Smells like a riddle. In the book of Genesis, when Cain killed Abel, he killed 1 out of 4 people (Cain, Abel, Adam, and Eve). This is your homework?

Yes, I like your answer, but it uses the present tense "kills". That would make Cain seem out of the question.

No, I disagree. Use of the present tense to indicate something that happened at a past time that you are talking about is a bit arty (frankly it gives me the pip) but not unreasonable. I like Jamesrc's question.
 

1. Who is considered the greatest criminal of all time?

The answer to this question is subjective and can vary depending on personal opinions and interpretations. Some may argue that infamous criminals like Ted Bundy or Al Capone hold this title, while others may make a case for more historical figures like Jack the Ripper or Bonnie and Clyde.

2. What makes a criminal "great"?

Again, this can be a subjective question as the definition of "greatness" can differ from person to person. However, some may consider a criminal to be "great" based on the scale and notoriety of their crimes, their ability to evade capture or conviction, or their impact on society.

3. How do criminals become notorious?

Criminals can become notorious through various means such as committing heinous crimes, gaining media attention, or developing a cult following. Some may also become notorious after their death, as their story and legacy continue to fascinate and captivate the public.

4. Are there any positive aspects to the study of criminals?

While studying criminals is often associated with negative connotations, there can be positive aspects to it. By studying criminals, scientists can gain a better understanding of human behavior, the root causes of criminal behavior, and potentially develop strategies to prevent and reduce crime.

5. Can criminals be rehabilitated?

There is no definitive answer to this question as rehabilitation success rates can vary. Some individuals may be able to change their behavior and reintegrate into society, while others may continue to engage in criminal activities. Factors such as the severity of the crime, personal motivation, and access to resources can also play a role in the success of rehabilitation efforts.
