Crime stories show us the part of people's lives they try to keep hidden.

Television is full of fictional and real violence that's turned into entertainment. It's an interesting phenomena and I tried to put it in perspective and tried to think through a few of the real questions that this sometimes unseemly business raises.

A chart of numbers that would put an actuary to sleep can be made to dance if you put it on one side of a card and Bombo Rivera's picture on the other.

It's easy for people to grow up in our society believing that certain lifestyles are risk free when they certainly are not.

Any of us are capable of doing things we're not proud of under the wrong kind of stresses.

I try to take large, general questions that are difficult to resolve and break them down into small, very specific questions that have clear answers.

Do people really believe there's something different about the eyes of murderers?
