VIOLACONES SERIALES NO
Por definicin, el violador serial es un criminal exitoso, porque la aplicacin de ley falla en
la manera de conectar sus crmenes, falla en entender sus motivos, y falla posteriormente en
identificarlo y capturarlo. Se ha demostrado que el violador en serie, como un delincuente
sexual de carrera, desarrolla con el tiempo cualquier nmero de medios para mantener su
identidad desconocida y evadir la deteccin por la aplicacin de la ley (Hazelwood[21]). El
violador serial sabe posicionarse para la actividad de violacin, participar en la violacin
sin ninguna preocupacin por la ley.
El perfil de conducta puede considerarse un arma forense. Es, sin embargo, no la nica
herramienta forense que debe ser usada en el curso de una investigacin sobre una serie de
violaciones sin resolver. Cualquier perfil conductual es tan bueno como el laboratorio que
recogi y examin la evidencia fsica, como los investigadores encargados con los que
actan y extrapolando informacin proporcionada por el perfil conductual. Adems, un
perfil del comportamiento no puede compensar la falta de habilidad investigativa, como
requiere habilidad investigativa para compilar y ejecutar. No promete respuestas psquicas y
no puede garantizar la identificacin positiva y completa de sospechosos, sus principales
funciones son ayudar al investigador con el desarrollo de posibles sospechosos, demostrar
comprensin en los motivos del delincuente, estrategia investigativa centrada, y ayudar con
el procesamiento del delincuente.
En 1985, Liebert[32] escribi un artculo sugiriendo que las motivaciones sexuales de un
asesino serial o de otros criminales sexuales seriales eran muy complejos de entender para
el FBI y otras agencias de la ley. Dijo en concreto que elaboracin de perfiles de ciencia
del comportamiento puede ser superficial, fenomenolgica y, tal vez, lo que es peor, una
distraccin . Liebert concluy adems que slo la coalicin de investigadores bien
formados de una agencia de aplicacin de la ley con un consultor psiquitrico podra
reducir los desvos de investigacin de despilfarro en los casos de delitos sexuales en serie.
Los mtodos investigativos y las iniciativas de formacin han mejorado mucho desde la
redaccin de este artculo, pero la actitud de la comunidad de salud mental por s sola tiene
conocimientos especiales en los motivos de fantasa de un delincuente sexual, que son
imposibles de obtener por el investigador criminal entrenado. A la luz del hecho de que los
psiquiatras siguen sin predecir con precisin la peligrosidad de dos de cada tres de sus
Investigative methods and training initiatives have been enhanced a great deal since the
writing of that article, but the attitude that the mental health community alone has special
insights into the fantasy motives of a sex offender, that are unobtainable by the trained
criminal investigator, pervades. In light of the fact that psychiatrists still fail to accurately
predict offender dangerousness for two out of every three of their patients, even where
those offenders have a history of violent behavior (Starrs et al[40]), this author finds that
notion of special insight wholly misplaced. The mental health community does not have a
monopoly on the ability to understand the fantasy motives of serial sex offenders and to
make subsequent investigative assertions based thereon.
Profiling is one tool among many, like blood-splatter interpretation or wound pattern
analysis, that can be successfully applied by a trained investigator. It's a form of pattern
analysis and should be perceived no differently by those who require it or those who use it
for investigating serial rape. Blood splatter analysis can tell investigators the order, number
and direction of blows that a sadistic or anger-retaliatory rapist gives his victims from castoff patterns on his basement ceiling. Wound pattern analysis can tell investigators whether
or not the slashes on a rape victims arm where self-inflicted. As part of a serial rape
investigation, behavioral profiling assists in sorting out complex offender behaviors and
expressions so that the fantasy motive and MO can be reconstructed.
OBJECTIVES
The chief goal of this work is to provide law enforcement investigators with an objective
profiling tool for investigating serial rapes, with a key assumption being that investigators
are capable of being objective. While some behavioral profiling can still have the
shortcomings that Liebert[32] mentions, a carefully constructed behavioral profile objective
to the sex offender's point of view can be invaluable to an investigation into serial sex
crimes for which there are no suspects and no apparent motives.
This work will focus on two of the primary roles played by behavioral profiling when
applied to a series of unsolved rapes; the development of potential suspects, and
understanding fantasy motives. First, it will discuss linkage blindness[43], and the necessity
of developing initiatives to overcome linkage blindness[43] to successfully begin
investigation into a serial rape case. Second, it will discuss what is meant by the term
behavior evidence, and the different types of behavior evidence that can be relevant in a
serial rape investigation. Third, it will discuss the crime scene signature of the serial rapist
and his flexible MO. Fourth, it will discuss a comprehensive rapist typology and motive as
painstakingly researched and developed by the FBI's NCAVC and many others. Fifth, it
will conclude by discussing investigatively relevant inferences that can be made about
potential suspects from behavior evidence as defined in the previous sections, with specific
examples of each.
to acknowledge occurrences or instances of serial sex crime within their own jurisdictions
or those that neighbor them(Holmes et al[26]).
A Serial Rapist, for the purposes of this work, will be defined as a rapist who has raped two
or more victims on different dates. The adjustment of this number down from three or more
rapes is an attempt to address linkage blindness[43], and to help set the stage for a proactive
mindset in what are typically reactive investigations. What is rape #1 for Law Enforcement
Jurisdiction X, may be the sex offender's sixth rape. Waiting until there are three rape
victims before investigative initiatives escalate to measuring, anticipating and acting upon
potential offender behavior is entirely misplaced, considering potential offender mobility
and jurisdictional communication problems.
Gerbert [16] nos ofrece una excelente definicin de vinculacin ciega [43]: un fallo de
investigacin para reconocer un patrn que vincula un crimen con otro crimen en una serie
de casos a travs de la victimologa, regin geogrfica o rea de eventos, la firma del
delincuente y una revisin de protocolos de autopsia. La devastacin individual y comunal
que es el efecto neto de una violacin hace una vinculacin ciega particularmente
angustiante. Para el investigador de violaciones en serie, sin embargo, igualmente
devastador es la prdida de la oportunidad de reunir las pruebas de comportamiento,
ignorado en las primeras violaciones, que podra centrarse en estrategias de investigacin, y
potencialmente prevenir delitos posteriores.
Otros contribuyentes importantes a la vinculacin ciega son mucho menos libres de culpa,
incluyendo la incompetencia para resolver conflictos inter jurisdiccionales, y la negativa
pura y simple de hacer cumplir la ley para reconocer ocurrencias o instancias de delito
sexual en serie dentro de sus propias jurisdicciones( Holmes et al [26 ] ) .
Un violador en serie , a los efectos de este trabajo , se define como un violador que ha
violado a dos o ms vctimas en diferentes fechas . El ajuste de este nmero de tres o ms
violaciones es un intento de abordar la vinculacin ciega [ 43 ] , y para ayudar a establecer
el escenario para una mentalidad proactiva en lo que son normalmente las investigaciones
reactivas . Esperar hasta que hay tres vctimas de violacin antes de iniciativas de
investigacin se intensifican a medida, anticipar y actuar sobre el comportamiento potencial
delincuente est totalmente fuera de lugar , teniendo en cuenta la movilidad delincuente
potencial y los problemas de comunicacin de jurisdiccin.
La consecuencia de esta definicin es que, hasta que se establezca lo contrario, todas las
violaciones deben ser investigadas como si fueran parte de una serie de evitar fallas en la
recoleccin de pruebas de comportamiento.
La solucin a los conflictos de competencia es un grupo de trabajo. Si cada agencia est
jugando en contra de otro, entonces el nico ser ayudado es el violador en serie. Incumbe a
los directores de las agencias para conseguir sus investigadores juntos en el mismo equipo
de trabajo hacia un objetivo comn de compartir toda su informacin. Cualquier cosa
menos que pone agencias en competencia unos con otros y prev la ceguera vinculacin en
behavior. It's what the perpetrator does to commit the crime. It is dynamic - that is, it can
change. Signature...is what the perpetrator has to do to fulfill himself. It is static; it does not
change." Thiel[41], offers another insight into signature, saying, "You should ask yourself
what the offender did at that crime scene that he did not have to do". Signature, it should be
understood, is a product of the offender's fantasy[6]. It will give insight into the fantasy
motive, and it will be of help when determining if two seemingly unconnected rapes were
committed by the same rapist.
Example:
A rapist has a fantasy that involves kidnapping adolescent schoolgirls, raping them, and
pinching their nipples with pliers while harnessing their mouths with a horses bridle. He
also wants to audio tape the victims screams so that he can play it back to later victims,
something he believes will induce extreme fear. Over time he develops an MO as follows:
he gets a van, sound-proofs it, gets an audio tape recorder, and begins to cruise in the
neighborhoods near public middle schools at precisely the time each day that school is let
out.
con la clara excepcin de los trabajos de Investigacin de Homicidios prctica crtica de
Vernon menos que el estilo objetivo, volver a contar en detalle grfico los horrores
cometidos por lotes de los mismos delincuentes sexuales seriales violentos popularizado.
Casi en competencia directa con los libros de pasta escritos por autores de crmenes
verdaderos, estas obras dejan mucho que desear en el camino de analizar objetivamente
conocida resuelto crmenes en serie y ofreciendo interpretaciones tiles de motivacin. Ms
decepcionante, el material verdaderamente til en estas obras se expresa profundamente en
la retrica moral.
La definicin precisa de una firma, sin embargo a menudo se infiere, en general sigue
siendo vaga y difcil de alcanzar en la literatura. La mejor definicin especfica del trmino
se ofreci por el hombre que vino originalmente con el concepto de la firma, John Douglas
[12]. Muy apropiadamente, yuxtapone la definicin de MO y firma:.. "Modus operandi MO - es un comportamiento aprendido Es lo que hace el autor a cometer el crimen Es
dinmico - es decir, que puede cambiar de firma ... es lo que el. perpetrador tiene que hacer
para cumplir con el propio Es esttica;. no cambia ". Thiel [41], ofrece otra visin de la
firma, diciendo: "Usted debe preguntarse lo que hizo el delincuente en la escena del crimen
que l no tena que hacer". Firma, se debe entender, es un producto de la fantasa del
ofensor [6]. Dar una idea de los motivos de fantasa, y que ser de ayuda para determinar
si dos violaciones aparentemente inconexos fueron cometidos por el mismo violador.
El MO, sin embargo, cambia con el tiempo, con la experiencia y la confianza, la
satisfaccin de las necesidades de la conducta violacin. Se va a evolucionar para permitir
que el comportamiento de la fantasa, y lo que funciona y lo seguir siendo falla no se
repetir a trabajar [6]. De esta manera, la violacin es un aula para el violador, ensendole
lo que funciona y lo que no lo har.
Ejemplo:
Un violador tiene una fantasa que implica colegialas adolescentes secuestros , violaciones ,
y pellizcar sus pezones con pinzas. Tambin quiere una cinta de audio de las victmas
gritando para que pueda escuchar d nuevo ms adelante a la victmas, algo que l cree que
va a inducir miedo extremo. Con el tiempo se desarrolla un MO de la siguiente manera: se
pone una camioneta, consigue una grabadora de audio, y comienza en los cruceros en los
barrios cercanos a las escuelas medias pblicas.
La firma en este ejemplo sera la naturaleza particular, brutal de la tortura que el volador
quiere infligir a la victima. l tambin tiene una propensin a los pezones, por lo que
tambin deben ser considerados parte de su firma. Si se reproduce una cnta de audio de una
victima anterior a una victima actual, esto tambin sera parte de su firma. Adems el uso
de una brida para caballos o algo con que restringr la boca de la victima tendran que ser
incluidos. Estos son ejemplos de comportamientos que l desea hacer, que se toma el
tiempo para hacerlo, que l no tene que hacer para lograr la violacin. Todos ellos son ,
tambin, por el mismo tema : la produccin de una respuesta combinacin miedo / dolor en
la vctima. Esta firma , un agregado de todos los que la conducta sdica , es producto de
una rica e intensa vida de fantasa sdica .
The signature in this example would be the particular, brutal nature of the torture the rapist
wants to inflict on the victim. He also has a propensity for nipples, so that also must be
considered part of his signature as well. If he played back an audio tape of a previous
victim to a current victim, this would also be part of his signature. Additionally, the use of a
horses bridle, or something restricting the victims mouth would have to be included. These
are examples of behaviors that he desires to do, that he takes time to do, that he does not
need to do to accomplish the rape. They are all, also, of the same theme: producing a
combination fear/ pain response in the victim. This signature, an aggregate of all of that
sadistic behavior, is a product of a rich and intense sadistic fantasy life.
The MO in this example is comprised of the facilitating behaviors and instruments. The
MO would include the use of the sound proof van, the location selection, the time of day,
and the acquisition of a tape recorder. Another important aspect of the MO is the need to
find someplace safe to drive the van where he can park it undisturbed for several hours
while he tortures the young girl. Any of these elements will change as flaws or
circumstance fluctuate, or as the offender learns and becomes more proficient.
The relationship of the rapist's signature to the rapist's MO provides a useful classification
for two types of behaviors that deserve close attention in serial rapes; Fantasy Oriented,
which address the motive for the rape, and Modus Operandi Oriented, which are functional
behaviors serving the successful completion of the rape. It must be understood, however,
that the MO behaviors not only facilitate but can also later contribute to the expression of
the fantasy behaviors over time and experience. In other words, the MO is developed over
time by the offender to satisfy and contribute to the specific needs of the fantasy behavior
which is the motive for the rapes.
Example:
An unknown subject rapes a woman in her home, using a rope garrote to control her while
he rapes her, causing little or no other physical damage. The offense takes 10 or 15 minutes
and then the offender leaves through the back door of the residence which shows signs of
forced entry. Over the next two months, two more rapes are committed by the same rapist
with roughly the same MO, each taking about ten to fifteen minutes, bringing the total
rapes to three. Investigators are able to make the connections right away because of DNA
evidence collected at the various scenes, and because they are all committed within a
twenty block radius in the same suburb. During rape number three, it is noted, the victim
struggled a great deal and very heavy ligature furrows are observed on her neck. A week
later, a fourth victim emerges. The fourth victim explains in her statement how the offender
brought her in and out of consciousness intentionally using a rope garrote, and how the
offender spent almost an hour with her. DNA evidence is unavailable for this fourth rape.
Law enforcement decide to conduct a profile in the hopes of linking the rapes and
developing investigative strategy. The question arises: is victim number four related?
Un sujeto desconocido viola a una mujer en su casa, utilizando un garrote cuerda para
controlar ella mientras l la viola, causando poco o ningn otro dao fsico. El delito tarda
10 o 15 minutos y luego el delincuente sale por la puerta de atrs de la residencia, que
muestra signos de entrada forzada. Durante los prximos dos meses, dos ms violaciones
son cometidas por el mismo violador con ms o menos el mismo modus operandi, cada uno
tomando unos diez a quince minutos, y las violaciones en total a tres. Los investigadores
son capaces de hacer las conexiones de inmediato debido a las pruebas de ADN recogidas
en las distintas escenas, y porque todos ellos estn comprometidos dentro de un radio de
veinte bloque en el mismo barrio. Durante violacin nmero tres, se observa, la vctima
luch mucho y surcos ligaduras muy pesados se observan en el cuello. Una semana
despus, una cuarta vctima emerge. La cuarta vctima explica en su declaracin de cmo el
delincuente le trajo dentro y fuera de la conciencia intencional utilizando un garrote cuerda,
y cmo el agresor pas casi una hora con ella. Las pruebas de ADN no est disponible para
esta cuarta violacin. Aplicacin de la ley decide realizar un perfil con la esperanza de
vincular las violaciones y el desarrollo de la estrategia de investigacin. Surge la pregunta:
esta la vctima nmero cuatro relacionada?
En igualdad de condiciones, esto es lo mismo delincuente. Lo que ha ocurrido es que el
autor del delito, con el tiempo, ha erotizado el uso del garrote. Durante las primeras
violaciones, el garrote era un medio para adquirir y mantener el control de la vctima (MO
Oriented). Con el tiempo y la experiencia, el delincuente desarroll un deseo sexual de
estrangular a sus vctimas mientras violarlas (Fantasa Oriented). Esto no es sorprendente
dada la fuerte asociacin del garrote con el acto de violacin durante los primeros ataques.
La presencia de un objeto o de comportamiento durante el sexo puede conducir fcilmente
a ella de erotizacin y la inclusin en la fantasa y el comportamiento posteriormente
fantasa.
B.
DISTINGUISHING THE BEHAVIOR EVIDENCE
Behavior evidence, for the purposes of this work, will be defined as any act or omission of
act indicative of a general or specific pattern of behavior, or indicative of a general or
specific intent. The legal suggestion of this term is imperative, because it directs that, just
like physical evidence according to Lee[30], behavior evidence should be recognized,
documented, collected, identified, compared, individualized, and reconstructed. Behavior
evidence is a form of pattern evidence (Burgess et al[6], [30]). Failure to recognize and
document offender behaviors is a failure to collect pattern evidence, and failure to collect
any evidence is negligent.
The most common objective sources of behavior evidence are going to be, but are not by
any means limited to:
Crime scene documentation (i.e. maps, blueprints, sketches, photos and video
Physical evidence and subsequent documentation (i.e. photos and actual evidence
The behaviors that a serial rapist uses in the preparation and commission of his rapes are
evidence that can be used to classify and even identify him because of their collective
uniqueness[5]. The investigator begins with a universal set of offender characteristics, and
then begins to ask questions about offender behavior that develop the unique set of
characteristics. This process of going from the universal set to the unique set of offender
characteristics begins with the recognition and collection of the above types of behavior
evidence, and is the absolute cornerstone of behavioral profiling.
Some important kinds of serial rapist behaviors are listed below (Burgess et al[2], Burgess
et al[5], Geberth[15], Hazelwood et al[22], [30]). The list is useful for reference, but mostly
demonstrates what is meant by the term behavior evidence, and the difference between MO
Oriented and Fantasy Oriented behaviors :
Como Keppel [29] notas en su reciente publicacin que abarca el aspecto de la firma de la
delincuencia violenta en serie, el MO contiene slo los comportamientos necesarios para
cometer el crimen. Esos
comportamientos pueden cambiar a medida que el violador aprende y descubre mtodos
ms beneficiosos. Cualquier cosa hecha que va ms all de la delincuencia debe centrarse
en por los investigadores con el propsito de establecer vnculos entre las violaciones y el
establecimiento de la fantasa motivo del violador.
DISTINGUIR LA EVIDENCIA DE COMPORTAMIENTO
Prueba de comportamiento para efectos de este trabajo, se define como cualquier acto u
omisin de acto indicativo de un patrn general o especifico de comportamiento, o
indicativo de una intencin general o especifica. La sugerencia legal de este trmino es
imperativa , porque dirige a esta, al igual que las pruebas fsica de acuerdo con Lee la
evidencia del comportamiento debe ser reconocida, documentada, recogida, identificada,
comparada, indivizualizada y reconstruida. Pruebas de comportamiento es una forma de
pruebas patrn (Burgess et al [6], [30]). El no reconocer y documentar los comportamientos
delincuentes es un fracaso para reunir pruebas patrn, y el no recoger cualquier prueba es
negligente.
Las fuentes objetivas ms comunes de pruebas comportamiento van a ser, pero no son de
ninguna manera se limitan a:
1.
I. FANTASY ORIENTED
A. GENERAL
1. Rape kit(is there one? content?)
2.Victim/victimology (age, occupation, activity, physical traits, history)
3.Language used/conversation (script)
4. Items taken from the crime scene or victim
B. SEXUAL
1. Foreplay/ fondling
2.Sexual acts
3. Nature of sexual acts (rough/submissive/protected etc.)
4. Order of sexual acts
5. Ejaculation (Yes or no/ where?)
C. PHYSICAL
1. Damage/injuries to the victim
2. Nature of the force used
3. Offender response to victim resistance
4. Victim bondage
A.LOCATION
1. Methods of gaining entry to a premises
2. Offense occurrence variables (day of week/time/interval)
3. Primary or secondary scene(how was the body moved?)
profile typology that is fairly objective to the offender's point of view. Although it does not
provide a dynamic scale which measures a rapist over time, it is an excellent way to assess
a rapist at a particular moment. The typology provides a psychological snapshot of a rapist
during an instance from which some reliable inferences can be made. Perhaps, if applied
over time and several rape offenses, it may provide insight into both solved and unsolved
dynamic rapist behavior.
The following are the five different rapist types as defined by A. Nicholas Groth[19], as
developed by Marshall et al[34], as defined by the NCAVC in the Crime Classification
Manual[6], as developed in articles published by the NCAVC regarding serial rape
(Burgess[3], [5], [9], [10], [21], [22], [23]), as presented by S.A. Max Thiel(ret.)[41], and as
discussed most recently by Holmes et al[26]. The five different rapist types outlined in this
work are: Power Reassurance, Power Assertive, Anger Retaliatory, Anger Excitation,
and Opportunistic.
When applying this typology to solved or unsolved serial rape cases, the investigator will
invariably notice that actual rapists are not generally represented by the typology in pure
form. It is most likely that a rapist will fit into more than one of the categories below. What
the investigator must discern is what characteristics the offenders have, and then decide
which typology best represents a particular rapist, all the while with an eye to potential
future behavior based on the recognizable overlapping. For example, a Power Assertive
rapist could develop over time into an Anger Excitation rapist. The potential for that could
be measured by Anger Excitation behaviors identified in early rapes, and watching them
evolve from incidence to incidence, as the rapist gains confidence and experience.
Included below are the traits of each rapist type with specific examples meant to
demonstrate key behaviors of each:
I. Power Reassurance
(AKA Compensatory)
Method of attack: Surprise
A. Fantasy Behavior
1.Verbal/Script
-Reassures victim he does not wish to harm her
-"You're beautiful, I bet you have a lot of boyfriends
ese sentido, cada caso de violacin de serie es un saln de clases con los investigadores, ya
que de los estudiantes.
TIPOLOGA Y FANTASA MOTIVO
Durante la ltima dcada , el Centro Nacional para el Anlisis de Crmenes Violentos
( NCAVC ) y aquellos asociados con l del FBI han generado algunos de los trabajos ms
profundo de la naturaleza de los violadores en serie que existen en cualquier lugar en la
literatura profesional . Uno de los logros ms tiles de su investigacin ha sido el desarrollo
continuo de un perfil violador tipologa que es bastante objetiva al punto de vista del
delincuente . A pesar de que no proporciona una escala dinmica que mide un violador con
el tiempo , es una excelente manera de evaluar un violador en un momento determinado .
La tipologa proporciona una visin psicolgica de un violador en una instancia desde la
cual se pueden hacer algunas inferencias confiables . Tal vez, si se aplica a travs del
tiempo y de varios delitos de violacin , puede dar una idea tanto del comportamiento
dinamico resuelto y sin resolver del violador.
Los siguientes son los cinco tipos violador diferentes definidos por A. Nicholas Groth [19],
como el desarrollado por Marshall et al [34], tal como se define por el NCAVC en la
Clasificacin Crimen Manual [6], como se desarrolla en los artculos publicados por el
NCAVC respecto violacin de serie (Burgess [3], [5], [9], [10], [21], [22], [23]), presentado
por SA Max Thiel (ret.) [41], y como se discute ms recientemente por Holmes et al [26].
Los cinco tipos diferentes violador se describen en este trabajo son: poder tranquilizante ,
poder asertivo, ira vengativa, ira excitativa y oportunista.
Al aplicar esta tipologa de los casos de violacin en serie resueltos o no resueltos , el
investigador invariablemente notar que los violadores reales no estn representados
generalmente por la tipologa en forma pura. Es ms probable que un violador encajar en
ms de una de las categoras de abajo . Lo que el investigador debe discernir es lo que las
caractersticas de los delincuentes tienen , y luego decidir qu tipologa mejor representa a
un violador en particular , y luego decidir qu tipologa mejor representa a un violador en
particular , a la vez que con un ojo a la posible comportamiento futuro basado en la
superposicin reconocible. Por ejemplo , un violador de energa asertiva podra desarrollar
con el tiempo en un violador de
Ira excitativa.
A continuacin se incluyen las caractersticas de cada tipo de violador con ejemplos
especficos destinados a demostrar comportamientos clave de cada uno:
I. Poder Tranquilizante
(AKA Compensatoria )
Mtodo de ataque : Sorpresa
A. Comportamiento de la fantasa
1.Verbal / Guin
4. Participa en el voyeurismo
5. hace llamadas telefnicas obscenas
9. Attack will last short period of time: duration will increase with victim passivity
10. May take personal item; undergarment or photograph
11. Attacks are consistent, with need for reassurance
12. Locations of attacks will remain within same general vicinity
13. May keep a record of attacks
14. Most likely to terminate rape if victim resists
15. MAY RECONTACT THE VICTIM*
Example:[19]
A statement made by a Power Reassurance rapist regarding a conquest fantasy:
"The fantasies began with going to a bar and picking up a girl, and these changed to
increasingly more drastic attempts. I'd think about either going to big parking lots or to a
quiet area where there might be girls walking and confronting them. I began to have the
thought that perhaps sometime if I did this, that the woman would agree or perhaps almost
attack me - perhaps just my appearance or whatever would just turn her on and she would
almost literally attack me in a complete state of sexual excitement, that she would rape me
as if I were just what she had been waiting for. I would fantasize about confronting a girl
with a weapon, a knife or a gun, and that she would tell me that I didn't need it and that she
wanted me, and that she wanted me sexually. She would say, 'No, you don't need it, you
don't need a gun, you don't need any of this, you're enough.',".
*Note: This is the only type of rapist that may attempt to re-contact the victim after the
rape. He expected her to respond erotically to his advances. In his mind, she might be in
love with him and she has enjoyed the rape. From his point of view, it was more of a date
than a rape, and he may re-contact the victim for another date.
As pointed out in the CCM[6], the core fantasy motivating this rapist is that the victim will
enjoy and eroticize the rape, and subsequently fall in love with the rapist. This stems from
the rapist's own fears of personal inadequacy, hence the term commonly applied to this
rapist is "an inadequate personality." The rape is restorative of the offender's doubts about
himself, and therefore sexually and emotionally reassuring. It will occur as his need for that
kind of reassurance arises.
avances. En su mente, ella podra estar enamorada de l y que ha contado con la violacin.
Desde su punto de vista, se trata ms de una fecha de una violacin, y se puede volver a
ponerse en contacto con la vctima para otra fecha.
Como se seala en el MCP [6], la fantasa ncleo motivar este violador es que la vctima va
a disfrutar y erotizar la violacin, y posteriormente caer en el amor con el violador. Esto se
deriva de los propios temores del violador de inadecuacin personal, de ah el trmino
comnmente aplicado a este violador es "una personalidad inadecuada." La violacin es
II.Power Assertive
(AKA Exploitative rapist?)
Method of attack: Con or Surprise
A. Fantasy Behavior
1.Verbal/Script
-Does not generally want the victim to be verbally or otherwise involved in the rape
-Gives sexual instructions/commands
-His pleasure is primary
-Very "macho"
-Uses a great deal of profanity
-Demeans and humiliates the victim
-Language is offensive and abusive
-Verbally explicit about sex
-"Do what I say and you won't get hurt"
-"Shut up or I'll kill you"
2. Sexual Behavior
-He will do whatever he wants to the victim, sexually or otherwise
-No fondling or kissing or foreplay behavior
"All my life I felt I was being controlled, particularly by my parents, that people used me
without any regard for my feelings, for my needs, and in my rapes the important part was
not the sexual part, but putting someone else in the position in which they were totally
helpless. I bound and gagged and tied up my victims and made them do something they
didn't want to do, which was exactly the way I felt in my life. I felt helpless, very helpless in
that I couldn't do anything about the satisfaction I wanted. Well, I decided I'm going to put
them in a position where they can't do anything about what I want to do. The can't refuse
me. They can't reject me. They're going to have no say in the matter. I'm in charge now."
3. Comportamiento Fsico
-El Violador elegir lugares que sean convenientes y seguros
-l Va a participar en niveles moderados, excesivos o brutales de fuerza que aumentan la
resistencia vctima o su nivel de disfuncin sexual durante la ofensiva
-El Violador puede rasgar o desgarrar la ropa de la vctima
-El Violador puede participar en agresiones sexuales repetidas durante un ataque
B. MO comportamiento [19], [14]
-La Vctima puede ser pre-seleccionado o oportunista (demasiado buena para dejarla pasar)
- Rango de edad tiende a ser el mismo, puede variar en funcin de la oportunidad
- La vctima elegida por la disponibilidad, accesibilidad y vulnerabilidad
-La Ubicacin es dependiente de la vctima
- Arma puede participar, o sustituido con mayores niveles de fuerza
Agresin -fsica se utiliza para dominar inicialmente la vctima
- La vctima puede ser cautivo de alguna manera mientras era violada
Ejemplo: [19]
Una declaracin hecha por un violador Asertivo potencia con respecto a sus motivos de
violacin:
"Toda mi vida me sent que estaba siendo controlado, sobre todo por mis padres, que la
gente me utilizarse sin ninguna consideracin por mis sentimientos, de mis necesidades, y
en mis violaciones parte importante no era la parte sexual, pero poner a alguien ms en el
posicin en la que estaban totalmente indefenso. Me atado y amordazado y atado a mis
vctimas y les hizo hacer algo que no quieren hacer, que era exactamente lo que yo senta
en mi vida. Me senta impotente, muy impotente en que yo No pudo hacer nada la
satisfaccin que yo quera. Bueno, decid que voy a poner en una posicin en la que no
pueden hacer nada de lo que quiero hacer. El no me puede rechazar. No pueden rechazarme.
Ellos van a tener ni voz ni voto en el asunto. Yo estoy a cargo ahora ".
Este tipo de violador no tiene absolutamente ninguna duda sobre su idoneidad y la
masculinidad. De hecho, se utiliza la violacin como una expresin de su propia virilidad
masculina. En su percepcin, que es el ejercicio de su prerrogativa como hombre para
cometer violacin.
This type of rapist has absolutely no doubt about his own adequacy and masculinity. In fact,
he uses rape as an expression of his own male virility. In his perception, he is exercising his
prerogative as male to commit rape.
This rapist may grow more confident over time, as his egocentricity is very high. He may
begin to do things which might lead to his identification if fully investigated. Police may
interpret this as a sign that the rapist desires to be caught. What is actually true is that the
rapist has no respect for the police, has learned that he can rape without fear of
identification or capture, and subsequently does not take precautions that he has learned are
unnecessary.
It is not this rapist's desire to harm the victim, but to posses her sexually. Power over his
victim's sexuality is his means of expressing his mastery, strength, control, authority, and
identity to himself (psychologically compensatory). The goal of this rapist is sexual
conquest and control, and he will use only the force he deems necessary during a particular
rape to accomplish it.
B. MO Behavior
-Unplanned attack
-There is an immediate application of direct physical force to the victim; the
rapist attacks first, then continues into the rape as an extension of that attack
-Offenses are sporadic; occur anytime day or night (whenever he gets pissed off)
-Will use weapons of opportunity(found at scene)
-Victims are same age or older and must be women
-Duration of attack is very short
-There is a lot of anger evident in the crime scene
-Victims often know the rapist well, but can be victims who symbolize people the
rapist knows well

CONCLUSION
Behavioral profiling is one tool of many that can be utilized to investigate a series of
unsolved rapes when there are no suspects, and no understood motive. The most important
part of behavioral profiling is recognition, collection, and reconstruction of behavioral
evidence. Linkage blindness can prevent the collection of behavior evidence in early rapes.
To avoid linkage blindness, every rape investigation should take the attitude that it is part of
a series until it can be otherwise established. Additionally, future linkage blindness can be
avoided by the formation of task forces to promote information sharing and prevent
jurisdictional conflicts.
In distinguishing behavior evidence that has been recognized, it must be further determined
which behaviors are static(Fantasy Oriented signature behaviors) and which are
dynamic(MO Oriented learned behaviors). Also, the use of a rapist typology can give the
investigator a psychological/behavioral snapshot of the rapist during a given rape. This will
all provide for linking future rapes to the current series in absence of strong physical
evidence. It will also increase the investigator's understanding of the rapist's motivation and
potential future behavior.
Once all of these considerations have been tended to, investigatively relevant inferences
can be made about the rapist from the behavior evidence and the suspect pool can be
narrowed from the universal set to the unique set. Accomplishing this, investigative leads
can be developed where before there appeared to be none, and the investigation is likely to
stay the right track.
