth they are all part of a larger and older pattern * Consider the artists of the Italian Renaissance, during which the city of Florence (population 70,000) suddenly produced an explosion of geniuses that has never been seen before * The questions echo – where does this extraordinary talent come from? How does it grow? * Clarissa, part of a study by music psychologists that tracked her progress at the clarinet for several years * Based on her aptitude tests and the testimony of her teacher, parents and her self, she possessed no music gifts * Good musical ear, but her motivation was below average * In the study’s written section, she responded “because I’m supposed to” as her reason for practicing * Nonetheless, she had become famous in music-science circles * Since on an average morning, the camera would capture this average kid doing something un-average, in 5 minutes and 40 seconds, she accelerated her learning speed by 10x and she didn’t even notice * Her music sounded pretty bad, common sense would lead us to believe that Clarissa is failing, but this would be wrong * She has a blueprint in her mind that she’s constantly comparing herself too, she’s not ignoring errors, she’s hearing...

...U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation 2012 The Strategic Information and Operations Center at FBI Headquarters is the 24/7 command post that monitors FBI operations and law enforcement activities around the globe. An FBI agent examines a potentially contaminated letter during a white powder training exercise. 2012 The FBI Story I A Message from FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III For the FBI and its partners, 2012 was a year that reminded us once again of the seriousness of the security threats facing our nation. During the year, extremists plotted to attack—unsuccessfully, thanks to the work of our Joint Terrorism Task Forces—the U.S. Capitol, the New York Federal Reserve Bank, and other landmarks on U.S. soil. Tragically, on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, a hateful attack in Benghazi took the lives of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans. In the cyber realm, a rising tide of hackers took electronic aim at global cyber infrastructure, causing untold damages. High-dollar white-collar crimes of all kinds also continued to siphon significant sums from the pocketbooks of consumers. And in Newtown, Connecticut, 20 young children and six adults lost their lives in one of the worst mass shootings in American history, ending a year of violence that saw similar tragedies around the country. Working with its colleagues around the globe, the FBI is committed to taking a leadership role in protecting the nation. As you can see from...
