I have myself done some investgaion...Good question. I have myself done some investgaions into this issue.<BR/><BR/>So, they're maniacs? But then their acts are unintelligible. If so, how could you possibly prevent it from happening in the future?<BR/><BR/>Murder forms a pattern. There DOES exist a comprehennsible and politicvalla practicall criminology to be applied for effective prevenmtion.<BR/><BR/>Lets outline a classification.<BR/><BR/>1. Wanton killings, emerging from the heat of the moment, regularly under influens of alcohol and other drugs. Characteristical for undermost social strata.<BR/><BR/>2. Rational murders. Occuring in organized crime, almost always for economical motives.<BR/><BR/>3. Political murders.<BR/><BR/>4 Serial murders. These are almost exclusively sexually motivated, committed by people with severe lobidinous disorders of an insular character,leaving most of personality intact and well-ordered.<BR/><BR/>5. Spree murders. Svetlana cannot even begin to fathom? I think I can. You see, this happens again, and again, and agan there is a pattern, and a quite clearly discernible pattern at that. Committors are regularly youg people with personality disorders, filled of hatred fuelled with the feeling of being outcast, downthrodden, bygone and debased, and the motiveis explosive generalized revenge. (The name Martin Bryant should be acutely significant for the adience. Here we have type case indeed, of the Spree murderer).<BR/><BR/>Now, compare diffent countries, different society. In Sweden, we have a constant prevalnce of class 1 muurders, and class 2. murders form a steadily rising curve. We have no class murders, few class 4 murders, and have seen no class 5 murders at all.<BR/><BR/>What about USA, Germany, Finland, Russia, indeed Australia? Seems to me there's a different pattern here. These are the ountries wher serial killings and spree murders occur.<BR/><BR/>In Russia there's serial murder, in Finland spree murder.<BR/><BR/>Conclusion: society, culture, system should be object of enqiuiry here. Then you may find some explanations; and some grip of what could be done for prevention.<BR/><BR/>But don't take pride in ignorance! Platitudinal expressions of chocked bewilderment raises some suspicion the real errand is to make onmeself known as a law abiding reliable citizen and a make impression of being a generally impeccable person. Now, ehat did we alllearn by that? Such an approach to it doesn't seem much productive for improvement of real things and circumstances.<BR/><BR/>I will take up this on my blog Window Mirror.<BR/><BR/>Yours,<BR/>Peter Ingestad, SwedenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-46725721251940513072009-03-12T16:58:00.000-11:002009-03-12T16:58:00.000-11:00I cannot even begin to fathom the depth of despair...I cannot even begin to fathom the depth of despair and hatred that could drive a person to mass murder. There must be something lacking, something akin to Aspergus syndrome, when people could not feel empathy towards others; for them, it's all about I, Me, My - "others" are but shadows, or inferior beings incapable of intense feelings or thoughts... <BR/> In fascist Germany, the "others" ideology helped turn normal, sentimental and naive young people into killing machines. But that was state ideology...<BR/> On individual level, I would not be surprised that<BR/>a combination of lack of nurture and psychiatric problems(unidentified and sometimes identified!)<BR/>could very well trigger murderous ideation. Enter<BR/>easy access to automatic weapons...<BR/> Anton Chekhov once wrote that a rifle on the wall must eventually fire... That is why I do not support<BR/>freedom of bearing arms. I would much rather be killed, than become a murderer. Interestingly enough, my Anglo-American friends have stockpiles in their homes, and my Russian-American friends have none...<BR/><BR/> I also want to thank you for you kind words and support. I agree that there are special people in the world ... and only God knows when and why we meet them...Svetlana Mamedovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17381372361172059562noreply@blogger.com
