The document discusses representations of crime in psychological thriller films. It notes that in Psycho, criminals are ultimately punished for their crimes with Norman Bates being arrested. Even though the focus is on Marion Crane, she is still punished for her crime by being killed. In Seven, the focus is more on the law enforcers but it also juxtaposes the law enforcer and breaker by highlighting the similarities between John Doe and Lieutenant Somerset. Unlike in Psycho, in Seven the criminal wins in the end and those who are killed seem to deserve it, with there being no true "good" conclusion as the "bad" guy triumphs in the end.
