  • Victimology Exploring the Experience of Victimization Distribute Or John Sutcliff’S Entire Adult Life Has Been Devoted to the Sexual Seduction of Teenage Boys
    CHAPTER 3 Victimology Exploring the Experience of Victimization distribute or John Sutcliff’s entire adult life has been devoted to the sexual seduction of teenage boys. At the age of 33 he was arrested and sentenced to prison for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy who was a member of his “Big Brother’s Club.” By his own admission he had sexually molested over 200 “members” of his club. John’s favorite activity with these boys was giving and receiving enemas. John became involved with the fetish while enrolled in a residential boy’s school where many of the boys were subjected to enemas administered in front of the entire dormitory. After his release from prison, John became much more “scientific” in his efforts to procure victims. A “theoretical” paper he wrote indicated that father-absent boys werepost, “ripe” for seduction, and he would entice them with his friendly ways and with a houseful of electronic equipment he would teach the boys to repair and operate. He weeded out boys with a father in the home and would spend at least 6 weeks grooming each victim. He used systematic desensitization techniques, starting with simply getting the boys to agree to type in answers to innocuous questions and escalating to having them view pornographic homosexual pictures and giving them “pretend” enemas, actual enemas, and enemas accompanied by sexual activity. With each successive approximation toward John’s goal the boys were reinforced by material and nonmaterial rewards (friendship, attention, praise) that made the final events seem almost natural. copy, John’s activities came to light when U.S.

STEIKER** INTRODUCTION Over the past five years we have seen an unprecedented swell of debate at all levels of public life regarding the American death penalty. Much of the debate centers on the crisis of confidence engendered by the high-profile release of a significant number of wrongly convicted inmates from the nation's death rows. Advocates for reform or abolition of capital punishment have seized upon this issue to promote various public policy initiatives to address the crisis, including proposals for more complete DNA collection and testing, procedural reforms in capital cases, substantive limits on the use of capital punishment, suspension of executions, and outright abolition.

  • PSYCHOPATHY in ADOLESCENCE: CAUSES, TRAITS and RISK BEHAVIOURS Maria Vincenza Minò Brindisi, Italy
    Psychiatria Danubina, 2019; Vol. 31, Suppl. 3, pp 443-446 Conference paper © Medicinska naklada - Zagreb, Croatia PSYCHOPATHY IN ADOLESCENCE: CAUSES, TRAITS AND RISK BEHAVIOURS Maria Vincenza Minò Brindisi, Italy SUMMARY Psychopathy is a personality disorder defined by a specific set of behaviours and personality traits evaluated as negative and socially harmful. The modern conception of Psychopathy was introduced by Clerckley in "Mask of Sanity" (1941), and refined by Hare with the construction of the PCL (1980, 1991), a gold standard instrument for the evaluation of the disorder. Manipulation, deception, grandeur, emotional superficiality, lack of empathy and remorse, impulsive and irresponsible lifestyle, persistent violation of social norms and expectations (Cleckley 1976, Hare 2003) are some behavioural aspects that characterize psychopathic subjects. With this work we intend to study in depth the causes, the traits, in particular the so-called callous-unemotional and risk factors that lead a teenager to become a psychopathic subject. The diagnostic tools useful for the assessment and for the possibilities of intervention that can be put into practice will also be described. Key words: psychopathy - adolescence - DSM-5 - traits - assessment * * * * * INTRODUCTION Secondary psychopaths The word psychopathy literally means "mental Secondary psychopaths, on the other hand, have illness" (from psyche, "mind" and pathos "suffering"). severe emotional problems; their delinquency is attri- According to Cleckley (1976) and Hare (1991, 1993), buted to the social isolation that characterizes them a psychopath is an individual who presents antisocial (Bartol 1995).

  • A Historical Approach to Assertiveness
    Psychological Thought psyct.psychopen.eu | 2193-7281 Theoretical Analyses A Historical Approach to Assertiveness Ivelina Peneva*a, Stoil Mavrodieva [a] South-West University „Neofit Rilski”, Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria. Abstract A very important personal quality is to be able to advocate for yourself - your own positions, to achieve your objectives, to overcome difficulties, to be determined, but without harming the rights of others and to be able to control the aggressive impulses. The concept, which expresses these personal characteristics, is called "assertiveness". Assertiveness is a part of the personal potential. It is a prerequisite for self-actualization. The goal we set in this historical-psychological paper is to explore the genesis, development and stabilization of the term "assertiveness". In this context, we will examine, compare and analyze the positions of the leading authors on this issue.

  • The Relationship Between Aggressive and Assertive
    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AGGRESSIVE AND ASSERTIVE COMMUNICATION BEHAVIORS: EXAMINATION AND SCALE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AGGRESSIVE ASSERTIVE COMMUNICATION INSTRUMENT (AACI) by VALERIE BERENICE COLES CONE (Under the Direction of Jennifer A. Samp) ABSTRACT This project considers the relationship between aggressive and assertive communication behaviors; two concepts rarely studied in tandem with one another. The goal of this project was to develop and assess the construct validity of the Aggressive Assertive Communication Instrument (AACI). In order to examine the content validity, internal consistency, and associations between the AACI and external variables, three studies were conducted. Study 1 was a pilot study designed to examine the theorized factor structure and item composition of the AACI. To assess the validity of the measure, the proposed items were correlated with individual difference variables commonly examined and associated with interpersonal conflict (i.e., agreeableness, extraversion, locus of control, and taking conflict personally). The aims of Study 2 were to further examine the factor structure and item composition of the AACI and to cross-validate the AACI with dispositional traits (i.e., agreeableness, entitlement, exploitativeness, extraversion, family communication patterns, self-esteem, and trait anger). In Study 3, convergent and divergent validity were assessed with existing aggressive and assertive measures (i.e., BAAI, BPAQ, VAS, and AI) and dispositional tendencies (i.e., conflict management style and argumentativeness). Additionally, three conditions were developed to assess how the AACI may change or differentially relate to tested variables when individuals reflected on their behavior with an acquaintance, close friend, or romantic partner. Results from these studies revealed a consistent and stable four-factor structure comprised of two assertion-related factors (i.e., direct communication and relationship orientation) and two aggression-related factors (i.e., verbal aggression and physical aggression).

  • Four Rules for Using Assertive Communication to Stand up to Bullies
    Four Rules for Using Assertive Communication to Stand Up to Bullies ✓Rule 1: Don’t go it alone. 1. A bully’s main strategy is to make a victim feel alone and powerless. 2. The best way to counter a bully’s strategy is to tell a helpful adult about what is going on and ask for that adult’s support. When a bully realizes that he/she will not be able to keep a victim isolated-that the victim is strong enough to reach out and connect with others- the bully begins to lose power. 3. Sometimes adults fail to acknowledge the seriousness of bullying, but more often, grown-ups are not aware of what is going on. 4. Telling an adult about bullying is a bold, powerful move. 5. Bullies want their victims to be too afraid to tell an adult about what is going on. That’s why they tease kids about “tattling.” See right through their game! This is just another one of the bully’s strategies for intimidating you an making you feel all alone. ✓Rule 2: Don’t wait! 1. The longer a bully has power of a victim, the stronger the hold becomes. 2. Bullying usually begins in a relatively mild form- name calling, teasing, or minor physical aggression- then becomes more serious when the bully realizes that the victim is not going to stand up for him/herself. 3. When kids ignore or do nothing about bullies, their own power slips away. ✓Rule 3: Be assertive! 1. The more bullies think they can pick on a victim without a direct response, the more they will do it.

What is Assertiveness? We have all heard people say “You need to be more assertive!” But what exactly is assertiveness? Assertiveness is a communication style. It is being able to express your feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and opinions in an open manner that doesn’t violate the rights of others. Other communication styles you may have heard of include being aggressive, which is a style that violates the rights of others, and being passive where we violate our own rights. You have probably also heard of passive-aggressive. This is where someone is essentially being aggressive but in a passive or indirect way. For example, someone may be angry but they don’t act in an overtly aggressive way by yelling or hitting, instead they may sulk or slam a door. Passive: Violates own Assertive: Respects Aggressive: Violates rights. Others needs both own needs and rights of others. Own given priority. needs of others. needs have priority.
