Here in the UK, when the police DON'T KNOW who committed a murder, they often hold a press conference and appeal for the perpetrator to give themselves up because he "obviously needs help". Has there ever been a single recorded instance of a murderer doing this? And why would anyone willingly do this? Surely the very fact that they're a murderer would mean that they are not the sort of person to "do the right thing". Do the police know something we don't?

no we do not shoot first in the USA!
Second, yes it does work quite often because even if the murderer does not turn themselves in, maybe someone else knows something and turns the person in. Also even if no further suspects, sometimes they just gain more evidence.

"9th Circuit courtroom of Appeals has ruled that police do not have any particular duty to guard you or your belongings. The police in ordinary words have a usual duty to inspect and prosecute a criminal offense after it really is been dedicated." Thank God that is real. The police get sued adequate already. ought to you imagine what the lawsuits may be like if some legislative body wrote a regulation pointing out that the police ought to safeguard you? lol by the fashion, the motto of our community police branch is "to guard and To Serve" and they do a really darn reliable pastime. So, the astounding answer is all 3.

I suspect that a while after someone has committed the crime, a sense of realisation may dawn on them. In some individuals this may linger and lead to increasing guilt & self-hatrid. It would be at that point they realise that (almost) the only way to help reduce those emotions is to give themselves up to the justice system to pay for their crime and also help relatives of the victim by giving them the chance to see/communicate with the perpetrator.

Ask Timothy Evans. No, wait a minute, the half-wit was hanged for admitting to one of John Christie's murders. He certainly needed help.
