The suspects seemed to know the exact location of the victim’s safe and what the safe contained. The fact that the suspects intended to use the victim’s truck to carry their bodies further supports a personal relationship between the suspect and victim. Rural areas tend to have very close-knitted communities because of the smaller population. The suspects supposedly having a relationship with the victims and the intention to carry the husband and wife’s body with their truck can support that this crime was voluntary and planned beforehand. Based on the case facts given, I deduce that the suspects could be the victim’s children or their children’s friends due to the seemingly apparent knowledge of the victims the suspect possessed.

The CNN documentary “Homicide in Hollenbeck” centered around crime in the Hollenbeck neighborhood of Los Angeles. The documentary focused on the LAPD and the challenges and experiences they face in controlling crime in Hollenbeck. As the title suggests, the documentary focuses on violent crime, specifically homicide, and the causes of crime. The documentary implemented multiple perspectives and different points of view to paint a complete picture of the issues they were covering, such as from police officers, former gang members, family members, and a priest. Although there are many theories that could explain the crime shown, in my opinion, Sutherland’s Differential Association Theory of crime best accounts for the examples of deviance depicted in the
