For Questions Relating To...
Law enforcement and/or psychology! Figure I might as well get some use out of my fields of knowledge, so I'm opening up the forum for questions!
Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes with cops or the workings in a police station? Curious about law enforcement jobs and what they entail? (with the provision that no confidential info will be given out!) Questions about how the human mind works? Want to know about the motivations behind criminals? Wondering what OCD REALLY means?
Ask away!

{sighs} you're not supposed to ask such general questions!!Marvin D. wrote:What is OCD?
Lol, it'll take a while to answer in such depth, but I'll give you a short version...and it may take me a while to reply to all the questions!
OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder): It is NOT just a label for when someone is super organized or have a weird habit. Definition according to Wikipedia:
So basically, it is where someone has repetitive, obsessive, sometimes awful thoughts/feelings that won't go away until they carry out a certain action, often numerous times, at which point they will feel better and be able to move on...until the thoughts come back, which are often associated with certain situations--hence why people repeat these actions whenever something particular is going on or at certain times of the day. These thoughts are irrational and the actions that accompany are often nonsensical and excessive, and this adds additional frustration to the feeling of worry or panic that is already there.Wikipedia wrote:Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry, by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing anxiety, or by a combination of such thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions).
Example: Someone has an irrational fear that they will become deathly ill due to things not being clean. As a result, they clean constantly, scrub their hands 10 times instead of once, avoid anything their mind holds as unclean--even if it is something that has no unclean properties in and of itself (i.e. avoid certain "dirty" numbers or foods or textures, etc.) I talked to someone, who said they knew someone who had to walk through a doorway like, 10 times before they could feel comfortable walking into the room. So no, not just being perfectionistic or habitual. Make sense?
That's a question you can look in your Bible for the answer for...the world is imperfect...people are imperfect...people want things they can't have, people aren't raised to have self-control or patience, and in extreme cases, people's brains lack inhibitions and empathy that normally limit others' behavior.Marvin D. wrote:Why are there so many criminals?
Depends on what field--generally, it takes determination, guts, flexibility, and lots and lots of perseverance and prayer.Marvin D. wrote:What does it take to work in law enforcmenent?
It's top secret...can't tell!Marvin D. wrote:What's the most top secret thing about that?
Umm...cause it takes the brain a long time to adjust to new information when it's been trained to believe something else. First impressions and assumptions are hard to overcome, cause it means the brain has to work harder...and it doesn't like working harder!Marvin D. wrote: And why do I still think you're a guy?

Um, well, just to clarify...While I've done a police internship and currently work AT a police station...I am not YET a police officer (praying to be hired soon! ), and therefore have never had the opportunity to arrest someone...though I'm doubtful that would ever happen! And no, I have not been tasered...thank goodness!American Eagle wrote:Have you ever been tasered?

Did you realize that you're saying about how old you are if you say that Lisa was a few years younger than you?

You could be a genius I'll be done with grade school by 15, and I could be done with college by 19

You, my friend, need to learn modesty...not everyone is quite as genius as you! I knew someone who started college at 16...finished at 19 I think...crazy. I could have graduated a year early, but I didn't know enough of my future at that time, and didn't want to get ahead of myself and stop being a teenager yet, so I took another year and graduated with everyone else. And I don't regret it It was a good year and gave me time to prepare for college, and get some community college credits under my belt to start me off to full time college.Marvin D. wrote:You could be a genius I'll be done with grade school by 15, and I could be done with college by 19
