Crime & Punishment!
Wouldn’t it be great if us humans could possess a power that enabled us to to from one place to another with a zip och a finger? Just like that you could be in the Caribbeans or somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. I think a lot of us would like that power simply to get away once in a while. God knows we need it. But right now, I’m actually not thinking about going some place warm or to go away on vacation. Yesterday, I found this really cool museum in Washington D.C that I wish I could go to. Let me tell you about it;
The national museum of crime & punishment! The museum features departments like American Crime, Punishment; the consequences of crime, Crime fighting, CSI experience, America’s most wanted studio, and Unusual Artifacts. In the History of Crime area you learn about everything from pirates to today’s white collar criminals. What is so great about this museum and why I feel so drawn to it is because you don’t only get to watch, you also get to be active and try stuff. In this place you get to test you Western shooting skills, crack a safe, and try to hack a computer.

In the Punishment area you see a full size police station that shows a police line up, a booking station, a lie-detector test, and a replica jail cell. You will also fin the ultimate instruments of punishments, including an electric chair and lethal injection machines.

In the Crime fighting area you get to see the training, equipment, and technology of law inforcement. Here you get to try a high-speed police chase simulator and an FBI shooing range.

The CSI Experience is where you find yourself in a fully intact crime scene with fresh evidence. You get to begin your investigation, search for evidence, use forensic science techniques such as fingerprinting and DNA testing to solve your crime. You also learn about famous cold cases and crime in the media.

The studio of America’s most wanted looks exactly like the one on TV. Here you get to see how the community is involved in fighting crimes and how that has led to great results with more than 1,000 fugitives captured.
