Francis MPhil, Walden University, 2019 JD, West Virginia University, 2000 MS, Radford University, 1997 BS, West Virginia University, 1995 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Psychology Forensic Specialization Walden University May 2020 Abstract Growing up in a single-parent household has been associated with exposure to adverse childhood experiences that contribute to negative short- and long-term psychological and behavioral outcomes, including violent behavior. It is unclear, however, whether a single- parent upbringing predicts the scale of a perpetrator’s violence. The current study examined the scale of violence through measures of frequency and duration, correlated with a single-parent upbringing among male serial killers who operated alone in the United States. In a nonexperimental, cross-sectional design, I used a multivariate analysis of variance to compare 85 male serial killers raised by a single parent with 85 male serial killers raised by two birth parents across four measures of violence scale: the number of victims suspected, the number of victims confessed to, the number of victims convicted of having killed, and the duration of violent homicidal behavior. The findings yielded no statistically significant relationship between the parental structure of the male serial killer’s childhood home and the 4 measures of scale of long-term repeated homicidal violence. This study contributes to the understanding of the role of a single-parent upbringing in long-term extreme, recurrent, prolonged violence by suggesting that while a single-parent upbringing and violence are correlated, a single-parent upbringing and the magnitude of that violence may not be. By revealing the limits of the association between a single-parent upbringing and long-term violence, efforts to predict long-term violence scale can focus more precisely on the underlying adverse childhood experiences that are frequently, but not exclusively, commensurate with a single-parent upbringing.

  • A Review of Maternal and Paternal Filicide
    REGULAR ARTICLE A Review of Maternal and Paternal Filicide Dominique Bourget, MD, Jennifer Grace, MA, and Laurie Whitehurst, PhD Filicide, the murder of a child by a parent, is a multifaceted phenomenon with various causes and characteristics. This review of the existing literature delineates the present state of knowledge regarding filicide and illustrates similarities and differences between offenses perpetrated by mothers and by fathers. The importance of numerous reports of an association between filicide and parental pre-existing psychiatric disorders is compounded by indications that a significant number of homicidal parents come to the attention of psychiatrists or other health professionals before the offense occurs. As prevention implies the recognition of causes involved in particular situations, a better understanding of potentially fatal parental/familial dynamics leading to filicide could facilitate the identification of risk and enable effective intervention strategies. J Am Acad Psychiatry Law 35:74–82, 2007 The terms filicide, neonaticide, and infanticide have Classifying Filicide been used interchangeably in the literature on child In attempts to determine reasons for child murder homicide.

  • Forty Years of Death: the Past, Present, and Future of the Death Penalty in South Carolina (Still Arbitrary After All These Years)
    VANN BLUME (DO NOT DELETE) 9/23/2016 10:00 AM Included with letter from SCCID to Oversight Subcommittee (September 7, 2018) ATTACHMENT 2 FORTY YEARS OF DEATH: THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF THE DEATH PENALTY IN SOUTH CAROLINA (STILL ARBITRARY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS) JOHN H. BLUME* & LINDSEY S. VANN** INTRODUCTION We now have forty years of experience under the “death belt” in South Carolina. The Supreme Court of the United States approved new death sentencing schemes in 19761 and the death penalty has been in business more or less full time in the Palmetto State since then.2 Last year, two Justices of the Supreme Court called for full briefing on the constitutionality of the death penalty in light of forty years of data that demonstrate the death penalty statutes enacted in the 1970s have not lived up to constitutional demands.3 In this Article, we will report and comment on the results of four decades of—in Justice Blackmun’s words—“tinker[ing] with the machinery of death”4 in South Carolina.

  • Psychiatric Considerations on Infanticide: Throwing the Baby Out
    Psychiatria Danubina, 2020; Vol. 32, Suppl. 1, pp 24-28 Conference paper © Medicinska naklada - Zagreb, Croatia PSYCHIATRIC CONSIDERATIONS ON INFANTICIDE: THROWING THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATHWATER Anne-Frederique Naviaux1, Pascal Janne2 & Maximilien Gourdin2 1College of Psychiatrists of Ireland and Health Service Executive (HSE) Summerhill Community Mental Health Service, Summerhill, Wexford, Ireland 2Université Catholique de Louvain, CHU UCL Namur, Yvoir, Belgium SUMMARY Background: Infanticide is not a new concept. It is often confused with child murder, neonaticide, filicide or even genderside. Each of these concepts has to be defined clearly in order to be understood. Through time reasons for infanticide have evolved depending on multiple factors such as culture, religion, beliefs system, or attempts to control the population. It was once seen as a moral virtue. So what has changed? Subjects and methods: Between January 2020 and May 2020, a literature search based on electronic bibliographic databases as well as other sources of information (grey literature) was conducted in order to investigate the most recent data on infanticide and child murder, especially the newest socio-economic and psychiatric considerations as well as the different reasons why a mother or a father ends up killing their own child and the Irish situation. Results: Recent works on the subject demonstrate how some new socio economic factors and family considerations impact on infanticide. Mental illness, especially depression and psychosis, is often part of the picture and represent a very high risk factor to commit infanticide and filicide. Fathers and mothers do not proceed the same way nor for the same reasons when they kill their offspring.
