DEXTER vs BREAKING BAD...WHO DOES IT BETTER?

Dexter is a long-running crime/drama/mystery TV series that centers around the life of Dexter Morgan, a blood spatter analyst with the Miami Metro police department. By day, Dexter is a dedicated employee, and is seen to get along with everybody at the station...well, aside from that stewing beef he seems to harbor against Detective Quinn.

What his buddies don't know is that by night, Dexter takes on an entirely new personality as a serial killer, who takes it upon himself to correct the wrongs of people who have violated a moral code taught to him by his late father, Harry. People he believes have escaped justice.

Dexter seems to get better and better at killing, perfecting his dark art, until he runs up against the "ice truck killer", who leaves no blood traces at the crime scene. If you claim any stakes in the world of forensics, then Dexter is a man you will want to know about, trust me.

Breaking Bad is about Walter White, a disillusioned chemistry genius doing a stint as a high school teacher. He is informed that he has stage III cancer, and, deciding he has absolutely nothing to lose (dangerous men with nothing to lose, where have I heard that one before?!), he enlists the help of Jesse Pinkman, a former high school student of his. The two go on to produce the world's most high quality crystal meth.

Walt goes one to become a major player in the drug trade, secretly providing for his wife and son(who has cerebral palsy), all under the nose of his D.E.A. agent brother-in-law, Hank Schrader. How long will Walt survive at this deadly game? Watch and find out.

My 2 cents on the two? Breaking Bad takes the cake!!! Its just a hugely entertaining show where you never know what creek Walt and Jesse are going to be up next. Keep watching, people!!

CRIMINAL PROFILING

Now that more and more youth mitaani and on the streets are turning to crime for escape from the bludgeoning effects of poverty, what measures are taken by the police to understand what makes a person a criminal?

We have all watched cool and interesting sera ( plural ya series, msee!!) such as CSI, Criminal Minds, Bones, but what does real criminal profiling involve?
Criminal profiling is built on the principles of  criminal behaviour, study of mental illness, and an integration of forensic sciences.It is more commonly known as behavioral profiling. So, what makes a criminal a criminal?

Cesaro Lombroso, one of the first criminalists, classified criminals into three major types:

1. Born Criminals: degenerate, primitive, lower evolutionary reversions in terms of physical characteritics lead a person to committing crime.
2. Insane criminals: those who suffered from mental and/or physical illnesses and deficiencies. The resulting state of mind eventually propels these individuals to crime.
3. Criminaloids: criminals whose mental and emotional makeup pre-disposed them to criminal behaviour, under certain conditions...(poverty?)

There is nothing magical about the criminal profiling methodology. People still think of it as more of an art than a science.  In the profiling, there are two methods:

• deductive reasoning, and
• inductive reasoning.

Both of these methods are time-tested and each relies on the other in order for the whole profile to be correct.

CHIMBO SKWADA....GONE MISSING?

Chimbo Skwada is a hiphop group from East Africa that consists of members OP and Funzo. The group have received some limited airplay through various East African radio stations, especially on the Underground hiphop shows.

The group's album, Nyimbo Toka Chimbo Skwada, had some pretty good songs, and the lyrics were well crafted, with quick and witty delivery.

The group is signed under Starr Records, and managed by Kasumuni.

The million dollar question is, where did Chimbo go after dropping Nyimbo? This is clearly the type of music that is both informative and entertaining, and which needs more airplay. The truth is that real hiphoppas are tired of the constant bragging and lack of quality lyrics by today's current crop of artists.
Hiphop deserves better!!

Who knows, Chimbo might just show up and drop another awesome album on us..until then, keep them represented!!
