In this writing, we will focus on the offenders and the victims to better understand how and why this may have happened. Please do the following, citing specific examples from the boo:
1. Using theories of crime that you learned, give your best assessment of which theory best explains this murder (i.e. which theory is the most plausible for this specific murder). Use the evidence, the testimony, the facts, and explain to me which theory best fits and why.
2. While we are not blaming the victims for their deaths, please spend a few moments on the victimology in this case. Evaluate and assess as many decisions of Brian and David that led to their eventual deaths. What did they do or say, where did they go or not go, how did they get there, etc? See if you can determine their roles in the events that transpired and what decisions, large and small, could have prevented this specific murder from occurring.
3. Briefly assess the role of deterrence in this crime. Why was it not present? (think of all the factors of the night of the murder and who participated).
