Mapping the Life Course Trajectories of Serial Killers A Perfect Storm: Mapping the Life Course Trajectories of Serial Killers by Sasha Reid A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Applied Psychology and Human Development University of Toronto © Copyright by Sasha Reid, 2019 A Perfect Storm: Mapping the Life Course Trajectories of Serial Killers Sasha Reid PhD., Developmental Psychology Applied Psychology and Human Development University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Since the 1970s, scholars have produced a large body of research attempting to establish the mechanisms by which serial killers come to arrive at a life of repeat fatal violence. Traits such as psychopathy, biomarkers such as abnormal dopamine concentrations, and other developmental correlates such as early family environment have all been offered as proximal explanations for the motivations, psychopathology, and etiology of serial homicide. Unfortunately, however, from the standpoint of developmental psychology, these insights are far too limited in scope. Human thought, functioning, and behaviour are the product of complex reciprocal transactions that occur between the individual and their environment throughout their lifespan. Processes that serve to shape human development include neural plasticity, modifiability, resilience and adaptation, among others. Yet, these vital processes are never discussed in the developmental literature on serial homicide. Additionally, research in this area tends to lack the ‘voice of the killer.’ Instead of as active participants, offenders are viewed as objects of research and as passive participants in their own life experiences. Again, this is problematic from the standpoint of developmental psychology. Every person’s actions are formed by years of contextual experience which reinforce dominant patterns of thinking which eventually come to dominate behaviour. Thus, in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of human psychopathology, behaviour, and development one must also endeavor to understand how patterns of thought and/or behaviour ii were shaped, expressed, and reinforced throughout one’s lifespan. Embracing a developmental model that is complex, and dynamic, and that honors the multisystem aspects of human development is necessary should we hope to understand the motivations, psychopathology, and etiology of serial homicide. Using lifespan developmental psychology as a guiding framework, this paper traces the developmental mechanisms that come together to shape the lives and criminal trajectories of serial killers. iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my deep gratitude to Dr. Rick Volpe, my research supervisor, for his patient guidance, enthusiastic encouragement, and useful comments and critiques; all of which have added significantly to this dissertation. Beyond my appreciation for his general guidance I would like to extend my deep gratitude to Dr. Volpe for enabling me to study, explore, and learn with freedom. Every step of the way Dr. Volpe encouraged my various passions, helped facilitate my many tangential intellectual sojourns, and pushed me to embrace developmental complexity in its fullest thereby allowing both myself and my dissertation to achieve their full potential. I would also like to thank Dr. William Watson for his valued input, advice, and assistance and for helping to keep my progress on schedule. Dr. Watson was invaluable for helping to bring clarity and nuance to this dissertation. Throughout my doctoral degree Dr. Watson reframed difficult concepts and constructs in a way that allowed me to better understand and thereby to make better use of complex material; theories; and ideas. My grateful thanks are also extended to Dr. Katreena Scott for her help in ensuring that my dissertation was always grounded. Whilst Dr.’s Volpe and Watson helped to facilitate big idea development, Dr. Scott enabled this dissertation to remain focused and analytical. Dr. Scott’s valuable contributions challenged me to embrace a pragmatic approach to research and analysis; a necessary approach that, while I often struggle with, am all the better for having learned. As I reflect on your collective contributions, I can only say that I truly feel as though I found the doctoral “Dream Team” of supervisory/committee members. iv I would also like to extend my deepest thank you to the passionate, dedicated, and a ceaselessly curious research assistants I have worked alongside throughout my time at the University of Toronto. Ayah Ellithy, Aleece Katan, Ran Della Stua, Florence Tang, Cassandra Geisel, Javiera Gutierrez Duran, and many others – thank you. Finally, I wish to thank my partner, Roman Reznikov for his inexhaustible support and encouragement. v Table of Contents Acknowledgements………………………..………………………………………….……...… iv List of Tables………………………………..……………………………………..….….…… xiii List of Figures……………………………………………..…………………….……..……… xiv List of Images……………………………………………………………....…………….…… xv List of Appendices……………………………………………………………………....…….. xvi Chapter 1.

SWINTON ON THE AUTHENTICATION OF DIGITAL IMAGES∗ Catherine Guthrie∗∗ Brittan Mitchell∗∗∗ I. INTRODUCTION “[T]he machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.”1 Nowhere is this more apparent than in the struggle between rules of law and scientific and technological advances. Our court system’s response to this challenge is scrutiny and adaptability, two traits evidenced by the ebb and flow of requirements for authentication of digital images. This Article examines the evolution of authentication re- quirements for digital images, with particular emphasis on the impact of State v. Swinton.2 Part II of this Article provides an overview of digital images as well as the general rationale for their authentication. Part III reviews past statutory and common law rules for establishing the authenticity of such evidence. Part IV summarizes Swinton, a 2004 case from Connecticut which represents a major development in this area of law. Part V ap- plies the holding from Swinton to a new type of digital evidence, virtual autopsies, in a theoretical context. The Article concludes in Part VI. ∗ © 2007, Catherine Guthrie and Brittan Mitchell.

HECHT ., A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ENGLISH 3 2 tJLf;;.../f;).. I UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 1994 ABSTRACT Otto Rank, more than just psychologist, psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst, was a compassionate human being. The humanity reflected in his work is the subject of this dissertation and I have shown how his ideas can illuminate historical figures and fictional characters in literature and film. Chapter one examines Rank's "fine line" in order to outline the difficult path that all must travel in life, and some of the methods that are chosen to cope with experience. To Rank, this is a balancing act between acts of creative will and choices influenced by anxiety, guilt, and fear of life and death. Rank claims that the only vital factor in life is the human factor and that human understanding is more important than intellectual knowledge, because it is emotional and cannot be programmed.

  • Top 17 Cases Version 4/27/2020, with Addendum
    2020 DNA Hit of the Year Top 17 Cases Version 4/27/2020, with Addendum * All addenda written by submitters. 1. Headless Outlaw’s Torso in Old Lava Tube Name of Submitter: Clark County Sheriff Bart May Location: Dubois, Idaho, U.S.A. Agency: Clark County Sheriff’s Office, Idaho Date of Crime: 1916 Date and Type of Hit: 2018-2019 (genetic genealogy to match with general family tree); 2018-2019 (familial match with living grandson to confirm family relationship) Executive Summary: 100-year-old unidentified human remains found in an old lava tube in 1979 leads to a cold case identification effort that lasts many years. However, his head was never located, baffling the FBI and other investigators for years. They could only establish that he was of European descent, with reddish-brown hair, and was about 40-years-old at the time of death. His arms, hand, and legs were found in 1991. Over the years, investigators enlisted the help of Idaho State University and its team of forensic genetic genealogists (anthropology students and staffers). This also included experts from the Smithsonian Institution and the FBI. Last year investigators further enlisted the help of the DNA Doe Project, hoping to use DNA and ancestral analysis to identify the man. Experts from Othram, a forensic DNA analysis company, analyzed samples taken from the remains, while a forensic genealogist from the DNA Doe Project worked with her colleagues to build a ‘genealogical tree’. The man’s DNA profile was then uploaded to various genetic genealogy DNA databases for relatives. This led to the man’s living 87-year-old grandson, whose sample was taken and tested to confirm a familial relationship.

  • Inferiority Complex
    www.bsmi.org INFERIORITY COMPLEX Prevention in Children and Relief from It in Adults Timothy Lin, Ph.D. Everyone starts life with some feelings of inferiority. Subsequent success or failure is determined by the ability to adjust the inferiority feeling to the demands of life. Normal development requires the recognition of one’s limitations and capacities in order to achieve a profitable balance in emotional maturity. The inferiority complex is different from the inferior feeling of which the former is the master but the latter can become a servant to the individual. As a master, the complex may cause a person to have ultimate failure and maladjustment; as a servant, the feeling may produce success in achieving valuable goals in life. No one succeeds without some inferior feeling and almost everyone who fails does so because of an inferiority complex. We will see the serious nature of an inferiority complex by considering the nature, the manifestations, and the cure. Nature The nature of the inferiority complex includes definition, distinction from the superiority complex, and causes. Inferiority complex may be defined as: An abnormal or pathological state which, due to the tendency of the complex to draw unrelated ideas into itself, leads the individual to depreciate himself, to become unduly sensitive, to be too eager for praise and flattery, and to adopt a derogatory attitude toward others.1 This definition is the basis of the following discussion. How to Distinguish from a Superiority Complex: The genuine superiority complex is not superficial conceit but the consciousness of superiority developed from the feeling of personal cleverness, ability superior to their peers, and easy accomplishment of difficult tasks.

  • List of Paraphilias
    List of paraphilias Paraphilias are sexual interests in objects, situations, or individuals that are atypical. The American Psychiatric Association, in its Paraphilia Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition (DSM), draws a Specialty Psychiatry distinction between paraphilias (which it describes as atypical sexual interests) and paraphilic disorders (which additionally require the experience of distress or impairment in functioning).[1][2] Some paraphilias have more than one term to describe them, and some terms overlap with others. Paraphilias without DSM codes listed come under DSM 302.9, "Paraphilia NOS (Not Otherwise Specified)". In his 2008 book on sexual pathologies, Anil Aggrawal compiled a list of 547 terms describing paraphilic sexual interests. He cautioned, however, that "not all these paraphilias have necessarily been seen in clinical setups. This may not be because they do not exist, but because they are so innocuous they are never brought to the notice of clinicians or dismissed by them. Like allergies, sexual arousal may occur from anything under the sun, including the sun."[3] Most of the following names for paraphilias, constructed in the nineteenth and especially twentieth centuries from Greek and Latin roots (see List of medical roots, suffixes and prefixes), are used in medical contexts only. Contents A · B · C · D · E · F · G · H · I · J · K · L · M · N · O · P · Q · R · S · T · U · V · W · X · Y · Z Paraphilias A Paraphilia Focus of erotic interest Abasiophilia People with impaired mobility[4] Acrotomophilia

Despite the difference in their criminal acts, sexual serial killers and pedophiles have similar characteristics. Biological, environmental and psychological theories of criminal behavior were studied which illustrated their significance to how a person can choose to commit a crime. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a presence or absence within multiple forms of childhood trauma experienced between the sexual serial killer and pedophile.
