Sample Book Insights:
#1 The FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit has studied aberrant crime, and I spent 16 years examining these crimes as part of that group. I chose to focus on previously unexplored or poorly understood deviant behaviors. There are no boundaries to what a particular individual might do to other people or to themselves.
#2 There is a wide variety of human behaviors when it comes to sex crimes. Some people are attracted to nonliving objects, animals, or people. Others are drawn to all three. Some commit exclusively homosexual crimes, others only heterosexual ones, and still others are attracted to either gender.
#3 The distinction between what is acceptable and what is not may depend on the jurisdiction where the behavior takes place. In some cases, it can be difficult to draw the line between criminal and noncriminal sexual behavior.
#4 The monster who committed these heinous crimes was a well-groomed, middle-aged man. He looked like a pervert, and people were shocked when they saw his pictures.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit has studied aberrant crime, and I spent 16 years examining these crimes as part of that group. I chose to focus on previously unexplored or poorly understood deviant behaviors. There are no boundaries to what a particular individual might do to other people or to themselves.

#2

There is a wide variety of human behaviors when it comes to sex crimes. Some people are attracted to nonliving objects, animals, or people. Others are drawn to all three. Some commit exclusively homosexual crimes, others only heterosexual ones, and still others are attracted to either gender.

#3

The distinction between what is acceptable and what is not may depend on the jurisdiction where the behavior takes place. In some cases, it can be difficult to draw the line between criminal and noncriminal sexual behavior.

#4

The monster who committed these heinous crimes was a well-groomed, middle-aged man. He looked like a pervert, and people were shocked when they saw his pictures.

#5

The sexual offender is a very different person than the stereotypical image of a serial killer. While many factors contribute to the genesis of a sexual offender, no single element is the cause of deviant behavior.

#6

The media has been blamed for promoting violence, but studies have shown that men who watch or listen to such media are not driven to commit crimes.

#7

Pornography contributes to sexual violence in some individuals, both passively and actively. It treats women and children as objects, and it teaches that sex is merely a bodily function with no special significance. It conveys the message that sex is an expression of instinctive urges, with no need for love or commitment.

#8

The killer murdered the daughter simply because she was at home when he attacked her mother. The police arrested the subject, who had a detective magazine with a picture of a rape-homicide that was similar to his own crime.

#9

There are many theories about why people become criminals, but they are all unsubstantiated. I believe that these theories are all false leads in the quest to understand violence in our society.

#10

The assumption that sexual offenders are sick or perverted does not explain the majority of crimes committed by individuals who are not psychotic. One theory is that the brain shrinks due to trauma, which can affect one’s ability to discern right from wrong.

#11

The most obvious explanation for why some people turn to violence is that they simply want to. They enjoy it, and have no regard for what the rest of society thinks.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The case of Leonard Lake and Charles Ng, who killed 11 people with the help of their partner, was unusual in that the police didn’t learn of the homicides until one of the killers killed himself.

#2

The five-step process that Saint Augustine described is similar to the one used by sexual predators. The mind conceives of an action, considers the action as it relates to the senses, considers the possible consequences of the act, decides to act on the thought, and then rationalizes the behavior.

#3

I later testified under questioning by Larry Long, the chief deputy state attorney general, that I believed this to be the case. In the process of consulting with the prosecution team and investigators, I learned about other aspects of the crimes.

#4

The investigation turned up several witnesses who reported seeing a truck or sport utility vehicle painted black in the vicinity of the Streyle residence on the day of the kidnapping. The suspect, Robert Leroy Anderson, admitted that he had visited the Streyles’ trailer the previous Friday.

#5

The investigation turned up the torn half of a black-and-white T-shirt that belonged to Piper Streyle, which was near where Anderson had taken her. The prosecution team showed the jury that Anderson had bought the black paint that morning and sprayed it on the Bronco to change its appearance.

#6

My conclusion about Robert Leroy Anderson was that he was a sexual sadist. I based this conclusion on his obvious interest in sexual bondage, as well as the evidence that he had physically tortured Piper Streyle.
