One of my favorite shows is called Snapped. The show addresses the topic of women who commit crimes of murder.The show has a successful rating and audience who are interested in understanding why many women continue to kill their lovers, friends, or anyone else that makes them upset. I have watched Snapped for years and it seems that each season their continues to be more stories of women who kill. Before this show started, I was unaware of the number of women who killed. The stereotype before this show was that women who killed was a small number and the killing method that women used were poisons instead of brutal murders. The killings on this show range from shootings, hit man plots, and poisoning one spouse with anti-freeze.
The reason that the majority of the women featured on the show killed is because they wanted to collect their spouses insurance policies. In class when we talked about violence we did not address the topic of women who kill. I think this is a topic that I could have given my opinion on since I watch every episode of Snapped and try to understand why women continue to kill.
