interview with Shatikqua Jones

Q1: What is your definition of homicide?


A1- Shatikqua: When a human being dies not from natural causes but dies from another human being or animal.


Q2: Why do you think people commit homicides?


A2-Shatikqua: Because they are at the top and they're depressed and they probably talked about doing it they 're whole life and finally did it thats why you have to watch out for people like that.


Q3:What do you think be going through the killer head while they're doing it?


A3-Shatikqua: They are probably thinking why am I doing this or they just might not care they're probably thinking that they're doing the right thing it depends on why they got killed because sometimes it's an accident.


Q4:What do you think drives them in to that crazy stage of commmiting the murder?


A4- Shatikqua: People picking on them or trying to boss them around or alot of the times because they feel they're in control and when they're not that when they go to kill.


Q5:Why do you think people commit suicide?


A5- Shatikqua: They feel they're not loved and no one cares about them and they think theres no point of them living because they're no good to anyone life.


Q6: Do you think a killer can be changed?


A6- Shatikqua: Yes if they meet the almighty GOD!!!


Q7: What do you think should happen to the killer? Do they deserve capital punishment?


A7- Shatikqua: I think they should serve life behind bars. No because they're not getting punished they're just getting killed like they're victums and it's not exactly proving why they shouldn't kill because they're getting killed. They need to know what they did was wrong.


I agree with shatikqua with her definition of homicide. The answer she gave for Q2 was kind of what I would say but it's more to it. All murderer's don't think about killing they're whole life some do but not all. In my opinion I think it's because they want to feel like they're superior and that their in power and sometimes it's often an accident but some people try to cover it up because they feel as though know one would believ it's an accident. For question number four I also agree because if you read up on what psychologists says on it, it's alot similar to what Ms. Jones said when they feel they're not in power or they're being disrespectful they snap and don't think about it twice. For question number five I agree all the way suicide victums feel that they're not needed, loved or cared for/about. For question number six I disagree I think if a person kills someone purposely than they will kill again because if they feel thas what they have to do than they will do it over and over again. And I think they should think abouot what they did for the rest of they're life and rot in prison for it. Because capital punishment is letting them off easy.
