hahha!! and of course cats and reptiles as well! i have to ask, do you have a particular serial killer you are currently studying or one you found most interesting?
I think Bundy is my "favourite" and is what got me interested in the criminal psychology aspect. He's the perfect example of a wolf in sheep's clothing!
I just wrote a paper about BTK for the last course I took as well, and he's another super interesting one to me! How about you?
oooh, bundy is a fascinating one. learning about him was very.. ah i hate saying fun, because obviously there isn’t anything fun about serial murders but it was interesting for sure. i’d have to say i’m most intrigued by jack the ripper mostly because it still remains unsolved and there are quite a few theories! (although not many have any merit) the zodiac is another interesting one, i like the “unsolvable” cases. although i wholeheartedly believe that arthur leigh allen was the zodiac. also, a course? are you planning on going into the criminal justice field or is it just for fun?
Haha, yeah. It's hard to talk about fun and favourites with people who don't get it, because it is such a controversial topic!
I'm right there with you on Jack and Zodiac! I would love to see either solved in my lifetime, similar how GSK was found after so long. I don't think it will happen, but my fingers are crossed! Especially with Zodiac where he left so much evidence and gave so many clues and nothing came out of it. My husband and I believe it's Arthur Leigh Allen as well, and in his mind he counts that as "solved," just not closed, hahaha.
For now it's for fun! Just a hobby and interest that my parents passed on to me at a young age. Though, if given the opportunity, I would jump on the chance to get into the field! And yourself?
it’s very hard to discuss with others for sure. true crime is my special interest, i talk about it all the time (probably too much) so at least the people i’m around regularly know i’m pretty knowledgeable and such.
i also consider the zodiac to be “solved” unfortunately, it’s not officially seen that way. one of my biggest hopes is that the jack the ripper case will be solved in my lifetime. the chances are extremely slim but there is always a possibility!
that’s cool! did/do your parents work in the criminal justice field? or was it a hobby? i am trying to get into the k-9 unit. ideally as a handler for either a bite dog or a criminal & missing persons search dog. ideally i would like to be a profiler for the behavioral analysis unit of the fbi but that is exceptionally difficult to get into. k-9 handling is hard enough. plus, i have autism as well as a handful of other mental health issues so the chances of me actually being allowed into the police academy is slim to none. let alone actually being hired as an officer. i’m determined though!! i’ve taken two forensics courses as well as a psychology and criminology course!
