1. Albert Smith is most likely to fall into the anger-retaliatory rapist category. This kind of rapist is someone with little planning and the attack is happening really fast. Smith was doing the same, you could see that there was little planning since he went to the bar and just followed the victim into the toilet. This also shows that it was a blitz attack, because the whole event seemed spontaneous and that Smith hadn't gone to the club with a plan of following a women into the restroom and raping her. The whole act seemed like it was barely planned, and when Smith decided to rape the women it was al going very fast like a blitz attack

had one week before the rape walked into his wife cheating on him with another man. Smith was very upset and it triggered an anger in him that he tried to take out on the man his wife was cheating with. Mr. Smith´s wife´s cheating is the stressor that was triggered before the act. Since the act was triggered by a stressor the act is driven by rage and anger. One could see that Mr. Smith´s attack was driven by anger because he was hitting the victim which is a sign of act driven by anger. The anger-retaliatory rapist´s acts is driven by rage, hate and anger, such as Smith´s attack. The anger-retaliatory rapist also has a specific intent to hurt the victim, which Smith also had.
Before he committed the crime he was drinking and thinking about how angry he was at his wife for cheating on him. Smith took out his anger for his wife on the random women going to the restroom, proving that Smith´s intent was to harm the women after being harmed by his wife and the cheating …show more content…
situation. Mr.
Smith approach to his victim by following her in to the restroom and then sexually assault her. The anger-retaliatory rapist is a socially incompetent man, meaning that he would have a hard time to be social with people he doesn't know. The way Smith was sneaking up on his victim instead of doing as the power-assertive rapist would do and charm his victim to follow him proves that Smith was probably socially incompetent.
When Smith was done with his sexual assault against the victim he left her there severely beaten up. In the way Smith left her one can see that he didn't care about here at all like the power reassurance rapist would. In they way he assaulted, beaten up and left the victim you can also draw the conclusion that he had a hatred for women. He doesn't care about women at all, he wants to hurt them which is one of the biggest typologies of the anger-retaliatory
rapist.
Robert William “Willie” Pickton is currently serving a life sentence for the second degree murder of six British Columbian women. Although convicted for the murders of six victims, physical and forensic evidence for thirty-three women was uncovered at Pickton’s Port Coquitlam pig farm which served as the crime scene for his murders. Numerous other missing women, mostly marginalized prostitutes with chronic drug addiction, from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside area remain unaccounted for. It is not unreasonable to assume that they too, met the same disturbing fate as the other murder victims. Pickton’s modus operandi for the serial murders was the same; he would prowl the drug and poverty ridden Downtown Eastside neighbourhood of Vancouver looking for potential victims, take the victims back to his Port Coquitlam pig farm, and then sexually abuse, torture, and murder them before mutilating and disposing their bodies. Most disturbingly, the victim’s remains were allegedly fed to the pigs on his farm, which were then slaughtered with the meat given out to associates of Pickton or to visitors of the farm (The Pickton Trial, CBC.ca/news).
It has been reported that Jamie has ‘committed more than one act of intimate partner violence’ which suggests a lack of control. Jamie denied responsibility for these aggressive acts and stated ‘she can be a total cow when she wants to be’. Weldon & Gilchrist (2012) found that offenders believe partners provoke violent responses which can be highlighted in Jamie’s case as he reported ‘she should know when to shut up’. Although there is evidence of the lack of ability to control aggression, there is insufficient evidence regarding the level of aggression and minimal violence was reported from the sexual
These two men, both coming from different backgrounds, joined together and carried out a terrible choice that rendered consequences far worse than they imagined. Living under abuse, Perry Smith never obtained the necessary integrity to be able to pause and consider how his actions might affect other people. He matured into a man who acts before he thinks, all due to the suffering he endured as a child. Exposed to a violent father who did not instill basic teachings of life, Smith knew nothing but anger and misconduct as a means of responding to the world. He knew no other life. Without exposure to proper behavior or responsible conduct, he turned into a monster capable of killing an entire family without a blink of remorse. In the heat of the moment, Perry Smith slaughtered the Clutter family and barely stopped to take a breath. What could drive a man to do this in such cold blood? The answer lies within his upbringing, and how his childhood experiences shaped him to become the murderer of a small family in Holcomb, Kansas. ¨The hypothesis of unconscious motivation explains why the murderers perceived innocuous and relatively unknown victims as provocative and thereby suitable targets for aggression.¨ (Capote 191). ¨But it is Dr. Statten´s contention that only the first murder matters psychologically, and that when
John smith, the accused, stood up in the courtroom and started yelling at the judge about what he thought of his innocence irrespective of the decision that the judge would make. He also cursed the prosecutor and kept quiet when his lawyer warned him of the negative consequences that would follow if he continued with the same behavior. Smith
The Conflict Perspective, in itself, focuses on the ruling class and the ruled class. In the perspective, the ruling class defines what is deviant based on how it helps them. In this case, the ruling class would be defined as upper-class and white. The ruled class would be defined as lower-class and black. This is illustrated through the emphasis placed on the impact of the differences between the woman who was raped and the young men who were accused of raping her. The woman who was raped was a white and wealthy business woman who worked as an investment banker on Wall Street. The young men who raped her were lower class, black, and from Harlem. Due to these extreme differences, there was immense media attention. The media was often one sided and viewed the young men as criminals and animals in order to make them social pariahs. The media and upper-class wanted to make an example of them to reinforce the laws and separate the two groups even further. Also, the court system had the woman give a testimony despite the fact that she could not remember anything that happened that night. The documentary stated that her testimony was simply used to “pack an emotional punch,” and make the young men look even more inhuman. Finally, when the men were exonerated, the media barely covered it. The news was no longer about showing the lower-class where they belonged. Anything
While Lemuel Smith would kill randomly people, mostly women, John Floyd Jr had a certain type of women and killing method that he followed by. All of his victims were elderly and lived alone. The reason why he would pick this certain type of victims is because they would be less likely to fight back and no witnesses would be left since they lived alone. Both serial killers show different type characteristics that reflects serial killers behavior. Lemuel Smith is seen to be a disorganized serial killer. A disorganized serial killer is seen to be very random, carless and aggressive. That particular type of killer has no strategy of murder he/she commits and doesn’t have an ideal victim type. They kill just to kill, they don’t try to hide evidence or clean up the crime scene.(Burgess) John Floyd Thomas on the other hand fits with the characteristics of an organized serial killer. Organized serial killers plan there murders , have an ideal victim type most of the time and are at a low risky to get caught.(Burgess) John Floyd Thomas was on the run for over a decade before actually getting caught by law enforcement. He planned every step with the upmost caution. He based his day job primarily on his victim type’s
Susan Smith could have been a normal woman. If you passed her on the streets you wouldn’t know that she would turn out to be a killer. Susan had a secret though, a deadly secret. Susan Smith was a cold, calculating killer, capable of murder in cold blood. I believe Susan had many factors contributing to the state of mind she had before the murder of her two sons, like her traumatizing childhood and the many dysfunctional relationships she had.

In a study conducted by Hickey, he discovered that out of thirty-four female serial killers, almost one in two had a male accomplice committing murders with them (Holmes et al., 1991). He also revealed that 97% were white and the average age the women started committing murders was thirty-three (Holmes et al., 1991). Women serial killers differ from men in that most women kill for material gain, such as money or insurance benefits, and they usually commit murder with pills or poison. Stephen Holmes, Ronald Holmes, and Eric Hickey developed a typology for female serial killers similar to the one developed by Holmes and Holmes, discussed earlier. They begin with visionary serial killers, who are compelled by some force, such as God, or spirits, to commit murders. The second type is the comfort killer, who usually kills acquaintances and does so for a material gain, money or real estate (Holmes et al., 1991). The third category is hedonistic female serial killers, which is similar to the earlier typology in that the offender connects murder with sexual gratification. This is the least represented category for female offenders, but evidence for this type of killer can be seen in the case of Carol Bundy (Holmes et al., 1991). Bundy allegedly helped her husband kidnap, murder, and decapitate the
In 1978 behavioral scientist Han Brunner interviewed a patient at a Nijmegen hospital in the Netherlands whom was concerned about the extremely aggressive and violent behavior of the males in her family. This family had produce five generation of men that were attempted murders and rapists tracing back a hundred years to 1870. [2]
The details included by Smith effectively show him to be the more compassionate man of the murderers. In Smith’s statement there are many details, vividly described, that show the reader the compassion in his heart. One of the first acts of kindness is shown when they find Mr. Clutter, “… I thought that Dick was ready to smash him, so I said, “Dick. Listen to me. There’s somebody awake upstairs”(238). By distracting Dick, Smith effectively saves Mr. Clutter from Dicks wrath and changes Dicks focus from him to another problem at hand. By talking about how readily

Serial killers commonly attack a single target at a time one on one. There also tends to be no or very little relation between the person being killed and the killer (murder 1). “The nature of this drive has been heavily debated, but there is a consensus on some points (Anderson 1).” Many researchers have noted sexual behavior in the murder.
The first case is based upon the character of Sarah Tobias, portrayed by Jodi Foster in the movie The Accused. Sarah is depicted as a young independent woman who has just ended a relationship with her partner. After the breakup, Sarah goes to a bar called The Mill where her friend works. After a couple of drinks, Sarah is no longer sober. She starts dancing provocatively. The men in the bar surround her, and she is gang-raped. Later at the hospital, Sarah, battered and exhausted, is interrogated. One of the standard questions directed at her inquires as to whether or not she has ever had an STD. During the trial, Sarah is bombarded by more questions about her past. She is portrayed as if she were the guilty one, even though she has been violated in a vicious assault. The defense attorney builds his defense on the possibility that her lifestyle makes her into women who would ask to be raped. He emphasizes how she was drunk and was dressed provocatively on the night in question. He suggests that wearing a mini skirt can translate into an invitation to be raped, that consent comes complicit with attire.
...al abnormality is another contributor of rape, in which a mental disease or personality disorder is to blame. It is said that most serial rapists are those who have some type of illness. Social learning, says that the people and the environment you are in causes violent behavior such as rape. The more you are around people who are aggressive and forcible to women the more likely you are to repeat that behavior. Or someone who you may have seen or been a victim yourself of sexual assault. Sexual motivation is the last cause that can contribute to rape in which a young offender and older offender have different sexual motivation. It is said the intent of the younger offender is that pure sexual gratification and some sort of "feeling" for their victim, verses an older offender in which he chooses young victims for "power and control" so the threat of harm is greater.
