    Features Of A Crime - The Quincy Train Station Abduction

    Between 1985 and 1986, a number of rapes, attributed to the same offender(s), were committed initially around railway stations in North London (UK), and later further afield. The early crimes appeared to be committed by two offenders working together (a fairly rare occurrence for a sexual assailant to have a consistent accomplice) at the weekend, with there being reports of other rapes occurring with a single assailant during the week; these weekday assaults were characterized by more violence and a greater degree of planning. The press dubbed the pair the “Railway Rapists” because they chose railway/transit stations as the sites/locations...

    Any drug or substance that is administered surreptitiously to reduce sexual inhibition, in order to increases the chances of non-consensual sex, should be viewed as a date rape drug, which means alcohol is still the leading substance of choice for sexual assailants, followed by marijuana, and then cocaine, if we are to use analysis of rape victims’ urine samples.

This is similar to the discussion regarding pedophilic sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic church i.e., were/are pedophiles attracted to the priesthood because celibacy – with adults -would not be an issue, and being in an organization like the church would give them access to...

  • Serial Killers: A Psychological Perspective

    Serial Killers: A Psychological Perspective

    In the previous article (which can be accessed by clicking here) I wrote about serial killers from a structuralist/sociological perspective. In this article I want to look at serial killing from a psychological/neuropsychological perspective i.e., what causes a specific individual to commit serial murder. Obviously, motivations to kill differ between offenders e.g., Ed Kemper was largely motivated by the hatred he had towards his mother, whilst Fred and Rose West were sexual sadists who progressed in their “exploration” of those they victimized to become killers. However, there are certain common traits and histories that may go towards creating the mind...
