oney, material, or just arguments that there should be
             no excuse for the murderer. I believe in the worst case scenario, violence should only be
             used in return of something of the same nature, an eye for an eye sort of thing.
             Katz also states that many murders occur when humiliation is internally
             transformed into rage. He seems to believe that a person is almost "temporary insane"
             when they are enraged. If a person turns to murder when they become enraged, then they
             should be taken off the streets and not sympathized for. He also found that over sixty-five
             percent of homicides occur on the weekend, and explains that this is true because working
             class people go through the entire week sometimes so stressful and waiting for inner
             peace. They hope to find this after the work week at home or away with the family. If
             they can't find peace then, they feel that they never will and flip out.
             In some on his crime situations I think he is trying to back up his "self righteous"
             theory too well. The first is a father who kills his five week old infant because it would
             not stop crying. The second is a man who catches his wife cheating and shoots the man,
             after having previous suspicions and she had mentioned divorce; he was not even charged
             with the murder. I don't understand how in this time that man could not have been
             charged, let alone seem to receive support from sociologists.
             In Katz's next chapter, he describes accounts of vandalism, joyriding, drug users,
             and mostly shoplifting. He calls these non-violent crimes "sneaky thrills". He details some
             great analogies and metaphors to these crimes such as sex, religion, and sports. My
             favorite is the analogy of sports to shoplifting. This idea is very creative yet also very
             logical. Time in a dressing room could be considered as time outs, the "getaway" or
             esc...
