Document Summary

Deal with people, with out knowing the real person. You are seeing a collection of defense mechanisms. Drinking or doing drugs, does not cause behavior, it permits behavior that you want to do (behavior that you try to control) Sexually motivated: exclusively sexual: offender seeks sexual gratification and uses as much force as necessary to achieve such gratification, sadistic: offender achieves sexual gratification through pain and/or fear from the victims; offense may lead to sexual murder. Criminal behavior has its roots in sexual drive, or rather the lack thereof. We do everything for a reason, for pleasure at some level. Non-sexually motivated: power/control: offender desires power and dominance over the victim; sometimes the motivation is humiliation, degradations, opportunistic: recreational/situation offender often committed during another offense. Mass rape during war: need for power and domination of another. The law of parsimony: is a scientific law/concept: you must take the simplest explanation of something when you try to explain.
