Student Issues

School violence and shootings have increased significantly over the last decade. Assume you are a law enforcement professional. You have been asked to prepare a presentation in order to train your community on mass and spree killings.

Your audience includes schools, city councils, churches, and any other community based organization.

Using the materials presented in the preceding modules and external resources, develop a PowerPoint presentation discussing what you believe to be the most accurate predictor of school violence.

Describe, in detail, your rationale for selecting your indicators.

Three Symptoms

For several years, "The MacDonald Triad", named after the forensic psychiatric, JM MacDonald, was used as a predictive tool when examining the common traits of serial killers. The three traits primarily found in these suspects were:

Cruelty to animals

Obsession with fire

Bed wetting past the age of 5.

In this assignment, you will examine "The MacDoanld Triad" study and its conclusions. Using at least FOUR external sources, you will discuss strengths and weakness of the study.

Be sure to address the impact it has had on various criminal investigations. Is this a reliable tool to use when profiling these offenders? Are there better indicator(s) of violent, criminal behavior?
