  • g Smith and Hickock: namely, a complete disregard for human life. Each man knows that society says it is wrong to kill another person, but they simply do not care. Capote insinuates that this lack of compassion for others is itself a type of insanity.

    This source reviews ICB, remarking that it does a stellar job at discussing the insanity of the killers, who do not feel any remorse, regard, or compassion in taking the lives of others. They are not 'technically' criminally insane; they know exactly what they are doing. Their insanity is a different type, a sort of detached lack of human capabilities, as they fail to regard life with any import or significance.

In Cold Blood profiling

shared by Ellen L on 21 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • "is sit down and look through cases where the criminals had been arrested. I listed how old [the perpetrators] were, whether they were male or female, their level of education. Did they come from broken families? Did they have school behavioral problems? I listed as many factors as I could come up with, and then I added them up to see which were the most common."
  • "The basic premise is that behavior reflects personality," explains retired FBI agent Gregg McCrary. In a homicide case, for example, FBI agents glean insight into personality through questions about the murderer's behavior at four crime phases:Antecedent: What fantasy or plan, or both, did the murderer have in place before the act? What triggered the murderer to act some days and not others?Method and manner: What type of victim or victims did the murderer select? What was the method and manner of murder: shooting, stabbing, strangulation or something else?Body disposal: Did the murder and body disposal take place all at one scene, or multiple scenes?Postoffense behavior: Is the murderer trying to inject himself into the investigation by reacting to media reports or contacting investigators
  • Among those in the profiling field, the tension between law enforcement and psychology still exists to some degree. "The difference is really a matter of the FBI being more oriented towards investigative experience than [academic psychologists] are," says retired FBI agent McCrary.

    This article discusses crime and offender profiling. This relates to ICB because up until the two criminals are caught, the sheriff and deputy spend hours pouring over the crime details in an attempt to characterize the type of people who committed the act.

    "People with borderline personality disorder are unstable in several areas, including interpersonal relationships, behavior, mood, and self-image."
  • Sarah Sch on 20 Mar 12
     
    "A person with borderline personality may form an intense personal attachment with someone only to quickly dissolve it over a perceived slight. Fears of abandonment may lead to an excessive dependency on others."
  • Sarah Sch on 20 Mar 12
     
    This article introduces the concept of personality disorders and lists the most common of these disorders. During In Cold Blood, Perry exhibits definitive behavior of a borderline personality. Such actions include his unnatural attachment to Dick throughout their exploits and his inability to make his own decisions. This essay would support an essay discussing the detrimental effects of poor parenting.

    "The first, popular among psychotherapists and many early psychoanalytic thinkers, emphasized early experience-pre-oedipal and separation-individuation were common terms. Parental care had been unempathic, there had been traumatic experiences, the mother-child "match" was poor, etc. "
  • Sarah Sch on 21 Mar 12
     
    "In sum, development is complicated, always involves the interaction of nature and nurture, and although in extreme cases one or the other may predominate as the determinant of pathology, there is much more likely to be a complex interaction when the outcome is less extreme-that is, borderline."
  • Sarah Sch on 21 Mar 12
     
    This article discusses borderline personality disorder in depth, including causes and treatment. The causes can be due to parental neglect and traumatic experiences. The causes resemble Perry's childhood when his mother neglects him and his father always puts his needs second. This article would support an essay focusing on the effects of parental neglect on children. p.s. etiology means causes

    "... people who score high on measures of antisocial personality, low in conscientiousness, high in neuroticism, and low in intelligence have been shown to be more likely to engage in criminal activities, including murder "

    "Children who witness poor, unstable relationships between their parents and live in relatively resource-scarce environments are argued to be more likely to adopt short-term, opportunistic mating strategies as adults and riskier strategies for obtaining resources, including theft, violence, and murder"
  • Sarah Sch on 21 Mar 12
     
    This article examines murder and provides theories on the causes and rationale for murder. The article provides theory that site neglectful and traumatic upbringings as a potential cause. Also, uneducated and antisocial people are more likely to perpetrate violent acts against their fellow human. Perry exhibits all these traits and has the additional evil influence of Dick encouraging him.

    "Breivik's rigidity also fits into a typical pattern, Hoffmann says. "Such perpetrators have very assiduous tendencies and think in stereotypes. Everything is in black and white." "

    "Last year, United States researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee discovered an especially pronounced mechanism in the brain of psychopaths, namely that they have a need for reward at any cost."
  • Sarah Sch on 21 Mar 12
     
    This article examines Anders Beivik and his mass killing of 69 people at a Norwegian camp for teenagers. Anders Beivik systematically hunted down people for 90 minutes without remorse or compassion. This article examines the rationale behind this cold-bloodedness. Anders Beivik and the aspects of his personality that allow him to commit this act resemble Perry. Perry sees things as black and white, and he will do anything to make someone proud of him.

    "In addition, parents who psychologically abuse their children are often narcissistic (self-absorbed) and feel that raising children gets in the way of their own lives and the things they would rather be doing."
  • Sarah Sch on 21 Mar 12
     
    "Families in which psychological maltreatment occurs are usually dysfunctional in some way and lack good communication skills. "
  • Sarah Sch on 21 Mar 12
     
    This article further examines the effect of parental neglect on children and the potential causes of parental neglect. One leading cause of parental neglect is the resentment a parent feels due to the restrictions having a child places on their life. Another cause is the self-absorbedness of the parent. These two causes are seen with Perry's mother and father. Perry's father neglects Perry's needs as a child when he drags Perry from town to town on his own whim.

    "Irony is, in fact, one of Capote's major techniques, and he achieves it by juxtaposing the circumstances of the killers to those of the Clutter family."
  • Sarah Sch on 21 Mar 12
     
    "Capote introduces the idea of fate and predestination and the ways in which society produces killers and unleashes them on the innocent."

    "In considering the race and ethnicity of neglected children, the highest percentage of children who experienced neglect only (and not other forms of child maltreatment) in 2003 were American Indian or Alaska Native (67.8%), followed by children of multiple races (55.9%)."

    "There are other common types of neglect, such as medical neglect, safety neglect, abandonment and educational neglect."
  • Sarah Sch on 21 Mar 12
     
    This article examines the neglect of children. Neglect can be perceived in several ways and is seen in several acts such as the neglect of education or safety. Neglect is an important theme in all the novels of this segment. During In Cold Blood, the reader witnesses how Perry was neglected as a child by his father which resulted in severe inhibitions in his development. Parental neglect was a leading contributor to the end result of Perry murdering the Clutters.
