Copycat Crimes: We see so many of the same crimes each day/week. Does that make them copycat crimes?

There was a time when the crimes we see today were not so prevalent years ago. Now, it is all the time. In the 50's and 60's, how often did you read about someone going into a school or fast food place and just start shooting? When did you read that a person drove into a crowd and killed nine people? Now, it is all the time. It makes me feel that these are copycat crimes. Do they do it for attention or some other reason?

Certainly some see or read about something and they get the idea to solve some problem they think they have by doing the same. Sad world!

Some people are so desperate for attention. Look at Hollywood.

@MsBooklover It seems that some can only get attention by committing evil deeds.

@1hopefulman Look at singers today....they cannot sing unless they have most of their clothes off.

I don't think it is for attention when it is terrorism. That is about control.
