The Perfect Crime [Thursday, Period Five]
Rick nodded a greeting to the class as the last student arrived. "Afternoon kids, and congratulations to Parker the one-named woman on winning the TA coin-toss."
"Today we'll be looking at the trinity of crime and detective work," he said, before turning and writing them up on the board. "Means, motive, opportunity."
"Means is the method, the how of a crime," Rick explained, underlining the word. "Was the murder victim stabbed or shot? Was the robbery a brutish armed hold-up, or a skilful cat burglary?"
He circled 'motive'. "Next we have motive. Why was the crime committed? Unless you are dealing with a truly deranged and psychotic individual, there is no such thing as a motiveless crime, a criminal always has a reason."
'Opportunity' got little stars around it. "Opportunity refers is just that, the opportunity to actually commit the crime."
"You work these thing things and you're a good way to solving your mystery," Rick said. "Of course, you need sufficient proof to these to actually prosecute, but that's a discussion for another class. Instead what you're going to do is discuss 'how' knowing any or all of these three factors would help solve a crime. Give examples, and feel free to comment on each other's ideas."
