tv review

Big crimes, small screen; true crime television series and TV documentaries that recreate and reexamine some of the mystifying and grisliest cases in history.

NIGHT OF HELL, THE HUNT OF THE DEVIL
The criminal mentioned today is a prime example of the brutality in the character of some Korean men. Because his girlfriend saw a fly on his chest, he shot and killed her. Not stopping there, he also implicated many innocent people in the surrounding area, successively massacring several villages, causing 97 casualties, including 55 deaths.

Trump's Iran retreat sparks market rally...
In what is becoming as predictable as a Marvel sequel, U.S. President Donald Trump stared down Iran, rattled his sabre dramatically... and then quietly put it back in the drawer.

The Psychology of Criminal Behaviour
Crime has existed throughout human history, evolving alongside society itself. While laws, punishments, and social systems attempt to control it, understanding why individuals commit crimes remains one of the most important questions in modern society.

By examining the psychology of criminal behaviour, we gain valuable insights into prevention, rehabilitation, and justice.
