How To Commit The Perfect Crime
Wichita Sedgwick County Crime Stoppers

Our generationloves crime shows. "NCIS", "CSI", "Forensic Files", "How To Get Away With Murder", "Making A Murderer" fascinate us. These shows have taught us a lot. Here are15 steps in order to commit the perfect crime:

1.) Have a plan.

Get in and get out as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

2.) Always wear gloves OR don't touch anything.

You'll leave fingerprints and DNA.

3.) Don't leave a paper trail.

The police will follow the money.

4.) Destroy all evidence.

Get rid of all of it.

5.) Make sure to do a sweep right before you leave to make sure that you didn't leave anything behind.

Make sure that there isn't anything left behind that can place you at the scene.

6.) Don't talk to the police without a lawyer.

Know your Miranda Rights.

7.) Beware of security cameras.

These cameras will place you somewhere and track your movements.

8.) Be random with your target.

The police will be able to link you more easily if you know your target(s).

9.) Don't be distinct.

Be as average looking as possible.

10.) Wear shoes that aren't your actual size.

Forensic science can calculate your height and weight based off of your shoes

11.) Destroy the clothes that you were wearing during your perfect crime.

Fibers and DNA can stay on clothing and it can be seen on cameras that can be used to identify you.

12.) Don't be an idiot.

Think.

13.) Don't use your car unless completely necessary.

Cars are so identifiable.

14.) Always have an alibi.

Put yourself somewhere else.

15.) Lastly and most importantly, don't commit crimes!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
