However, many studies have focused on men, so understanding why women commit crimes has become a severe shortcoming. One theory that tries to explain violence by women proposes and maintains that women's root of criminal violence…

An example of a spree killing could be July 22nd, 2011's incident in Norway when Anders Behring Breivik carried out a series of attacks.

("Oslo Bombings and Utoya Attack") in all, nearly 80 people were killed in the two separate incidents, but
Violent Crimes Criminology Crime analysis and crime investigation are the methods by which criminologists study and prevent crime. Violent crimes pose multiple dangers to the public.
