...police have more of a handle on things. They state simply, with the criminologist's eye for psychology, that the boys killed to see how it felt. Here we have an entirely inward explanation, severed from the world at large as well as from the victims. In some sense this explanation is convincing as one female teenager from Franklin made clear on ABC: "That's something that not very many people in the world know what it feels like. They probably just wanted to know, see if they could get away with it, I guess...
...alone, and in addition to any co-conspirators, there are probably friends, family members and neighbors with knowledge or suspicions that could help the investigation. "Even the accused Unabomber had family members who suspected him, and he was living alone in a shack in Montana," says Damon Camp, a criminologist at Georgia State University. At the same time, since the blast occurred in a densely occupied park filled with camera-toting tourists, the FBI is convinced that someone has a picture or video likeness of the bomber or bombers packed away with their Olympic souvenirs...
...what they say is almost impossible. Is E!, on the other hand, affording viewers easy laughs? Certainly. Each day the fake O.J.

If they also have easy access to guns and drugs, they...
...that Bratton is responsible for any of New York's crime drop. "It's like trying to take credit for an eclipse," says former New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. Others are watching Bratton with mouths agape. "I've never seen anything like it," says University of Maryland criminologist Lawrence Sherman, who has studied 30 police departments in the past 25 years. "Police chiefs routinely say, 'Don't expect us to bring down crime, because we don't control its causes. But Bratton says just the opposite. It's the most focused crime-reduction effort I've seen...
