I don’t write to soothe. I write to expose. Patterns, ethics, and evidence. Not opinion or distraction. 

I’m Dr. Mozelle Martin — investigative writer, criminologist, and forensic handwriting expert with nearly 40 years of experience. My writing confronts what most people try to avoid: how to live ethically in an unethical world. I don’t write to entertain or theorize — I write to expose and to force self-reflection. Using applied ethics, criminology, and lived fieldwork, I unpack the uncomfortable truths behind behavior, systems, and silence. This site archives my longform work across crime, culture, and human behavior. What you’ll find here isn’t opinion or entertainment — it’s evidence and analysis, built to withstand time.

And if you still believe humans are inherently good... 

Buckle up. 

My writing will likely smear shit all over your rose-colored glasses.
