We will examine the psychological and political forces that affected the commission of individuals who have committed various crimes, including murder, kidnapping, assassination, and acts of terrorism. Through in-depth analyses of these cases we will explore political events, including the Women’s Movement, Civil Rights Movement, Gay Rights Movement, the development of cults and the “The war on terror.”
