Why Do People Kill? (A Typology On Violent Offenders) by Nobody: 11:25am On Nov 03, 2014 |
At various times, I have pondered on this topic: ___ why do people kill? ___Why do they commit murder? ___How do we explain acts of violence? Last night after reading a James Hadley Chase book (Not Safe To be Free...), I decided to do a lil research on this topic. It is not an exhaustive explanation but it describes many, if not most types of homicide and most acts of violence. It describes most of the killers and violent individuals.. Chronically Aggressive Individuals -Easily frustrated, limited or poor impulse control -Frequently express anger or hostility -Resents authority, defiant with supervisors. -Believes violence and/or aggression are legitimate responses to various interpersonal problems in life (i.e., if someone provokes you, you fight back) The Over-Controlled Hostility Type -Rarely display or express anger - they don’t cuss or yell, and may be offended by such. -Emotionally rigid and inflexible: appear to be polite, serious, and sober, rarely “loose” or jocular. -Morally righteous and upstanding: see themselves as “good people” -Often judgmental: see others as “not such good people” -After the violence, people say that they never expected it, “he always seemed like such a nice guy; he was always so quiet” The Hurt and Resentful -Feel that people walk on them and that they are never treated fairly -When they are passed over, there is always someone else to blame -Things are easier for everyone else: other people get more and have more advantages. -They are often whiners and complainers, as a matter of attitude. -Violence occurs because they hold grudges and are “impotent” to deal with their anger in other ways. The Traumatised -Aggression occurs in response to a single, massive assault on their identity -Something happens that is potently offensive, absolutely intolerable, and which strips them of all sense of personal power -The essence of their existence (or their manhood) will be destroyed if they do not respond -Violence is predictable & preventable The Obsessive -Immature and narcissistic individuals who demand or crave attention and affection. -Absolutely cannot stand to be deprived of desired gratifications, like a baby who cries because mother removes the breast. -When deprived of love, they continue crying: repeated phone calls, following the object of their obsession, etc. -Violence because: “if I can’t have her, nobody can.” ... or: “if she won’t have me, she won’t have anything.” The Paranoid -Jealous Type: Delusionally believes their lover is unfaithful -Persecuted Type: Delusionally believes that people are out to get him -Typically engage in behaviors which make their paranoid beliefs come true -Delusions may reach the point at which the person is grossly out of contact with reality (may be insane). The Insane -Rare: does not understand the nature and quality of their actions. -More typical: fundamental misperceptions of reality, incapable of rational behaviour, delusional beliefs deprive them of the ability to know that their behaviour is wrong, beliefs and perceptions are incongruent with reality. -Twisted, psychotic beliefs about what is right, what is wrong, and what is necessary. The Just Plain Bad & Angry -A combination of most of the above (except for insane): angry, hostile, jealous, resentful, impotent, and disturbed individuals, who are socially isolated, socially inadequate, and who feel worthless -May be seeking attention -May be seeking revenge My question(s) my fellow Nairalanders are:-__ Can you kill or be violent (a fellow human...if given the right amount of provocation)? __Have you ever been involved in a violent act (as a victim / offender) ? __which of the above describes(eb) you? __How did you feel after the display of violence.

She created another thread The Paranoid I think these points can actually drive insane person to commit murder. Stories of Lovers killing each other is common in our society today. Last week I read a story in a Newspaper with similar story and it's because of "Jealousy" |

Yes. ive been opportuned to watch a couple of crime investigation documentaries and the above mentioned personalities are all capable of murder especially the paranoid, the loners and the unusually quiet people. |
Re: Why Do People Kill? (A Typology On Violent Offenders) by Nobody: 4:27pm On Nov 03, 2014 |
The ObsessiveI was thinking this is nt enough reason to comit murder but then I remembered what happened to Linda Ikeji recently. If ayedee could do that, then he or anyone else could kill for the same reason And even if I had all the traits listed, I think it'll still be so impossible for me to kill. Whatever happened to conscience! |

The act or should I say art, yes Kachisbarbie killing is indeed an art, perfected thousands of year ago. The reasons varies, but I believe it just boils down to our basic nature: 'Man is an animal'. What kind of books do you read? |
Re: Why Do People Kill? (A Typology On Violent Offenders) by Nobody: 10:54pm On Nov 29, 2014 |

Kachisbarbie:Go for Tom Clancy, he writes mainly about espionage. John Grisham, he writes about crime/rape/murder basically with an interpretation and acute understanding of the american justice system, and yes John Grisham is a lawyer. Dean Koonz, he writes on horror, suspense and thriller. Eric Van Lustbader(my favourite) he writes basically on martial arts with suspense, thriller, Van Lustbader is a 2nd level Reiki master. His novels are basically oriental base. The wrote Ninja, White Ninja, Zero, Kaisho, Second Skin, Floating City, Siren etc. He's my personal favorite. Then there's Dan Brown. I believe you guys must have heard of him, due to his Da Vinci Code theory. These authors are my favorite. I've learnt a great deal reading their novels... |

Kachisbarbie:I'm a lover of crime/detective fictions, and also a huge fan of James Hardley Chase.. They keep you edgy, always wanting more ... You can try out these novels: 1. Danshiell Hammet-- The Maltese Falcon (reprinted edition). 2. Patricia Highsmith-- Strangers on a train.. 3. James M. Cain-- The Postman Always Rings Twice (reprinted edition).. 4. Gillian Flynn-- Gone Girl (a novel and movie based on s*x and crime).. 5. Collins Wilkie-- The Lady in White (based on romance and crime).. 6. Jim Thompson-- The Killer inside me.. 7. John Grisham's novels are also worth it, and quite easy to comprehend.. These are all I can remember now on crime related novels.. |

Kachisbarbie:---------Back to topic--------- These set of people, I consider the deadliest, especially when things are not done/going their way.. It's natural to be paranoid (I can be temperamental , though with words) but still, I try to draw it @ a point so I don't regret my action(s).. 1. No matter how provoked I am, I cannot (can't even think about it ) kill/ physically hurt a fellow being.. Huh!!! Whatever happens to forgiveness, and my conscience 2. Hmmmmm... I was once involved in an obsessive relationship (though as the victim, and a distant one), and I tell you, it wasn't funny .. It took a whole lot to finally pull out.. Those set of people, "FEAR THEM".. |
