Analysis Paper

For this post, we were asked to discuss potential sources for the final analysis paper. I was pleased to have the opportunity to use a post for this, because I want to make sure my potential sources will work for my analysis paper. In addition, I believe this post could almost be compared to an outline for the paper, which always helps to get a reader organized.

Source One:
http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/index.html

When i first used the google blog search i typed "serial killers" and was the first thing that popped up. Since then, it has proven to be my number source for almost every single one of my posts on my blog. It has wonderful facts, quotes, and pictures for almost anything to do with serial killers and criminal justice in general. provides detailed background information of each serial killer which is important for my blog. I now know this is a valid source that will be beneficial, not only for this class but future classes. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if is a blog or not? I'd love some feedback on if i could use this in my analysis paper or not. 

Source two:
women serial killers blog

This blog is located on blogger and is exactly the same topic as my blog. Like me, the author of this blog is a student majoring in criminal justice. I enjoyed this blog most because of all the similarities between us authors. We kept the same outline for our blog by added a picture of each female serial killer we discussed in each post. The majority of our blog posts were the same female serial killer and that was interesting to compare. Sadly, this blog doesn't have a ton of analysis in each post it's more just the stories repeated. Although one piece of analysis i was able to spot was that the author pointed out the recurring problem that many people don't suspect females of such crimes. This is a piece of analysis I to have discussed in at least one of my posts. I believe this would be a great source for my analysis paper since it's the closest comparison to my blog.


Source 3:
diary of a serial killer

This blog is another one that i found on blogger. Although, the author has only written in it a few times i enjoyed reading them all. In one of my blog posts i talked about toxicology reports, which still involved my topic, but wasn't like my typical posts. This blog relates to that post it doesn't talk about each individual serial killer like my typical posts. It goes a little deeper by discussing genes, pychological aspects, and more about serial killers. This information is vital in understanding the whole story of why each serial killer did what they did. I enjoyed reading all the information this blog provided and would consider it being one of my potential sources.

Overall, I believe I have some great blogs picked out for my analysis paper. Sadly, it's hard to find a blog about serial killers online. I'm happy i found ones that discuss my topic and were helpful. Not only did each one provide useful information, but they also had a works cited which really confirms that it's a reliable source. Currently I am still looking for other blogs that fit my community that i could possibly use for my paper.
