Offender Power Assertive Rapist
As I have motivated above I believe that the offender is a power-assertive rapist. And this kind of person is a person who is looking for domination and control. This offender will most likely be self conscious and attack victim who is in the same race and age group as himself. I think the offender will probably be in the same age group as Susan but the offender might be black or hispanic. I do not know Susan´s skin color but she is living in a neighborhood where only 10% are white, and therefore I believe that the chance of the offender being white is small. I believe that the offender is a male, because Susan was raped and in the text the killer is referred to as a he. The power-assertive rapist is as I said self conscious he cares about

    It’s not fair that our justice systems tries to make people think that they try their hardest and follow the law just by pushing for reports to be made on assaults. Why should victims feel the need to make a report if they don’t get enough respect, help or treated with care? Especially if the crime has not been reported as a crime. Not only has the reports been reported as not being a crime, but it sometimes doesn’t get passed to the police to be investigated. Campbell states, No one has correlated the victim’s stories with the record of the accused rapist. She states, “They have previous records of violent offenses and sexual attacks on women”. (Campbell, 2007, pg.18). The police are not going to tell a victim that there is no way your case is going to be reported and there are many more that has not even went on file from years ago. Nor will the police inform a victim even if the suspect has previous records of assault there still is a chance your case is going to be investigated. The victim’s needs to be told the truth instead of lied to, a broken, inconsiderate, broken and a lying Justice system. Catching criminals is what the police are supposed to and don't, ant the main…

    Fact, sexual assault is a crime of any type of forced or coerced sexual contact or behavior that happens without consent.

    Criminal Psychopath

    • 661 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Psychopathy is an important construct in offender classification. Although several studies have suggested that there are two distinct subtypes of psychopaths, these studies have considerable limitations, including reliance on self-report measures, a failure to adequately address heterogeneity within the construct of psychopathy, and predictor-criterion contamination. A recent taxonomic study identified four subgroups of offenders, including primary and secondary psychopaths. We used cluster analysis to replicate and extend those findings to: 1) an independent sample; and 2) a PCL-R factor model that reduces predictor-criterion contamination. Additionally, we validated initial results using a novel clustering method. Results show that psychopathy subtypes are replicable across methods. Moreover, comparisons on other variables provide external validation of the subtypes consistent with prior theoretical conceptualizations.…

    Courting Disaster

    • 800 Words

    Whenever a crime is committed, someone is labeled the victim and someone else the offender. The offender often destroys or hurts something of value through violence and aggressive actions. The victim on the other hand was the helpless, weak, person taken advantage of because the offender could not be stopped. It seems pretty clear. In the book, Courting Disaster, Jennifer Dunn talks about the crime of intimate stalking and how very often the victim role is not an easy one to fit into. The line is not no so clear anymore, and the victim identity is harder to classify.…

    - Wolf gang determined that 150 cases or 26% of the 588 homicides examined in Philadelphia were victim-precipitated. He also found that the victim in each case was more likely to be African American and male than in non-precipitated cases. - In the Victim-precipitated cases 94 percent of the victims were male while in non- victim-precipitated only 70% were male. Also 80% of the victims in victim-precipitated were African American in contrast to 70%. - Women were found to make up 29% of offenders in victim-precipitated homicides while in non-victim-precipitated homicides they only made up 14%. The differences here may indicate that women may have been provoked by males in these situations. Further more it is possible that the male was violet towards the women due to the male seeing them as challenging their masculinity or otherwise disrespecting them. As such some of these homicides may very well be confrontational homicides. - Certainly all cases of homicide that involve women are not always the cause of confrontation or domestic violence. Victim/Offender Relationship - In 1958 Wolfgang found that homicide was more likely to occur between individuals who had some type of relationship. - Further…

    Women whose experiences do not conform to this stereotype or script are regularly seen as less than “real” or true victims. They are sometimes framed as women who have brought it upon themselves because their demeanor, behavior, or dress provoked the assailant (Williams, 1994) or because they were once engaged in an intimate relationship with the assailant. Since rape scripts assign extensive blame to the victim and since most rapes do not conform the “classic” scenario, survivors of acquaintance rape are less apt than victims of stranger rape to label the experience of sexual assault as rape. (Koss, 1992). They are also less likely to report their victimization to the police (Koss, 1992), and more likely to be blamed by others…

    Feminist Theory Of Crime

    • 1669 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The feminist criminological theory aims to understand minorities in race, gender socioeconomic status and many more and their intersection with one another and their relation to crime. In relation to interpersonal violence and gender, females are greatly underrepresented in studies- particularly regarding those who commit offences. As mentioned above this places a pressure on the legal system that does not know how to properly respond to these women. Feminist theories aim to bridge the gap between males and females in the criminal justice system and provide gender appropriate crime responses for all. Furthermore, breakthroughs discovered in feminist criminology regarding female crime and victimisation may assist in explaining male crime to some extent. Since feminist theory looks at all female crime and victimisation- including crimes involving males- reasons as to why males become victims of female assault and why they assault females are…
