The Postadolescent Homicidal Triad
We hate to jump on the bandwagon of TRIADS with yet another Homicidal Triad.
There are at least 2 other TRIADS: the MacDonald one, and The Machiavellian Triad of Evil.
But triads are helpful for illustrating basic points and perhaps some personal self-awareness. The MacDonald Triad can help an individual with self-regulation, for gun ownership and such things—items and means that would facilitate turning ideation into action. Investigations, though, need more tangible and obvious indicators that apply in adulthood.
Needless to say, Academia is ill-equipped to deal with violent criminal behavior as it relies on research studies done in controlled situations. We rely on none of that.
We also don't come in hating the subjects being discussed and are not beholden to anyone who could potentially be wholey or partly responsible.
There's no use moralizing either. That's for religion. We can put aside our hatred, and our love for anyone or anything, for the time it takes to study something.
We know that aviation, as an indicator, is not considered for the same reason we don't say, "Going retail", instead of saying "Going postal" when the retail industry has the most workplace murders, according to a USPS Commission.
Elitism.
We put aside any elitist bias if we have any.
