(James; MacKay; Sirnick, 2003) the families of children those are victims of subdural hemorrhages are subjected to intense examination by the social welfare agencies. (Blumenthal, 2002) the maintenance of these children entails much dependence on the medical system, caretakers and the society as a whole
The baby named Alex who was only 5 weeks old, died in October 2000; within 18 months of being shaken. (Burke, 2004) According to Caffey, the pathogenic whip-lash shaking is being effected to in several means, under varied environments, by various types of persons and for different causes
The parental ambitions of the children not consistent with the growth of them are considered to be the major critical elements. (Folmer; McCabe, 2003) According to Chiocca, the elementary cause of the parents having impractical expectations is the lack of awareness on developmentally suitable behaviors
The Shaken Child Syndrome gives rise to an acute magnitude of death and illness. (James; MacKay; Sirnick, 2003) Every year it is estimated that about 2,086,000 children are susceptible to the child abuse or negligence
The less severe but chronic shaking of infants may cause in the long run deficiencies with regard to attentiveness, and impairment of learning capabilities. (Showers, 1992) Some of the damages caused by shaking include subdural, retinal or subarachnoid hemorrhages
He could indicate the severe subdural and subarachnoid hemorrhage, retinal hemorrhages and periosteal new bone formation at the metaphsysial regions of long bones by introducing the terminology Whiplash Shaken Infant Syndrome in 1974. (Smith, 2003) Caffey attempted to narrate the characteristics of six babies of below 13 months old suffering from subdural haematomas and 'bone lesions of battering'
The enhancement in the rate of understanding and response to child abuse have attracted more attention on the intensity of the harm occurred as a result of the forceful shaking of the infants previously ignored for consideration as a type of physical abuse. (Spaide; Swengel; Scharre; Mein, 1990) The infants are susceptible to severe injury when shaken
Prior to Caffey, Hess in his book 'Scurvy, Past and Present' detailed on many peculiar symptoms of scurvy associating many forms of hemorrhages that may take place in any organ and differ from small petechiae to very extensive extravasations. (Scheibner, 2001) it was a British neurosurgeon- Guthkelch who first narrated subdural haemorrhage in infants as a consequence of shaking
Why are all these crimes perpetrated? It is because of the large number of opportunities that are present within this type of set up that these crimes are carried out with ease, even though the perpetrators are very well aware of the fact that, if caught, the penalties would be extremely severe: they could be imprisoned or disqualified from their jobs, and in some cases, even disbarred from their chosen profession. (Corporate Crime Studies) Sometimes, Corporate Crime is defined as the crimes that are committed by the corporation in the areas of environmental damage that causes loss of life or limb to the employees of the corporation and to any others who have been involved in its workings

The prosecuting of identity thieves has proven difficult. Although there has been a rapid increase in the number of statutes addressing the situation on both the state and federal level, the nature of the crime, the anonymous aspect of it, and the time parameters make apprehension and prosecution quite difficult (Pastrikos, 2004)

The Los Angeles Riots after the Rodney King verdict would be a macro example. Both of those crimes were caused at least in part by sociological factors but the scope of each is entirely different (Collins, 2013)
In the end, they state that the relationship between age and committed crimes is something that can indeed be quantified and made tangible but that crime is due in large part, but not entirely, based on some parallel changes that occur during adolescence and the associated developmental changes. If a teen can be reined in and his/her dysfunction corrected and their life focused on better things, then the outcomes tend to be much better the majority of the time (Sweeten, Piquero & Steinberg, 2013)
Once the suspect has been apprehended, this model of "behavior reflects personality" still goes on and the investigators will still want to check the trend in the baseline behavior to see whether the person harbors personality of guilty knowledge.

They are self-centered, don't care about other's feelings and are remorseless. They also pose as completely normal people to the unsuspecting targets yet these are the characteristics that Gacy had (Encyclopedia of mental Disorders, 2012)
physical evidence Over the years the physical evidence has been used in reconstruction of crime scenes and in the process trying to understand the behavior pattern of the criminal. This reconstructions are aimed at understanding the trend in the behavior of the criminal and putting together any prior crime patterns that had the same trend, and in the process understanding the behavior of the criminal (Jerry Chisun W & Brent E. Turvey, 2000)
One of the most common signature aspects is the calling card, or tattooing of the dead bodies, use of excessive force, leaving notes behind and many more. These are not necessary in killing of victims but are a sign of claiming the crime (John E. Douglas, 2011)
Crime scene indicators is another strong aspect in crime classification and will include the number of crime scenes, the environment, place and the time, the number of offenders, organized or disorganized crime. These are the pertinent components of crime classification (John Douglas & Ann Burgess, 2006)
Gacy awaited the execution of the sentence for years, giving the prosecutors different and conflicting testimonies in order to stay alive. In 1994, Gacy faced death penalty through lethal injection (Bell & Bardsley, n
