Hypermasculinity

     Sexual behaviour is very common in (young) males.some groups of guys view each other on how their sexual encounters have been and how "far" they have gone, if somebody in the group has been with a "hotter" girl than the rest, he seems to be in a way better than the others not as in a personality aspect but as a role model for the others. Men typically have a callous sexual attitude and believe that violence is manly. I believe that if a male is hypermasculated his behaviour would be more around the town tuff duff guy. Guys learn hypermasculin behaviour everywhere they go ; Media, one another other, but mostly family as in family I mean the father saying "I'm the man of the house."  the reason why guys "need" to learn hypermasculin behaviour is because nobody likes to be pushed around see now its not just sexual assault its also about respect, and nature because we had little to no morels way back when we were just some people trying to keep us going and when we wanted something or someone we took it and some people still do.

The short and long term impacts on victims of Crime

        Victims of crime have lots of trouble being the same person that they were before. most people cant admitted that they have changed, someone who suffers from short term would experience higher stress, a need to do something that they think would have helped them prevent the action that was done to them, as well they could become angry or depressed. long term effects are the same but more so such as post-traumatic stress disorder, loss of income from not being able to work for some victims.


         Harper from "Law & Order SVU" suffered a severe crime(s) done to her. First off she had trouble with sleeping so she couldn't hold her job, then she felt like she had to get srtonger and faster so she could protect herself, she couldn't stay at the apartment where she got vitimized so when she moved her appartment door had to have multiple locks on it so she could feel safer, she broke up her relationship, also later on after she moved another woman was victimized the same way as her and they brought in the criminal and she could not identify him.

   

Cliford Olson & Marc lepine

           Cliford Olson started off doing crime when he was in his teen years. While in B.C. Penitentiary  in 1974, sexually attacked a 17-year-old fellow inmate.  when he was released he indecently assaulted a 7-year-old girl in Nova Scotia. This was the beginning of his sexually deviant and murderous criminal activity.
           He crashed his car with his 16-year-old female passenger in Agassiz. Olson had picked her up in the Cottonwood Avenue and North Road area of Coquitlam. Although the young girl could not be convinced that Olson was a sex offender, she did tell the police that he had offered her a job, had bought her drinks and given her pills. She palmed one of the tiny emerald knock-out pills.The laboratory identified it as chloral hydrate, commonly known as knock-out drops.  Olson was not easy to follow because the “watchers” claimed that he would stop in the middle of the street, make sudden inexplicable U-turns, and go down one-way alleys, stop, and reverse. After burglarizing two Victoria residences, he his way up north towards Nanaimo. He pulled over to the side of the road to pick up two young women hitchhiking. Hitchhiking was a popular mode of travel for the young in 1981.The women were confused, but safe. Olson said they had only stopped so he could relieve himself. Police charged him with impaired and dangerous driving, impounded his car, and took him to local lock-up. The police searched his rented car and found a green address book with the name of the 14-year-old New Westminster girl—Judy Kozma. Olson had killed 10 children in southern British Columbia, by the time he was finished, 11 would be dead. The “Cash-for-bodies” Deal. “I’ll give you eleven bodies for $100,000. The first one will be a freebie,” Olson offered the police.


    Marc Lepine had a green plastic bag with him, although no one realized that inside was a lethal weapon, and beneath his sweater he had strapped on a sheath containing a six-inch hunting knife. the armed man strode toward classroom 230 (some say 303). This was the moment. He had attached a high-capacity banana clip magazine so he could fire 30 rounds in quick succession, and he had plenty of ammunition.Lépine had killed 14 women and wounded 13 other students of both genders. Yet there were more victims as well. All of the families would bear their own scars from the 20-minute siege.Lépine’s stated intention of killing feminists as a political statement, and as a way to scare women back to their traditional roles, shocked people around the world. Yet it was not the first such hate-inspired massacre. Like others before it and still to come, it was fueled by a frustration that can build into a hardened anger and a need to blame an outside person. Some psychologists call it a catathymic reaction

i dont belive that it will ever be possible to stop these actions but the police officers could prevent some of the people that do what they do.

Kaelans theory of crime

I think there are many reasons why crime happens; emotions are high, a need for income, and many other reasons, but their is never an excuse for someone to commit a crime. After all their is never just one motive. my theory in criminal behaviour is that if they don't think they can be stopped its okay, like a little kid waiting for you to tell them to stop because they know its wrong to do but they will do it anyways, like taking a toy from another kid because they want it (theft), their are to many reasons for a person to commit a crime for the many laws that is present to try to prevent crime from happening but it still happens because people. the main theory of mine is if stress and emotions are high and getting the cold shoulder your going to do something and it wont always be the best choice for you or your family.
