Cubillos, also known as “the beast” needed to feel god like. He had the worst fantasies but the fantasies were better than real life. He would recreate the murders and soon about 172 young boys became victims of him. Background Cubillos was born in Genova, Colombia. He was the oldest of 7 siblings. He left school at age 16 and started to move place to place since then. Moving around caused him to live by his own rules (Culture Deviance Theory).

damaged after being raped for 13 years and not being able to go ask his parents for help (Social Disorganization Theory).
Being on the road all the time gave him fewer opportunities to better himself (Social Structure Theory). No education lead to risk behaviors and illegal acts to get ahold of what he needed to survive (Strain Theory). He started to grow anger towards the two neighbors that raped him and sent people to kill them. After sending people to kill them, he realized he had lost control over his fantasies. He would get aroused feeling he was in control and knew he was in charge now and not his dad or the two neighbors (Arousal Theory). Victims Cubillos killing spree was from 1992 to 1999 when he got arrested. There had been found over 200 bodies by 1992. Bodies were found in 13 different places in Colombia and some found in Ecuador. His victims were peasants,poor,street, young boys. They were between the ages 8-16 and vulnerable. It wasn’t hard for him to choose his victims because “39% of the children in Colombia lived in poverty” (Terre des Hommes) (Routine Activity Theory). He offered the kids money, gifts, and drugs. It was easy for the boys to go because the life style they lived didn't offer them so when
Cubillos would offer them what they needed they would with him (Lifestyle Theory). He would pass as a monk “El Cura”,vendor, or disabled person. Cubillos lured the young boys from busy streets to hidden areas where he would gain their trust. The places he took them were with high, over-grown grass areas, where it was hard for people to find, hear, and smell the bodies. Investigators say he took his anger that he carried on the young boys. Gravity was drunk while committing the crimes. They were found tortured, raped, decapitated, and tied. in 1998, two boys were found with bite marks, neck and genitals were cut and their hands were tied. the next day they found another body next to them. Prosecutor, Fernando Aya, was looking at 13 different cases all over Colombia. They were all missing young boys. No one claimed the boys or thought it was unusual for Cubillos to be helping the boys. In Nacederos, 14 more bodies were found. All the bodies had knife or screwdriver marks and cuts. On April 22, 1999, a homeless man witnessed an older man trying to abuse a young boy. When the cops got to Luis Garavito he had given them a fake name, Bonofacio Morero Liscado . They didn't let him go because he fit the description that Ivan Sabogal had given them. Luis Cubillos had denied everything that Sabogal had said. Ivan had scratches, stab wounds on the side, and bite marks on his body. He cried and claimed he would never do anything like that. In some crime scenes they found evidence that he had left behind. The police found glasses, underwear, beer bottles, shoes and money. Investigators had said that leaving everything behind was because he was in a rush to leave. The shoes they found gave a lot of evidence about Cubilllos. First, test showed that the pressure points in the shoe confirmed the killer had a limp. Then, because of the location of the pressure points, they confirmed the person was wearing a bigger size. The condition on the glasses showed the person had to be between the ages 40-45 or 60-65. The glasses showed the killer had odly placed ears. They had to confirm the glasses were his and to do so they made everyone take the exam so he wouldn't fake it or fail the exam. Finally, witnesses had seen Garavito with the beer they found on the crime scenes. After 18 hours of questioning he gave in and admitted to everything and cried out because he couldn't take the investigators telling him about the victims (Specific Deterrance Theory). Garavito claimed he was possessed while committing the crimes. Investigorts went to to Cubillos sisters house,Ester Garavito Cubillos, where she told them that he gave them a bag. The bag had documents, photos, notebooks, bus tickets, and fibers. The notebook had all the crimes he committed. It also had what worked and everything that didn't work (Social Learning Behavior Theory). He kept as much information so he could relive it. The trophies he would take from his victims were their picture from their ID. He would take pictures in apartments or dressed as a monk. In some pictures he was near the crime scene. The fibers they found were the same ones found in previous crime scenes and the lottery ticket is the same one Ivan Sabigal was selling the day he went missing. Imprisonment On 1999, Luis Garavito Cubillos was finally arrested and found sane (Incapacitation Theory). Cubillos was sentenced for 172 crimes committed but found guilty for 138. In Colombia, Imprisonment cant be more than 30 years and they don't have the death penalty. He helped the investigators locate the bodies and had it reduced to 22 years instead of the whole 1,853 years. The public was furious when they heard about the years he was serving for all the murders he did. Imprisonment increased to 60 years because of the conflict Cubillos case made. The worlds worst rapist and serial killer will soon be out on the streets.

When confronted and asked to leave the kids said the had no other place to go. How could Baca simply turn away from these kids, when in fact he was one of these kids, homeless and without a purpose. To help the young kids he sets up a make shift home in a local church and for the time being allows the kids a few nights off the streets. Baca since then has set up many work shops with troubled youth in order to try and help them change their lives. It helps that Baca was a troubled adolescent because he can relate to the kids more, because he understands their problems and what they struggle with in day to day life. His final layer of skin has allowed him to connect to the youth and use his gift of poetry to help those in
The central theme in all of them is that he was not in an environment that taught him to live what is considered a normal life. The people he was surrounded by and who had the most influence on him were the ones who taught him to be the way he was and act the way he did. If he had lived in a different city, or had different role models growing up, then maybe he would not have been led into a life of crime. Unfortunately however, he was surrounded by poor circumstances and was forced to do whatever he could in order to survive. Works Cited Adler, Freda, Gerhard O. W. Mueller, and William S. Laufer.

Machismo is a Latin American ideology in which the men are superior to the women. Trujillo used machismo throughout his whole regime to give himself a foot above others. Trujillo had a very interesting nickname that is someway an indicator how he felt about himself and how it aided his ego and his machismo; the nickname was the Spanish word Tigre. Trujillo almost aimlessly got the pinnacle of his tigueraje with political control, utilizing violence, bravery, athletic build, and with his manliness he also achieved getting the nickname tigre gallo. Machismo is in many ways different in the Dominican Republic rather than different Latin American countries; they usually have the same basis but a different structure, For example, a father was distant figure who never actually raised a child, on the contrary, the father was ultimately represented by the daughter. Trujillo utilized his power that he had gained from a machista, by changing the divorce laws. By when he changed the divorce laws were one of the most liberal divorce laws on the Western Hemisphere, the reason for that is because Trujillo needed more lenient laws that would help during his divorces. With that being said, Trujillo utilized his machismo and his tigueraje to build a regime that was focused more on him and in someway people related to it, so it ultimately legitimized his

The entire book was leading up to the murder of the notorious Mirabal sisters which also put into perspective how oppressed these people were. Not only did this book give the reader an insight on the life of a citizen of the Dominican Republic between the years of 1930 and 1960 but, it showed how an oppressive government could affect the people in both negative and positive ways, using the sisters as examples. Obviously, negative aspects included citizens being jailed and killed by their own government. In a situation such as this, fear was in every person, whether they were brave enough to join the resistance or not. Families were torn apart, as shown in the book. Minerva, Maria Teresa, and their husbands, along with Patria’s husband, were taken from their children, home, church and family to be jailed for going against the government. Alvarez vividly describes the hurt that came to the families when they were broken apart. In jail, the sisters and husbands were also physically ill. They were being starved and being diagnosed with pneumonia which was not unheard

Nonetheless, Roto is capable of adaptating to the challenges of his daily existence and to yearn for them, allowing
