Different Types of Rapists Based on Nicholas Groths Typology

 

In 1979 Nicholas Groth created a typology based around the different types of rape that occur, categorizing it into groups. Most rape is planned by a single person while others are prompted spontaneously. Groth's typology includes types of rape and why people do it. According to law the types of rape get categorized as; gang rape(If more than one person is situated in the crime), acquaintance rape(when the victim and criminal are acquainted with each other during forced sex), date rape(forced sex during a relationship), and marital rape(rape between a married couple).

According to Nicholas Groth's work he portrays the reasoning behind criminals committing these horrid crimes as being one of three categorized cases. 


1 - Anger Rape

The first theory in Groth's typology is called anger rape. This is when someone's actions are motivated by anger towards the victim. The offender gets provoked by something and in result as an unstable person(because this type of criminal is unstable if they can't hold themselves from such actions in my opinion) they lash out on someone, often an opposed arguer. In their head and reasoning they sexually assault an individual as they are furiously mad at them. 

2 - Power Rape

The second ideation behind sexually assaulting another Groth titled appropriately as power rape. From the perspective of the offender, Groth's reasoning behind the actions are credited to a need for power, either within a relationship or against someone they want to dominate for whatever reason. This could look like a trigger from an argument or a feeling of the offender being belittled and needing to get back at them, taking a new position within the relation. 

3 - Sadistic Rape

The reasoning towards committing sexual assault against someone when it comes to sadistic rape is purely out of enjoyment. They're just doing it for pleasure and satisfaction for themselves. There doesn't even have to be a main trigger or reason behind the action other than just wanting to. When there is a trigger it's the offender is motivated by just genuinely enjoying the infliction of pain and causing displeasure against their victims. They often beat, choke, or cut their victims during the crime.

Why does BC have constant police reported drug offences

 

In British Columbia,

Many young people are going down terrible paths due to how easy it is to acquire drugs on the street nowadays. It pollutes environments with addicts which causes fear and avoidance within city zones. It associates negatives towards reputation of the area. It increases the occurrence of crime and violence, leaving people feel uneasy to even just go out at night in the city. Due to all the added crime that takes place as a result of drugs many police report and write off situations as being majorly impacted by substance. This adds up when larger amounts of people have easy access to drugs.

When someone close to you or in your family gets addicted to harsh substances it's really hard and often had terrible impacts on loved ones. It's difficult when you can't help someone that you care for dearly. It hurts someone mentally to be unable to support an individual so close to them. It can cause trauma within family for the rest of their life. The city and families have to spend lots of money on medical bills for seemingly avoidable situations. The amount of overdoses is ridiculous and shouldn't be such a normal thing to happen in everyday life. No one wants to see that. It's difficult for everyone involved. 

Obviously the main reason this keeps happening is the addictive element to these drugs and how it changes ones state of mind. If looking at it from the perspective of something like rational choice theory it can't be put into play as it's not really them talking it's the addictive behavior, haunting them like a ghost with it's hands around their neck - It's not really them.

Is school one of the most dangerous places for youth - Canada

 

Many teachers have reported their teaching experiences like walking on egg shells. Many students commit violent acts on school grounds. It can become a handful especially when teacher are just trying to do their jobs. 

These teachers have to deal with things such as hitting, kicking, spitting, and throwing tantrums every day if they have bad students. It can make life as a teacher really hard. For the classmates it can actually become quite dangerous to even go to school. Especially if bullies are thrown into the mix. They can actually be putting themselves at risk of being injured. 

This only goes for certain students that are an easy target for bullies. This is not at all a universal thing that everyone experiences. Some schools don't have any bullies at all so it really depends on which school and the types of people around you.

When crime statistics increase in usually means it's more the reports going up as opposed to actual crime but in this case in schools it does seem to actually be going up. I don't think school is one of the most dangerous places as these are mostly extreme cases listed. The majority of the time and within my experience not anything close to awful violence happens on a regular basis. When this sort of thing does happen it's often to one person as a one-off situation. So no I don't think school is one of the most dangerous places for people physically. I do believe mentally it influences and impacts people in a much more dangerous way. Peers can tease and make fun of you and can create issues down the road if constantly abused. There is usually quite a mean and judging culture within classmates and if it takes out the wrong person too many times it can really hurt them.

As a final answer I believe it is situational and really depends on the outlook and personality of an individual. Some people fit the right pattern to be picked on or take things to heart. It can be dangerous but I don't think it's a good tradeoff as lots of people don't get affected in this way at all.

Why does crime happen according to crime theory

 

Crime differs depending on where you are and who you ask. No one is born a criminal unless you have an extreme defect in your head. Obviously something happens to one to turn them into a criminal, but it's not always apparent what that is. if you were to look strictly in Canada it's a result of a variety of reasons and theory's to why people behave the way they do.

One of such ideas is labelled in criminology as choice theory. This is when criminals choose to commit crime selectively, picking situations beforehand and seeing if its really worth it(E.G. The benefit out ways the negatives). This can often but not always occur in areas with lower financial stability. People are conditioned to criminal behavior and can follow the influence. 

Theft as a result of lacking money in these poorer conditions is what often takes place. People, after being situated in a poor life for so long can become desperate for things. People can also be led to crime by their peers, being encouraged by one another to fit in. In some cases people commit crimes as a result of another baring issue such as depression. When society labels individuals they can often be led to follow those labels, promoting both discrimination and crime as a whole. Society often strays away from these groups of people.

Now all this is great to know about criminology and definitely reasons as to why people do the things they do. I believe on their own they explain certain factors of crime contribution but it's not really a single definitive answer to why crime happens. And that's because I don't believe it's just a cause of one thing. Situations differ and can lead to many outcomes, including crime. Ultimately I do believe crime really comes down to a combination of issues that lead someone to doing such things. Whether it's being cast down a path or depression etc. There is never a single factor as previously mentioned that causes crime to occur.
