Bryan Kohlberger - Recalling Raskolnikov in "Crime and Punishment"
"The suspect [Bryan Kohberger] arrested in connection with the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho college students once studied how emotions affect why people decide to commit crimes." - Insider, December 30, 2022
In this saga the world could be reaching back to the classic Russian novel "Crime and Punishment."
In it the protagonist Raskolnikov is, like Kohberger, a former student and is interested in abstractions. Rask had a hypothesis that some in society had a right to murder. As law enforcement releases information about Kohberger we may be introduced to more of his own analytical probings.
One interpretation of "Crime and Punishment" is this: Beware of living in your head. Perhaps the leadership in academia should bring that warning to all the students, undergraduate, graduate, and professional. There could be less mental illness on campus. Also maybe fewer acts of violence.
