An unending sea of chalk
22 January 2010
I thought there was going to be a Battle of the Armchair Criminal Profilers in the criminal psychology course I’m attending this term. The lecturer is aware that I’m a longtime fan of true crime (I’ve been reading about serial killers since 1983) and in the lecture last night, he mentioned a couple of names. Generally, it went like this:
“Anyone besides Andrea know who this is? No? Well, [brief description]… ”
Oh yeah. FTW!
(There’s an interview with Arthur Shawcross on on-demand teevee that I’m refusing to watch — it’s just ghoulish.)
Oh! Oh! And the most interesting person in history outlined in the lecture? Alphonse Bertillon, the French criminologist. Apparently he was the first person to solve a murder using fingerprint identification even though he didn’t like that method!
