The opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this document are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Department of Justice. 2 Aspects of this paper have previously been presented at the American Society of Criminology Annual Meeting in Washington DC, November 2015. 2 Abstract: This paper outlines the socio-demographic, developmental, antecedent attack, attack preparation and commission properties of 115 mass murderers between 1990 and 2014. The results indicate that mass murderer attacks are usually the culmination of a complex mix of personal, political and social drivers that crystalize at the same time to drive the individual down the path of violent action. We specifically focus upon areas related to prior criminal engagement, leakage and attack location familiarity. Whether the violence comes to fruition is usually a combination of the availability and vulnerability of suitable targets that suit the heady mix of personal and political grievances and the individual’s capability to engage in an attack from both a psychological and technical capability standpoint.

  • Mass Murder in the 21St Century
    Mass Murder in the 21st Century: From Assumptions to Truths Meredith L. Ille 3 Acknowledgements For my dear Mother, Mary Lou Ille, my best friend and staunchest supporter. There are not enough words to express my gratitude and love. For my thesis committee members: Chairperson Dr. Shawna Cleary, for inspiring this thesis and seeing it through to the end; Dr. Elizabeth Maier, for taking the time and having such patience; And Dr. Burle Steelman, for his willingness to help and going above and beyond the call of duty. 4 Table of Contents Abstract 5 Introduction 6 Literature Review 9 Hypotheses 39 Methods 40 Results 43 Discussion 50 Conclusions 57 References 59 5 Abstract Mass murder is the killing of four or more people in one incident. There is a national lack of awareness of the most predominant type of mass murder. This thesis hypothesized that the majority of mass murders in the United States are mass murder familicides. It is further hypothesized that most mass murder familicides are committed by Caucasian men in their 30s and 40s. Data from two sources were used: the USA Today Behind the Bloodshed database, and the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report Supplementary Homicide Report (SHR) for the years 2006- 2016. It was also necessary to use supplemental data from media accounts where data was missing or in doubt. Mass murder familicides were tallied from both databases. They were then categorized to determine if mass murder familicide was the most common form of mass murder, testing hypothesis one. Ages and race of offenders were then tallied to determine support for hypothesis two, that most offenders were Caucasian and in their 30s and 40s.

Previous researchers have found imitations of mass murderers which relate to suicide contagion, media contagion, and copycat effects; however, there remains a gap in the literature pertaining to the connection between copycat suicides of mass killers and the influence of social media.

  • Medico Legal Implications of Homicide Followed by Suicide
    Review article UDC: 616.89-008.44:340.6 doi:10.5633/amm.2019.0416 MEDICO LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF HOMICIDE FOLLOWED BY SUICIDE Stevan Todorović1, Aleksandra Antović1,2 Homicide followed by suicide, in the literature known as homicide-suicide (H-S), repre- sents a distinct entity of homicide phenomenon which implies the suicide of a perpetrator after killing one or more persons. Dyadic death (DD) belongs to a special subgroup of H-S and im- plies the suicide of a perpetrator after killing a single victim. The perpetrator is most often a man in his forties who commits suicide soon after killing his wife or intimate partner because of separation or alienation. The scientific literature has identified various categories of H-S and DD that include killing a victim followed by the suicide of a perpetrator as a part of marital violence caused by jealousy or anxiety due to growing old and/or poor health of marital partners, and more rarely as a part of family violence or when a parent kills his/her child and then him/ herself. Groups of the so-called extra-familial H-S include a mixed group of perpetrators com- posed of dissatisfied workers, members of different cults, religious or political groups who, as a rule, do not kill one, but more victims. Due to the number of victims, such cases do not fall into the DD category from a medico legal point of view. Acta Medica Medianae 2019;58(4):105-112.

  • German Mass Murderers and Their Proximal Warning Behaviors
    Journal of Threat Assessment and Management © 2019 American Psychological Association 2019, Vol. 6, No. 1, 1–22 2169-4842/19/$12.00 http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/tam0000122 German Mass Murderers and Their Proximal Warning Behaviors Mirko Allwinn and Jens Hoffmann J. Reid Meloy Institute Psychology and Threat Management, University of California, San Diego Darmstadt, Germany The main objective of this study was to analyze mass murder cases committed by adults from a threat assessment perspective, and to identify risk factors and proximal warning behaviors. Therefore, court records of 33 German mass murderers between 2000 and 2012 were systematically evaluated. One major focus was the comparison between psychotic and nonpsychotic offenders. Significant differences were found between the 2 groups regarding their choice of weapons, planning behavior, personal crises, per- sonality aspects, and warning behaviors. Nonpsychotic subjects were significantly more likely to evidence pathway warning behavior and directly threaten their targets before the attack when compared with the psychotic subjects. Effect sizes were medium to large. All offenders showed multiple proximal warning behaviors prior to their attacks. Findings are interpreted in light of previous studies and for the purpose of enhancing threat assessment protocols of such persons of concern. Public Significance Statement The study reveals the presence of warning signs in a representative sample of adult German mass murderers and relates the results to the research from the United States. A predisposition to commit an act of deadly violence was noticeable months, years, or even decades in advance in most of the cases, but the specific intent became apparent relatively late in the pathway toward violence, usually within days or weeks before the killings.

First, are tHe seven different Homicide event motives (gain, jealousy, revenge, conviction/hate, concealment, thrill, and love) qualitatively distinct from one anotHer in terms of tHeir situational attributes (tHat is, victim, offender, and offence cHaracteristics)? And second, if so, wHat are tHe situational cHaracteristics in common or unique to eacH of tHe seven motives? One Hundred and forty nine Australian Homicide cases from tHe Supreme Courts and HigH Court of Australia were collected and examined from tHe Australasian Legal Information Institute database.

  • The Lone-Actor Terrorist and the TRAP-18

Reid Meloy Paul Gill University of California, San Diego University College London An open source sample of 111 lone-actor terrorists from the United States and Europe were studied through the lens of the Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol (TRAP-18). This investigative template consists of 8 proximal warning behaviors and 10 distal characteristics for active risk management or active monitoring, respectively, by national security threat assessors. Several aspects of criterion validity were tested in this known outcome sample. Seventy percent of the terrorists were positive for at least half or more of the indicators. When the sample was divided into Islamic extremists, right-wing extremists, and single-issue terrorists, there were no significant differences across all 18 indicators except for 4. When the sample was divided according to successful versus thwarted attackers, the successful attackers were significantly more fixated, creative, and innovative, and failed to have a prior sexually intimate pair bond. They were significantly less likely to have displayed pathway warning behavior and be dependent on a virtual community of likeminded true believers. Effect sizes were small to medium (␾ϭ0.190–0.317). The TRAP-18 appears to have promise as an eventual structured professional judgment risk assessment instrument according to some of the individual terrorist content domains outlined by Monahan (2012, 2016). Keywords: terrorism, mass murder, targeted violence, threat assessment, risk assessment Lone-actor terrorism is considered a major Efforts to counter such violence, and to dis- national security threat in both North America tinguish between those who have the legally and Europe.

  • Mass Murderer: Part II, the Language of Revenge
    ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY The “Pseudocommando” Mass Murderer: Part II, The Language of Revenge James L. Knoll, IV, MD In Part I of this article, research on pseudocommandos was reviewed, and the important role that revenge fantasies play in motivating such persons to commit mass murder-suicide was discussed. Before carrying out their mass shootings, pseudocommandos may communicate some final message to the public or news media. These communications are rich sources of data about their motives and psychopathology. In Part II of this article, forensic psycholinguistic analysis is applied to clarify the primary motivations, detect the presence of mental illness, and discern important individual differences in the final communications of two recent pseudocommandos: Seung-Hui Cho (Virginia Tech) and Jiverly Wong (Binghamton, NY). Although both men committed offenses that qualify them as pseudocommandos, their final communications reveal striking differences in their psychopathology.
