LEE BOYD MALVO’S FACTORS 2
Abstract
During October 2002, “…10 people had been randomly gunned down and three critically
injured…” (
Beltway Snipers
, 2022). “It was barely a year after the September 11, 2001, tragedy,
and talk of terrorism abounded” (Albarus & Mack, 2012, p. 1). FBI profilers suggested that it
was the work of a middle-class white male, yet little did they know that two black males (41 and
17 years old) were behind all the terror (Albarus & Mack, 2012, pp. 1–2). John Muhammad and
Lee Boyd Malvo both carried out all shootings (
Beltway Snipers
, 2022). Yet, we will specifically
be talking about Lee Boyd Malvo’s biological, situational, developmental, and causal factors that
caused him to commit this crime.
LEE BOYD MALVO’S FACTORS 3
Lee Boyd Malvo’s Factors
Biological
A biological factor is, “Any
biological
condition or situation which diverts and individual
from developing from a societal norm” (Guerin, n.d.). Some examples of biological factors are
mental illnesses/conditions, physical handicaps, body size, and even abnormal genes (Guerin,
n.d.). With Malvo, his mental illness/condition was that he, “… had a Dissociative Disorder Not
Otherwise Specified (NOS)…” (Albarus & Mack, 2012, p. 206). He was also diagnosed with a
non-specified Depressive Disorder, and a Conduct Disorder (Albarus & Mack, 2012, p. 206).
This causes Malvo to forget events that are too frightening to process and remember, so he
dissociates himself from the event and does not remember it (Albarus & Mack, 2012, p. 206).
Malvo was also administered neuropsychological and psychological tests to see how his brain
worked (Albarus & Mack, 2012, p. 218-219). With memory, attention, and processing tests, he
scored in the impairment percentiles (Albarus & Mack, 2012, p. 219). The results raised multiple
red flags for neurocognitive/brain dysfunction (Albarus & Mack, 2012, p. 219). “The right
hemisphere, visual-spatial processing, and visual memory appeared to be more affected than
those subserved by the left hemisphere, including verbal processing and semantic memory”
(Albarus & Mack, 2012, p. 219). These all show Malvo’s biological factors contributed to his
commission of the Beltway crimes.
Situational
Situational factors are, “Any
current
condition or situation which diverts and individual from
developing from a societal norm” (Guerin, n.d.). Some examples would be influences by friends
and/or family, poverty, job loss, poor communication, weak societal bonds, and other examples
(Guerin, n.d.). For Malvo, his current situation that diverted him away from developing
normally, was John Muhammad (Albarus & Mack, 2012, p. 205). Malvo first met Muhammad in
October 2000, in St. John’s, Antigua (Albarus & Mack, 2012, p. 89). The young Malvo was so
mesmerized by Muhammad because of the similarity between Malvo’s relationship with his
father and Muhammad’s relationship with his son (Albarus & Mack, 2012, p. 89). He even
