The Relationship Between Sadism And Its Effects On Children

Further exploration discovered that the choice of sexual expression correlates more to the child’s age then the offenders (Sanford, 87). Offenders do not form intimate relationships with other adults (Henderson, 39). Eight-five percent of sexual activity was nonorgasmic with one-fourth of activity ending before any stimulation occurred by the offender (Sanford, 83). Now that we know some offenders characteristics, it is paramount that we learn to identify traits that may be common to youthful victims.

In “Riding the Bull at Gilleys,” Scully and Marolla depict the psychopathological and the socio-cultural models of rape. The psychopathological model is a representation of what psychotherapist have used for years to explain the reasoning behind rape. With this model, rape is the result of an eccentric mental dysfunction, which symptoms include involuntary and uncontrollable sexual impulses. These sexual impulses may be temporary, repetitive, long lasting or brief. This model also implies that male sexual aggression is abnormal, therefore; psychologists do not seek any other rational explanation. Mainly, the psychopathological model ignores any correlational factors linking male sexual aggression to learned social behavior.

Sexual abuse is a heinous act that causes extreme suffering for a victim while providing pleasure for a perpetrator. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, approximately 1 in 6 boys and 1 in 4 girls are abused sexually before the age of 18 (n.d.). The question of why an individual would commit such a heinous act has various answers, almost all of which depend on the background of the individual. A common speculation is that abusers themselves were once abused by someone else. This idea branches off of the Positivist Theory of crime. The theory basically states that prior influences or experiences in life will ultimately decide how people will act in the future (C. Bartol & A. Bartol, 2017). Their history of abuse influenced them to become abusers. While this may be one viable explanation to this behavior, there are many other answers that are just as feasible in explaining this behavior. This includes the topic of serious mental illnesses and other behavioral disorders. Regardless of background influences, the true intent of the abusive individuals may be almost impossible to draw out, especially since most guilty individuals want to escape from the consequences associated with the crime that they commit (Inbau, Reid, Buckley, & Jayne, 2013). Unless a perpetrator admits to committing the crime, piecing the story together and understanding the influences that played a role in the actions committed by them is more feasible in terms of learning the truth. Whatever the

For the past 300 years, the world’s society has displayed lots of unbelievable human cruelty. For example, slavery in the 18th and 19th century, African Americans were forced into harsh work labor because of their skin color. Then in the 20th century, a determined dictator, Adolf Hitler, murdered and tortured eleven million lives. This horrifying event was called the Holocaust, it occurred in 1933 but ended in 1945. Adolf Hitler was angered about the result of World War 1, so he blamed Jewish people, the disabled, and other groups. During the holocaust, the eleven million lives were forced into harsh work labors or was put into gas chambers and was killed instantly. People described the Holocaust as inhumane act, and the people that survived it, could really say it was a scarring memory.

Serial murder has been present for centuries. Some records dating it back as early as the 1800s with Jack the Ripper. Many theories have been established into the explanation of serial murder such as trauma-control model, motivational model and lust murder (also known as extreme sadism) as Paraphilia. This essay will focus on lust murder, with a brief commentary on both trauma-control and motivational models in regards to this theory respectively. This will be shown in terms of its historical context, key features, strengths and limitations and how lust murder as a paraphilia can be used to explain serial murder. This essay will also outline an introduction to paraphilia’s as well as a contemporary Australian case of Peter Dupas.

Not only does progress affects an individual and the environment it also affects the animals that inhabit the world. In the name of progress, many people made their wants first priority over the need for others as well as animals. Many of theses wants have led many animals to extinction at a high rate. And due to the demanding market many corporations especially in agriculture uses modified corn that depletes that soil of all its nutrition. Therefore, the soil is not able to bare any grass or foods supply for animals to eat (furthering reducing their food supply). Other corporations, such as slaughterhouses treat animals like a wealth make by caging them, drugging them and injecting them with hormones in small places in turn maximizing profit insteading of treating them as intelligent animals that are able to feel pain. As Jonathan Safran Foer writes in “Our New Sadism,” “Undercover investigators showed some workers administering daily beatings, bludgeoning pregnant sows with a wrench and ramming an iron pole a foot deep into mother pigs’ rectums and vaginas.” (Foer 181). Foer explains how these workers does not care about the animals and abuse them without showing them any mercy. Furthermore, other corporations puts toxins

Back in the day there were not as many child protecting laws and assisting facilities like there are today. In 1960’s there was very little information as it relates to child abuse. A Canadian psychologist by the name of William L. Marshall said, “you could read all the information in one morning. With the lack of information there was no way for individuals to readily identify what constituted as child abuser. Child abuse before 1875 was in fact the era before child services were created to protect the children.

The American Psychiatric Association 's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) characterizes pedophilia as intermittent sexually stirring dreams, rash cravings, or practices including sexual acts with a kid and that happen over a time of no less than six months. Much of the

Characteristics of a pedophile’s typical victim consist of usually one sex, male or female; and typically under the age of puberty. “Females were [sic] the most commonly abused . . .” sexes (Hall, 2007, p. 461). There are more reports of female victims than male victims with the typical offenses. Males, however, are at a higher risk with “forced sodomy” (Hall, 2007, p. 461). At young, impressionable, and instable ages these youth are set with inappropriate views of what love is and what their bodies were made for. Younger victims are much easier to manipulate than adults. “The gender of the child also plays an integral part in the selection” female youth, in particular, are very impressionable and for an older male figure to take notice

1) Any sex guilty party could at present be viewed as fierce regardless of the possibility that they did not kill their casualties. The perpetual physical, passionate, and mental scars that sex guilty parties leave their casualties and the life changing harms groups of casualties’ experience is sufficiently awful. No, regardless of the possibility that a sex wrongdoer does not kill their casualties, there is a potential hazard that they could in any case display vicious inclinations and can hurt somebody.

Sexual norms being repressed can lead to this disorder acting as a form of blockage. Adults who go through such a situation may make them “feel guilty or conflicted about engaging in adult sexual relationships” (Finkelhor & Araji, 1986). There is also the norm about masturbation being inappropriate for adults. When these norms are seen as inappropriate, individuals act out to release pressure. This ends up being at children. Many people with this disorder, as we have seen previously, are antisocial. Their relationships are not well or nonexistent. The only people they can take advantage of are children who are small and

Sexual behaviors and experimentation are very much a part of childhood development. Normative sexual behaviors of children consists of preschool children poking others bodies, and being interested in bathroom functions, while children ages 5 to 7 years are telling dirty jokes, kissing, and holding hands, and children ages 8 to 12 years, are mooning and exhibitionism, kissing, and touching others’ genitals (Caldwell, 2007). However when children are not supervised appropriately they are capable of sexually harming other children. Adolescents are accountable for perpetrating 20% of all sexual assaults, along with 50% of all child sexual abuse cases (Keelan & Fremouw, 2013). However in considering that statistic some sexual harming behaviors can be within the parameters of normal child behavior, and sometimes rarely signal predatory inclinations (Caldwell, 2007). The vast majority of youth harmful sexual acts are manifestations of non-sexual feelings. In fact, many mental health care professionals have found that much of the behavior classified as sex offenses should not necessarily be considered predatory. Therapists point out that many sexual offenses are carried out by naïve experimenters who are overly impulsive and/or immature adolescents that sometimes engage in sexual experimentation (Smith, Wampler, Jones, & Reifman, 2005). Examining the sexual behavior along with the age of the perpetrator and victim helps classify whether or not those behaviors fall

Sexual homicide is defined as the killing of another in the context of power, control, sexuality, and aggressive brutality (Burgess, Hartman, Ressler, Douglas, & McCormack, 1986). Terms associated with sexual homicide include lusk killing, lust murder, sadistic murder, sadistic lust murder, and rape murder (Schlesinger, 2007). There are reasons for the above terms they includesexual homicide is not legally defined, sexual homicide is not defined clinically, and while homicide is defined similarly in many countries, the sexual element of it appears problematic (Schlesinger, 2007). There are two types of sexual homicide they are catathymic and compulsive murders (Schlesinger, 2007) Catathymic murder refer to homicides that are the result of a underlying sexual conflict, they tend to both planned and unplanned with can stem from an obsession or a disturbed attachment towards the victim (Schlesinger, 2007). Author Schlesinger (2007) discusses the process of catathymic they include: early trauma leads to a change in thinking, a violent idea emerges, an extreme emotional tension develops and the violent act is carried out, following the violence, a superficial normality occurs, and tension is lifted, insight and recovery ensue, or the process can be repeated (Schlesingr, 2007).

     Cohen, Seghorn, and Calmas (1969) described three types of child molesters derived from their clinical studies. One type had a history of relatively normal functioning and the incident of molestation appears to reflect a reaction to a severe threat to their sense of sexual adequacy. Another type had a history of poor social-sexual functioning and is regarded as primitive and immature in terms of social-sexual skills. The last type they found in their study had offenses involving cruel and vicious assaults on children and the act of molestation is regarded as more aggressive then sexual. (Mc Creary, 1975)

Power and control killers gain pleasure by overpowering their victim (Barrow, Rufo & Arambula, 2013, p.119). They like to gain total control over the persons as power is key to them. Oftentimes sexual activity occurs, but typically it is used to exert power in the form of sexual abuse. In Dennis’ words when he described his fantasy, he described having control as the key, which was the bonding that was most important for him to fulfill and in order to get satisfaction and complete his satisfaction, he had to go for the kill while they were bound and tied (Secret Confessions,
