Criminology is “the scientific approach to studying criminal behavior” (Siegel p.4). To start off‚ it is important to distinguish between criminology and criminal justice.

There have been many genres of film that are included in American film history; one of which is the Western. In the mid 1900’s Western films were at their peak and Saturday afternoons would be spent watching cowboys and Indians battle until the end while watching comfortably from a movie theatre. Knowing this‚ it’s not hard to understand why film makers later on would base plots and characters off of these mystifying films. The Searchers‚ made in 1956 by John Ford‚ was a movie that followed the journey

Will Rogers Not many people remember Will Rogers‚ but in the 1930’s he was the most well known man in America -- more popular than Shirley Temple. He was a simple cowpoke who entertained people with his rope tricks and sly political observations. He also wrote a widely-read newspaper column and appeared on the raido every week.

"Carl Sagan would be pleased.
