Rabid or Sadistic: Criminal Profiling a Rapist

More generally, who is the rapist?It is a psychopath who tries strong emotions only humiliates and dominates a woman through sexual violence? It is an ordinary man who, unable to assert themselves in everyday life, she takes it out of his frustrations on an unknown? What could be the criminal profiling of a rapist? According to Malamuth (1998) that many rapists have in common is the high hostility toward women. Some studies have highlighted how the rapist tends to react with greater sexual arousal to images of sexual coercion (Lalumière and Quins, 1994).Usually men sexually aggressive tend to have antisocial and impulsive personality traits (Crowell and Burgess, 1996). In addition to violent tendencies, rapists may have specific sexual difficulties. The results of a large study found that men who had sexually assaulted women had 3.5 times more likely to report erectile dysfunction (Laumann, 1999).Simon (1996) as reported in the psychiatric literature have been identified four basic profiles, which characterize the type of rapist, on the grounds the reward: rape is usually planned or premeditated. His sexual behavior towards the victim is an expression of sexual fantasies. He great, or puts into circulation, sexual perversions such as voyeurism, exhibitionism, transvestism, fetishism, obscene phone calls and masturbatory practices extravagant.A state of high arousal can lead to a loss of control and a distorted perception of reality. It led to fondle, caress the victim, perhaps in an attempt to reassure her and perhaps to reassure himself. Often there is a premature ejaculation. This type of rapist tries to compensate with a deep sense of inadequacy and failure as a male.The pimp: sexual behavior is expressed in an impulsive act, Predatory. In this case, the act has little significance in psychological, rape depends on the situation and from opportunity instead of an unconscious fantasy. The rapist is around in search of prey to be exploited and, once found, will force her to obey him. Did not affect the state of arousal of the victim and does not want to establish a relationship with her. When the opportunity presents itself probably is not excited, but the situation may trigger the same excitement. In the exploiters who have a low degree of impulsivity, sexual behavior occurs in response to something that threatens their image of a man. The exploiters are usually highly impulsive personality antisocial psychopaths.The angry: sexual behavior expresses anger and rage. The victim is the object moved aggression of the rapist. Usually, the anger stems from relationships characterized by child maltreatment and deprivation. Aggressive acts do not have any erotic aspect, because the rapist is filled only by the contempt and hatred. This hatred of women can express the minutes until the attack murder. Although the aggressive behavior can take as a result of sexual fantasies, the sexual assault itself is often devoid of sexual meaning. The rapist can attack the victim because they had been insulted just before (or so it seemed to him) or because a female for him rejected.The sadist is sexually aroused the suffering of another person. All rapists cause suffering to the victim, but only the sadistic physical and psychological suffering inflicted intentionally to increase their sexual arousal. During their sexual assault, most often commit acts of extreme cruelty. The exciting aspect of sexual aggression is related to pain or humiliation inflicted on the victim. Usually this behavior knows no limits and almost reaches the acme of brutality and violence before subsiding.The rapists can be classified Further according to the degree of motivation aggressive, then it is the instrumental and the expressive type. The rapist has an instrumental purpose first of all sexual. Aggression is the means by which the victim is forced acquiescence. The rapist has an expressive purpose, first aggressive and therefore seeks to do harm to the victim.Instrumental are the types of equalizer and the exploiter, and expressive are the angry and sadistic. The classifications can be even more precise, taking into account the degree of impulsivity present in each type. The degree of impulsiveness of the rapist is derived not only from the modus operandi, by its conduct in areas unrelated to the crime, such as work, interpersonal relations, economic decisions and other life events.
