Many theories try to explain why some people become serial or mass murderers. However, these theories vary tremendously in terms of the proposed factors that lead to the development of serial and mass murderers. Some theories, for example, emphasize the role of social factors, such as the family. Other theories highlight the importance of psychological factors, such as personality traits, and still other theories focus on the role of biological factors, such as neurological functioning. In isolation, none of these theories provides a definitive explanation for why some people develop into serial or mass murderers. Integrating knowledge from each theory provides for a well-rounded explanation of serial and mass murderers.
Theoretical perspectives not only provide some insight into the causes for the development of serial and mass murderers but also assist criminal profilers in creating a psychological profile of a serial or mass murderer. For instance, suppose a criminal profiler realizes that a serial murderer’s crime scene reveals evidence consistent with the attachment theory. Based on this theory, the criminal profiler would likely point out that the serial murderer had a dysfunctional childhood that was marked with emotional abuse, physical abuse, or both by the parents. Theories of serial and mass murderers therefore allow criminal profilers to predict the characteristics not revealed at the crime scene.

Review Chapter 4 of your course text, Profiling Violent Crimes: An Investigative Tool. Reflect on the theories of serial and mass murderers, and consider how they are similar. In addition, consider how the theories are different from each other, such as whether they focus on factors identifiable at birth, related to personality development, or found in the environment.
Review the book excerpt, “The Making of a Serial Killer.” Consider the various factors identified as potential causes of serial and mass murderers.
Review the article “Serial Murder and the Case of Aileen Wuornos: Attachment Theory, Psychopathy, and Predatory Aggression.” Focus on how attachment theory is different from the other theories, such as psychoanalytic theory and constitutional theories, discussed in Chapter 4 of Profiling Violent Crimes: An Investigative Tool. In addition, consider how theories such as attachment theory may be better suited than other theories to explain female serial murderers.

We have been focusing upon how those at the top of terrorist groups perform leadership roles and influence various audiences (both within their organizations and to the world at large). For this research paper compare and contrast the leadership and communication techniques of former al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden with those of one other terrorist leader. Select one other terrorist leader from al Qaeda or affiliated groups such as Zawahiri, Baghdadi or Awlaki to compare and contrast with bin Laden’s leadership and communication approaches.

Assignment Specifics:

The body of your report is to be at least FOUR FULL pages in length (not counting title page and references) and is to contain the following:
A brief introduction, with the topic and your thesis
A main body, containing the “meat” of the paper, where you provide the requested information supported by class readings and with your analysis
A conclusion, summarizing your information clearly and concisely

This week you are going to be composing the first 1/2 of your paper, the Scientific and Economic Perspectives of Inquiry. In this paper you are trying support the argument that your chosen topic should be considered a public health issue with evidence, not personal opinion. You will need to establish that your social or environmental injustice impacts your population in a significant way. To do that you will discuss both healthcare issues as well as the economic burdens. The content that you include will need to be inline with your research question so make sure that Research question: Would approaching Injustice as a public health issue decrease rates of medical condition for population?Example for decline in honeybee populations: Would approaching the food environment related to the decline in bee populations as a public health issue decrease rates of chronic disease in Americans?Your paper should also follow this outlineScientific and economic perspectives of inquiry (6 page)Establish your topic is a problem (establish link between injustice and medical condition in your population)Medical diagnoses oneDefine the medical conditionHow it effects the bodyHow it does the injustice contribute to the medical diagnosis for your populationMedical diagnoses twoDefine the medical conditionHow it effects the bodyHow it does the injustice contribute to the medical diagnosis for your populationMedical diagnoses threeDefine the medical conditionHow it effects the bodyHow it does the injustice contribute to the medical diagnosis for your populationWhat are the economic issues involved?HealthOther (must be specific to your topic)Formal Writing This is an academic paper which means that there are rules you must follow in your writing style. This type of writing is meticulous and is like a choreographed dance with words on the paper. You must keep your audience in mind. You are writing to a fellow academic and not the general public. Your reader will expect the paper to be written in a scholarly tone. Poor writing is a distraction and will prevent your purpose from being understood and colleagues taking you seriously. I am going to go over these rules and how make your writing sophisticated in the video below. I am also going to show you how to get the page length without adding unnecessary fluff. Another challenge in academic writing is that you are writing something completely unique. You will use information from other sources to make your point and defend your hypothesis. This requires internalization of the material to show command of the topic on the paper. The best way to do this is to use introductory and conclusion sentences at the beginning and ending of paragraphs for smooth transitions and logical sequencing of information.

This SIA assignment requires you apply a concept or theory we have learned to a subject that is current in the ‘real’ world. The assigned topic for Strategy in Action 2 is: Southwest Airlines (SWA)In Chapter 7, we examine and explore a variety of business unit strategies. Included in these discussions are low-cost, differentiation, and low-cost/differentiation. Your assignment (read carefully): Conduct additional research on low-cost, differentiation, and low-cost/differentiation (there is a TON out there on these subjects) to find at least 5 quality sources. This additional research can be from any industry. Using our textbook as well as your own research write at least two pages of analysis and discussion of the low-cost/differentiation (it is a combination of these two) strategy utilized by SWA ~ you can identify the good/bad/successes/blunders in this section. How will this strategy need to be modified due to COVID-19? Next, based on your findings, prepare a one-page recommendation for the board of directors of SWA that includes the discussion and high level implementation plan for at least 3 new initiatives SWA can pursue while maintaining their current strategy of low cost/differentiation. It is appropriate to include COVID-19 specific guidelines. Put these together in one document for a MINIMUM three pages of content (not including reference and title pages). Please follow APA format guidelines. In other words, after writing an analysis of Southwest Airlines (SWA) utilization of a low cost/differentiation strategy including the incorporation of at least 5 references (2+pages), you should be in a position to make recommendations for the board (1+pages). Act as if you are a consultant who has been hired to help the company progress and begin their recovery from the pandemic. What advice or guidance would you offer them based on the information you ascertained during your analysis? Include BOTH qualitative and quantitative support for your recommendations as you link your writing back to the course material as well as your own research. *Remember, this is your ability to show off what you have learned as well as your ability to apply it to a current real world situation.Turnitin Requirements:For each assignment, your similarity score must meet a threshold of no more than 25%.Assignments with greater than 25% similarity must be revised and resubmitted to Turnitin until the 25% threshold is achieved.For resubmissions, it may take up to 24 hours for a new similarity score.It is your responsibility to allow enough time to receive a Turnitin similarity score report.Assignments with more than 25% threshold will receive 2% points off for each 1% above 2%. For example, a score of 28% similarity will receive a 6% penalty.
