The Six Motives Of Arson

Depending on the source, and the perspective of the author, there are two main theories or justifications for the fire. One is that the fire was caused and intentionally fueled by arsonists inside the compound. The other theory is that the fire was caused as a result of the FBI throwing tear gas into the partially destroyed building where residents were firing and receiving active gunfire. The areas where tear gas, a flammable component, was introduced were very heat sensitive because of the constant gun fire that was occurring. The cause of the fire is important because if the residents started and fueled the fire then they were responsible for the fire, but if the fire was caused by the FBI then the eighty deaths are in the hands of the

Three of four students in Payette, Idaho, were arrested for a fire on February 22, 2016. "Paul Hendrix-Mills, 14 and Donovan Ferreira, 16, are each charged with arson and conspiracy to commit arson…Travis Kenney, 14 and another 15-year-old defendant are charged with conspiracy to commit arson" (KTVB). The unnamed student who is not in custody yet is expected to be arrested soon.

Most writers think of morality as one of the worst issues in human society. In Faulkner’s short story Barn Burning, he helps the reader understand the difference between loyalty to the law and loyalty to the family. The main character is a ten-year-old boy, who encounters the problem of choosing between right and wrong. He chooses loyalty to the law because of his morals and ethical principles and ignores his father’s wishes to help him burn the barn. Sometimes loyalty to the family can be a tremendous burden on someone’s shoulders. Even though it could put your family at risk, choosing loyalty to the law can prevent a burden being placed on you. Sometimes what may save your family could destroy that person. Often people are torn between choosing the safety of themselves and their family, and doing what is lawfully right.

The person I have chosen to do my scenario on is David Lee Gavitt, who not only was tried and convicted of arson and sent to prison, but had to grieve the death of his family from the fire as well. On March 9, 1985, David and his wife, Angela, went up to their bedroom to have sexual intercourse. While in their room doing their thing, the dog began to scratch on the door. Once David opened the door he was met by fire. He instructed his wife to round up their children and get out. David crawled to a back room with a window, broke it out and called for his wife. When she did not answer, he attempted to go find them, but the fire was too hot and was unable to locate them. Ultimately, David escaped the fire out the window he broke.

Arson is a serious problem in the United States, being the number one cause of all fires, the number two cause of fire death and the cause of over one billion dollars of damage every year. Webster defines arson as “ The crime of maliciously burning somebody else’s building or property or of burning one’s own to get insurance money.” Arson is thought of as an insurance concern, an invisible “paper lose” by the general populace, but for the firefighters who have been injured or killed responding to set fires and the hundreds of civilians killed each year in incendiary or suspicious building fires, arson looms as a significant issue that is anything but invisible.

Although it may seem like laws aren't easily passed, and that we should hear about them when they are passed this is however not the case. In reality, about 758 bills get turned into laws each year, most going unnoticed by the public. For instance, many people are presumably unaware that as of March 27th in 2013, because of the supporters like Senator Bob Peterson, Ohio instigated an official database for arsonists titled “To establish a registry for arson offenders.”. While this may not seem like a significant thing to have, many bills passed are similar in gravity. Like all laws, it was first drafted as a bill and then introduced to congress. Secondly, the bill was sent to the committee and then the house for review. After that, the

Arrogance, pride, and ambition are the driving force of humans. In the Exodus, the ambition of freedom made the Jewish people leave of Egypt. Arrogance drove the Roman Empire to expand their country, and make their cities more beautiful. However, many times arrogance, pride, and ambition have lead to the downfall of mankind. In “To build a fire” the negative effects of those traits are highlighted, showing the flaws and holes in that lifestyle.

While the arson that happen at 1029 Secluded Acres in Henderson, Nevada is an ongoing investigation, there is still many issues that have not been resolved. The issues like: the missing vehicle, stolen license plate, identification of the criminal suspect and how the victim was killed are key things that require some sort of follow up.

Fire is warmth. Fire is a danger. Fire is a change. Every tragic fire, which resulted in the loss of lives, was a sparkle that shaped the destinies, the society, and eventually the fire codes. Modern fire regulations had been shaping throughout the long and dramatic events. People had been losing their beloved, corporations - funds, and the state formed new codes.

The most common motive as to why arson fires are committed is for financial gains. According to U.S. Fire Administration Topical Fire Research Series, “The general public typically views arson as an insurance concern, primarily a paper crime of fraud mostly affecting insurance companies” (usfa.fema.gov). Many think that the easiest way to get insurance funds is by setting fires on their own properties or areas where they know will soon affect their section. Firefighters on the other hand, believe that they can easily get away with arson cases because no one would look directly towards an emergency fire responder as the criminal.

The definition of arson is the criminal act of purposely setting a fire to property. To a crime scene investigator arson is one of the most difficult things to investigate for many different reasons. For starters a fire can take a long time to burn and before any sort of investigation can be done the fire as to be well and truly out without any chance of it starting back up again. Usually when someone commits the crime of arson the suspect has planned ahead and is gone before the fire is done burning so it becomes a challenge to try to determine who has done it. Another problem that many investigators have is that fire can cause extensive damage to the building that it is set in, which could be dangerous for anyone who goes in there if the building becomes unstable, and it can cause a lot of the forensic evidence to burn away. Along with trying to establish a suspect for the crime it is also hard for investigators to establish a motive because there could be many different reasons to why someone would commit arson. Like revenge, anger, and the few who just like to see things burn. The problem with arson however is that it is hard to determine whether or not the fire was really arson and purposely set or if the fire was accidental. A fire can be started many different ways and it has many accidental causes. That is what many investigators have to consider, all the factors of a fire or explosion. Fire investigators have a harder time trying to investigate a fire scene because

According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program; it describes arson as being willful or malicious act of burning or attempting to burn, with or without intent to defraud, a dwelling house, public building, motor vehicle or aircraft, personal property of another, etc.[1] Our new era of legislation extended this definition to consist of the burning or exploding of commercial and public buildings for example like restaurants, schools and bridges.[2] The data collection determines if the arson was willfully set.[1] Arson statistics are formulated from input received from law enforcement entities that provided the UCR Program with statistics from the past 12 months.[1] Furthermore, in 2010, 15,475 law enforcement agencies were responsible for 1-12 months of arson data that resulted in 56,825 arsons being reported with.[1] Those who reported provided extended amount of information on 48,619 arson.[1] Some of the arsons involved were structures (e.g., residential, storage, public, etc.) resulting in 45.5 percent of the over-all amount of arson offenses.[1] Also, mobile property played a significant part with 26.0 percent of arsons, and there were other types of property (such as crops, timber, fences, etc.) that accounted for the remaining 28.5 percent of the reports.[1] Arson usually range from $17,612 or more in monetary loss depending on the property and its value.[1] Majority of the states have different degrees (ranges) for arson contingent on the value of the property, how it manifested, and the time of day it happen.[2] For instance, burning of an occupied apartment complex at night could be considered a first-degree arson, and if a building was close by the burning apartment

In the paper I will share the knowledge I have learned on how you can use Arson as a Crime to collect insurance money. Clothing fire, Vehicle fire and the use of Structure Fire Investigation. I will try and express the way an arsonist would get away with arson and how they can get caught with the works of an investigator. It’s our manly duty to crate fire out of thin air it has been like that ever since the stone ages. It has helped man become a dominant species in this world, and without it we would not be as colonized as we are today.
