"...The prosecution brought out the horrific statistics: of Thompson`s admitted forty-seven victims, half were under the age of seventeen, and only the Lord knew how many of them were psychologically scarred for life. He terrorized the victims in their own homes, beating them as well as sexually assaulting them. He planned each attack, from unscrewing lightbulbs to carrying gloves, and in later attacks began cleaning up after himself - removing evidence of the DNA he learned from the media the police were evaluating.

Thompson was sentenced to the highest penalty azvailable in New Zealand: thirty years in prison, with at least twenty-five served before consideration of release. ...

...no one wakes up one day and decides to be a serial rapist. There are recognizable warning signs, earlier offenses that should be seen by authorities as signposts of future danger.

When I talk about getting inside the mind of a violent offender, I`m talking about a process I`ve characterised as a "journey into darkness." If I allowed my personal feelings or belief system to get involved, my sense of right and wrong, my incredulity at what one so-called human being can do to another, I wouldn`t be able to see the crime from the criminal`s point of view and so wouldn`t be able to profile him based on his obsession, the way he sees the world.

... I can imagine, then, how horrific it must be for the victims of violent crime, who must instinctively and instantaneously go through the same process I do to profile their attackers in an attempt to survive.

...So many times I have heard women talk about what they would do to outsmart and/or escape a rapist or other sexual predator. But the truth is, until it happens to you, YOU CAN`T KNOW for certain what the best course of action will be. Until you are confronted with a specific rapist in a specific situation, you don`t know what type of animal you`ll be dealing with; what is an appropriate response to one rapist could be deadly with another.

THE GOAL IS SURVIVAL, AND I have tremendous respect for any rape victim who lives through the ordeal because, as hard to believe as it may seem to some, if you`re alive to tell about it, you`ve achieved a majory VICTORY. And the rape victim doens`t have the luxuary of assessing events from a distance, with the benefit of years of research: a rape victim must assess the TERRIFYING situation as it unfolds, analyzing instinctively what to do or say to get out alive.

I`m always outraged, for example, when I hear an opposing attorney or some other ex post facto commentator telling a victim from the safe remove of time and distance what he or she should have done in the heat and immediacy of a moment of life-threatening terror. Perhaps it`s my own perversity that I`d like to see that individual faced with the same situation himself and see how he`d react.

...It is a common reaction to the violation of being raped to consider not reporting the crime, to try to act as though it never happened and hope the horrible memories, shame, fear, and anger will fade. In addition to their own emotions, victims often balance reactions from friends, associates, coworkers, and FAMILY MEMBERS in making their decision whether to report the incident. ...

...She may worry others won`t see her the same way again or that they will BLAME HER, MAKING HER FEEL EVEN MORE VULNERABLE AND INSECURE...PP61-62

...Rape is unlike most other types of crime in that without specialized training or experience, you`re not going to be able to recognise the specific motivation of the offender and be able to identify the kind of person you`re looking for. What motivates the rapist is so individual compared to that of, sya a burglar, bank robber, or car thief. If a guy robs a convenience store at gunpoint, for example, and leaves without hurting anyone once he gets his money, it`s pretty clear what he`s after.

Although in general we know that rapists are looking to manipulate, dominate, and control others, it takes careful analysis of the rapist`s behaviour during the assault to figure out what type of offender he is. Behaviour reflects personality, and in the case a rapist, analysing what he does and says tells you a lot about who he is.

pp673-64
As a profiler, I want to know how he CONTROLS his VICTIM, whether he physically beats her or is APOLOGETIC ABOUT RAPING HER, whether he gains access by conning her or by a surprise attack in the middle of the night.

How does he rape her and what, if anything, does he say before, during, and after the attack? and these questions are just a broad beginning to the information we need to put together for a viable profile.

If the officer interviewing the rape victim isn`t trained to ask about this in detail, many victims are too traumatised, embarrassed, and frightened to think of everything. They are likely still in shock over the assault. ...

THIS TYPE TENDS to be a loner who fantasises that his victim is actually enjoying the experience and might even fall in love with him as a result. He may even contact the victim afte the attack and ask her to go out with him. Of course, the reality of the rape can`t live up to his fantasies: p105

THE SADISTIC RAPIST Is in many ways the most dangerous sexual predator of all. The purpose of his attack is to live out his sadistic sexual fantasies on the unwilling victim. With this type, sexual fantasy and aggression merge, which is why he`s also referred to as an anger-excitation rapist. Aggression and sadistic fantasy feed on each other, so as the level of aggression rises, so does his level of arousal. His aggression is not anger-based as it is with the previous category. In fact, he can be quite charming and seductive as he lures his intended prey into his web.

HE IS COMPLETELY SELF-CENTERED. The only thing he cares about is his own pleasure and satisfaction. He simply GETS OFF ON HURTING PEOPLE ON HAVING THEM IN HIS POWER. ...

...HE WILL OFTEN CUT OR TEAR OFF THE VICTIM`S CLOTHING BECAUSE HE FIGURES SHE WILL NOT NEED IT ANYMORE AFTER HE HAS FINISHED WITH HER.

...THE victim is merely there as an actress in his self-scripted drama, and her role is to show FEAR AND RESPOND IN PAIN.

PP109-110

The sadistic rapist anticipates his crime, in fact has perfected his MO over his criminal career.

...

...the attack will tend to be highly symbolic. There will be no REMORSE because the rapist has totally de-personalised his victim; he doesn`t even think of her as a HUMAN BEING. ...

...He wants his victim to suffer...

The sadistic type is usually white, with above-normal intelligence, and may be college-educated with a good middle-class job. He will have a dominant personality and collect bondage and sadomasochistic pornography. He may also collect related items, such as knives, guns, or NAZI memorabilia, and read military, law enforcements, or survivalist literature. He may have a large attack-type dog such as a GERMAN shepherd doberman, or rottweiler. Because of his intelligence and planning, he will be difficult to apprehend.

ARE YOU STILL SINGING?

ONCE upon a time there was a man who came to my house, he said "I don`t know what to do, my wife doesn`t want me anymore..."

that man after two weeks shot himself in front of the Crucifix in the grounds of a certain church.

I guess God must have told him,

"Shoot yourself in front of me, so that they can come and clean up the mess that they have created. You are now a zombie, you are useless for life..."

that man was driven to crazyness by his own family, and church and surroundings, I still can hear his words in my ears "my wife doesn`t want me anylonger..."
but I still can hear the words of his mother when she was alife

"Remember, that my son is much younger than you. You may be making a mistake..."

She wasn`t making a mistake.

She wanted that man so that she could come to Australia, bring her whole family

and then study and better herself at the expense of daddy dear... And once she achieved her education

and reached her goal there was no reason of living peacefully with him.
