Compare And Contrast Tungkol And Holmes
 Rizzoli did autopsy testing on the corpses of the victims, but Holmes did not have any type of technology to do tests on bodies. An autopsy is the examination of a dead body of a dead person and determines how they were killed. In addition, blood samples and DNA samples are taken for testing. Unfortunately, Holmes was unable to do this.
 Rizzoli tried using violence while interrogating suspects as opposed to Holmes who was calm and collected while talking to potential suspects.
 Unlike Holmes, Rizzoli does not make minute examinations of the crime scene or anything related to the crime.
 Like other crime TV shows, Rizzoli also has a medical examiner (Isles) that looks at the bodies

Similarities:
 They use forensic evidence from the crime. Holmes uses evidence such as the footprint of a hound while Rizzoli uses the evidence of a stun gun mark on a body.
 Both detectives use reason and deduction from clues. For example, Holmes uses clues from Dr. Mortimer’s stick to infer that he is a country practitioner, had a spaniel, and was friendly with clients.

In “See One, Do One, Teach One,” Rizzoli looks at the man posed on the couch with his throat precisely slit. This crime was similar to a previous crime she solved. She uses her prior knowledge and remembers that a criminal (“The Surgeon”) also did the same thing to his victims. Rizzoli recalls releasing the information about the other crime to the public except for one thing: the fact that the victim had a stun gun mark on his body. As a result, she inferred that The Surgeon was training another person to do the same crimes. In addition, in The Hound of the Baskervilles, Holmes knew that Watson had found his retreat. This is because as Holmes was within twenty paces of the door, he saw a stub of a cigarette marked Bradley, Oxford Street. Holmes recollected that Watson’s tobacconist labeled his cigarettes in the same manner. Therefore, he came to the conclusion that Watson was

    So after Ms. Sullivan’s death, she becomes the 11th victim of Albert DeSalvo, also known as the Boston Strangler, and the case goes cold for years. The crazy thing is that the DNA sample taken was from DeSalvo’s nephew! Yes, you read that right! The beauty of DNA which I have to say, can cost a lot of money and requires expertise. I mean, some cases need exhumations, like in this case, so those type of testings have to be pricey! The National Institute of Justice has a funding program which helps in the examination of “cold cases” all around the states, this program is called: Solving Cold Cases with DNA Program.…

    Crime scene investigators oversee a myriad of complex crime scenes such as armed robberies, home invasions, homicides, sexual assaults, and other property crimes. The CSI created a crime scene perimeter before investigating. CSI is responsible for collecting, documenting, securing, and properly storing all of the evidence found at a crime scene. Processing a crime scene can be a tedious process that takes several hours, and CSIs must pay careful attention to every detail to avoid overlooking critical evidence. The entire scene can and will be photographed, either by the CSI, as the evidence is collected. CSIs must follow strict protocols for collecting trace evidence such as hair, fibers, glass, paint, or dirt in order to maintain integrity of the chain of evidence. They record each item that found, including its location and any other pertinent information, and catalog and seal the item for transportation to the lab.…

    Although homicide and robbery share a lot of ethical consideration they also have different elements for the investigator to follow to obtain a successful investigation and prosecution. The elements of an unlawful homicide is called the corpus delicti which is the basic facts collected establishing that a crime has been committed and someone is responsible for that crime. In order for the judge to hand the case over or for the prosecutor to obtain an indictment each element the investigator must provide evidence for each element of the corpus delicti. There are two elements for unlawful homicide which are; ruling out suicide, natural causes, and accident, by establishing it was a homicide and there is a person responsible for the homicide. This must be obtained and in the knowledge of the investigator, evidence technician, and criminalists. To obtain a successful investigation the investigator must be knowledgeable of the important procedures in a criminal investigation such as recording the crime scene, collecting and handling all physical evidence properly to be preserved for future reference (Criminal Justice, Homicide Ch 16).…

    When Holmes killed, he had all the time and privacy needed to dissect his victims and remove their organs. Contrarily, the Ripper had to murder in an alley, because he had nowhere private to kill which resulted in him working fast to prevent getting caught. Even though the Ripper’s job was messy, it was extremely precise. Tom Michael announced that when the Ripper murders were happening it was stated that the killer must have had some knowledge of the human body; it was even suggested that the murderer was a doctor. Coincidentally, Holmes had been a doctor for years at the time of the Ripper murders. The fact that there were people at the time saying the Ripper had anatomical knowledge just adds one more connection between Holmes and the…

    The famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is known for his keen observation skills and logical thinking that has outsmarted criminal masterminds. His ability to conclude a theory from reason and logic is impressive; however, “It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts" (Scandal, 3). For his cases, Holmes gathers up data and information in any way he can, one being the art of disguise. The use of disguises play a significant part in crime solving because they allow Holmes to conceal his identity so he can gather information and ultimately deceive society.…

    He realized that the woman was walking in the rain with her collar up because it was damp and that she was carrying a small suitcase due to the splashed mud on her ankles and none of the other detectives and officers on the scene noticed these details. Another example, in the show is when Sherlock is to pick between a pill that will kill him slowly and alone or by getting shot brutally in the front of the head with a black handgun by, the cabbie, the taxi driver. Sherlock chose to be shot in the front of the head by the cabbie in cold blood because he is so hyper-specific and has such extreme perception. That he knows that the black gun isn't really a real gun with bullets but only an imitation toy version made to look like the real thing. He states, “I've seen a lot of guns in my day and I know a fake one when I see one” (Sherlock). This is proving Grandin’s theory regarding the characteristics of hyper specificity and extreme perception, as well as, showing that Sherlock is a splitter. He particularized the characteristics of a fake versus a real gun and noticed the small details that a normal person would not have noticed, but that a person with some characteristics of autism would have. A lumper would have just seen a gun and would have freaked out and wouldn't have been able to see the difference between a fake and a real…

    The Boston Strangler

    DeSalvo’s testimonies, though highly accurate, held many clear flaws. According to Susan Kelly, the author of The Boston Stranglers, "the newspapers were an excellent source of information - and it's very interesting to me that the details that Albert got wrong in his confession were identical to the details that the newspapers got wrong." DeSalvo may have just retold exactly what he had read in the newspapers or heard from someone else because of his photographic memory. DeSalvo also stated that he had visited the crime scenes after the crimes when the police were there, so he could have based his answers off of his own observations of the crime scenes (Unsolved). Though DeSalvo’s answers in questioning were highly detailed and accurate, the questioning was not done as it should have been. The answers to the questions were almost implied, and if DeSalvo’s answer was not correct, he was prompted into giving the right answer (Unsolved). In addition to his faulty questioning, the physical evidence also raised some doubt. When Mary Sullivan’s body was examined after being exhumed, two different DNA samples were found. Tests confirmed that one of the samples did not belong to DeSalvo, meaning that two men were involved with Mary Sullivan shortly before her death, and that more than one person may have also been involved in her murder. So even if DeSalvo did…

    As Helen Stoner sits before him for her consultation he is observing everything and proves this by asking her if she took the train that morning. As she is shocked by his accurate theory Sherlock Holmes responds with, “I observe the second half of a return ticket in the palm of your left glove,” giving his client a glimpse of his observation process (Doyle, The Adventure of the Speckled Band 1). She goes on to explain her own theory of how she believes her sister has died of pure fear. However, Holmes is not quite satisfied with these results because she forgets to speak about her stepfather, “’he is a hard man,’ she said, ‘and perhaps he hardly knows his own strength,” as he notices her wrist displays an imprint of a hand (Doyle, The Adventure of the Speckled Band 5). In “The Blanched Soldier,” Sherlock demonstrates the same observation method as Mr. James Dodd sits before him for the interview. He begins to take some guesses about where Dodd is from by saying, “from South Africa, sir, I perceive,” “Imperial Yeomanry, I fancy,” “Middlesex Corps, no doubt,” all were accurate, giving James the same shock as Helen Stoner (Doyle, The Blanched Soldier 1). James did most of the investigation himself before meeting with Sherlock, while he trusted his every word he listened carefully…

    Sherlock Holmes took his bottle from the corner of the mantel-piece and his hypodermic syringe from its neat morocco case. With his long, white, nervous fingers he adjusted the delicate needle, and rolled back his left shirt-cuff. For some little time his eyes rested thoughtfully upon the sinewy forearm and wrist all dotted and scarred with innumerable puncture-marks. Finally he thrust the sharp point home, pressed down the tiny piston, and sank back into the velvet-lined arm-chair with a long sigh of satisfaction…

    What Is Real Crime

    The big question now is what is real and what is not. The reality is far different than the television shows. Most real crime scene investigators do not like the shows and will tell you that they don 't find relevant forensic evidence at the scenes. Problems with this is that victims automatically think of the show and wonder why investigators can not find evidence. One problem with the show and real life is that the impression it has on the jury pool. Juries today expect to hear about the forensic evidence found during a trial and hear about the crime scene. This has happened so much that now the District Attorney has had to make a point of telling the jury that forensic evidence is not always found and that crimes are not solved within an…

    Inspector Clouseau and Sherlock Holmes are two inspectors/detectives who solve mysteries, but don’t use the same tactics to get to the bottom of the mystery. Inspector Clouseau makes his plans more extreme and uses his imagination to his advantage. On the other hand, Sherlock Holmes makes his decisions after lots of thinking and has to have common sense behind his decisions. A great example of Sherlock Holmes is that he was trying to find the face of “Mr. Stapleton” so he put a piece of paper on the bottom of hugo's face to find if they are the same person. Inspector Clouseau…
