sychology tries to find out, to know what induces an individual to commit a crime, does it mean that behavior for him, why the idea of punishment is not afraid and makes him give up his criminal conduct. The psychological task is to clarify its meaning in a historical-genetic.
Every crime can be a runaway reaction conscious or unconscious symbolic to a stimulus and almost always has a motivation. For some reason in certain circumstances a person loses control and commits a crime.

Man is the only species that can control their impulses, a feature that distinguishes it from other animals; however, the inhibitory mechanism does not work sometime causing impulsive shock that fails to go through the cerebral cortex and prevents the opportunity to reflect.
A criminal mind can reason coherently, such as psychopaths, but with a rationale of false premises. His view of the world differs from the majority and can not accept the rules of coexistence, preferring to respect only their own codes. They have no feelings of guilt or remorse and can go unnoticed, behaving relatively normally until offenders.
From the psychological point of view a criminal is a person with a mental disorder. In most cases these are people who have suffered traumatic experiences of neglect or abuse in childhood that have altered their

The child psychopath: Bad seed or bad parents?

uring the first three to nine months of life, the infant establishes emotional ties with the figure who cares, we know that. Some infants are difficult, while others are not. Anyway, the mother has to work on making these links grow, and we know that an important factor in the development of psychopath is the lack of connection between the child and those who inhabit its environment. What makes this ability to form social relationships crucial to its future development? Self-assessment, emotional flexibility, feelings of hope, intelligence, and empathy are essential to build character and to acquire the ability to achieve effective control of impulses, for the modulation of anger, and to resolve conflicts. Without those attributes and skills, the children can not constant and rewarding relationships within the community, which threatens the
stability of the entire social structure. Our society often idealizes the false heroes and confuses the child who does not understand how a singer writhes provocatively, and sexually suggestive, can attract fanatical proselytism, even among their own parents who, while they try to instill ethical / moral. But the understanding of psychopath remains elusive issue for being so ubiquitous, and its mimicry, their permutations and degrees of severity. Guided by the tripartite model of mental illness, which so far appears to be the most reasonable to explain, we can think that everything starts with the genes: • Biological factors 2
Inheritance there are families that are bad people we all know this The prototype is found in the various descriptions of pathological narcissism and Dino Syndrome, well known by all. The existence intrauterine influences many ways. Mothers who do not desire pregnancy, drug abusers, who are battered and other factors affecting without omitting the influences of hormones and neurotransmitters in the fetus.
• Sociological factors Important environmental influences involved during birth and after depending on care, stimulation and care provided to children and young throughout its development. • Psychological factors Here I mean the emotional makeup of individuals possessing distinctive diathesis autism, narcissism, hysteria and other "psychiatric disorders" recognized. These may inadvertently determine the paths which the person will, contributing, so still unknown to the phenotypic expression of psychopath.
Jesse Harding Pomeroy - The Child Psycho One of the first known cases of children about the American murderers is Jesse Harding Pomeroy, born on November 29, 1859 in the town of Charleston, Massachusetts. He was the second son of Thomas and Ruthann Pomeroy, people living in economic mediocrity then. It says that the parent was an abusive, alcoholic subject, not unlike the vast majority of men of his condition. For whatever reason they are enraged, took his children to a cabin where undressed and pounded to relent. From these beatings Jesse did not assimilate the idea of good behavior, but a perverted form of pleasure and fun. According to contemporary accounts Pomeroy appearance inspired fear. The same was aware that it was a different subject. His body was very big for his age, and his head, ears and facial features unflattering. His right eye had no iris and pupil, giving it a scary look. Neither his own father could look without experiencing a chill.
As always, in consequence or cause to be different, Pomeroy was a subject withdrawn and isolated. Nobody remembered for his smiling but nervous attacks strangers occasionally attacked. So during his very childhood certainly was engulfed abusers children in his neighborhood. In Pomeroy family home could not have pets. Unexpectedly, appeared dead. Once, the canaries of Mrs. Pomeroy appeared with their heads torn off and after Jesse discovered cat torturing the neighbors, it was decided that more animals would not enter the home. This violent behavior against animals is part of the classic triad fateful observed in most of the world's serial murderers. Animals are experimentation of sadism and violence that in the

future the psychopath has to apply to their peers. In a kind of slow but tragic development, Pomeroy decided to download their follies against new dams, choosing them according to their age, younger children than him. The first was the child who was found William Paine December 1, 1871 by two men walking down a quiet street. They had heard a cry and stay off when approaching a small cabin could hear more clearly and entering were surprised to see the little boy of four years hanging hands, which were tied with a rope suspended from the ceiling of the place. Barely conscious Paine cried, covering her back lacerations and bruises strong. He could not report her attacker.
Next up was Tracy Hayden for seven years in February 1872 who was deceived by Pomeroy to take him to a secluded place with the promise of going to see the soldiers. Once away from any distractions, proceeded to tie him up and torture him with the same fury that had applied to small Paine. Hayden turned to attack the black eyes, the front teeth games, a broken nose and torso covered with wounds and welts. After this episode the police could only learn that the attacker was a brown-haired boy, little information as to enable the authorities to do something about it. Then in mid-April 1872 Pomeroy promised to bring the circus to 8 years young Robert Maier and after walking up paragraphs domains submitted it as usual with his victims. I almost completely undressed and while beating him with a stick forced him to curse. Ruthann Pomeroy, sadistic mother. Maier Pomeroy reported that while he masturbated vapuleaba enjoy the suffering he caused. At the end let go and he swore he would kill him if he betrayed someone. Then fled the scene. Police began questioning many teenagers act hair. The media began to appear nervous and strongly warned parents to join their children not to talk to strangers on the street. For some reason the description led to the sadistic villain of a bearded, red-haired teenager. Meanwhile brown the hairless Jesse Pomeroy comfortably
escape the police search. The next blow in mid-July, was against an unknown child of 7 years who was dealt the same treatment as others, ie a ferocious beating until Pomeroy reached orgasm. This time the police offered a reward of $ 500 who helped in the capture of "sadistic villain" as it was called the teenager tormented children of Boston. Shortly after Ruth Pomeroy decided his family moved south of Boston. It is speculated that Mrs. suspected about your child's potential liability in the recent attacks on infants. Although you may have moved for any reason. But when the attacks of Chelsea also staged his new course surely something must have thought, but no one really knows. Jesse's mother always remained faithful to his son, and deny the allegations made against his son. George Pratt was walking in the street when he was approached by Pomeroy and with the promise of a cash reward for bringing an errand led him to a lonely place where he began his inhuman attack. After undressing tie and pounded it mercilessly with a belt. This again raised the level of their atrocities, biting and scratching slap deep into the skin. Several times he buried a long needle into various parts of the body. Even tried to stick it in the eye, but Pratt managed to be placed in a fetal position before Pomeroy achieves its 4
aim. Fortunately, the sadistic villain had quenched his thirst for violence and fled the scene but not before biting the buttocks to the unfortunate child. Once the case seen by the authorities concluded that it could not be the work of a subject rather than insane, then feared the worst, to continue the streak of attacks. The next hapless child was 6 years Harry Austin Pomeroy who showed that increasing spiral depravity, besides the usual beating, this time used his pocket knife to stab the arms and shoulders to his victim. He was about to hack off his penis when he was interrupted at the approach of some people. A few days after Joseph Kennedy attacked the child who pounded while forcing him to recite prayers plagued religious obscenities. Kennedy was led to a sharp cut in the face with his knife and then took him to the seashore to throw salt water in the wounds. The boy of 5 years Robert Gould was the next to fall deceived by Pomeroy who had promised to take him to see soldiers, before being subjected near a train station. When threatened the boy with the tip of his knife in the neck, Pomeroy realized he was being watched by a railroad and had to escape. Fortunately for police Gould contributed more concrete clues as to his attacker was a young teenager with brown hair and a full white eye.In late 1872 the police affected school visits Boston public system in the hope of
finding the sadistic villain who believed, would soon become a fearsome killer. One day in September Pomeroy visited the school, but the young Kennedy could not identify among students at his attacker. On the same day that police had visited her classroom, Pomeroy to return home, decided to shop around for the police station and passing so close, was suddenly identified by Kennedy who continued with his statements. It is unclear why this behavior but it is very possible that Pomeroy was involved in a sort of game of cat and mouse with the police. That has happened many times with psychopaths like that. When Pomeroy passed, Kennedy caught a glimpse at the station and the police managed to chase the sadistic villain was immediately placed under arrest. Despite intense grilling, Pomeroy remained calm claiming his innocence at all times. I woke up at midnight in the cell where he was confined and the threat of being jailed for 100 years, Jesse Pomeroy finally gave up. The next day he was taken to identify all of his victims which seem to be no problems occurred. So what was missing was a judge sentencing him. As expected, his mother testified for Pomeroy, because it could not be otherwise. When asked why he did it, only managed to say "I could not help it ..." while bent his head in shame. The sentence was the entrance to a juvenile detention until he
turned 18, is coming of age. Mother and son left in tears psychopath court according to the chronicles of the time. The Westborough juvenile reformatory became the next home of Jesse Pomeroy. That place housed young offenders and boys spoiled or difficult to treat whose parents sent there to take a big load off. Such institutions reformed hardly anyone at the time. Simply enclose the fact provoked dangerous rogues in them the appearance of a wild and opportunistic mindset that the strongest subjected to rest. In a place like a smart kid could flourish and sadistic as Pomeroy who understood early on that if he wanted to leave before age 18 should demonstrate an irreproachable conduct. By all accounts, he lived most of the time alone because the older boys teased him and children he tried to blow up, because I was aware of being held there. The routine lasts Westborough was forced labor and mandatory classes daily. As an internal model efficiently Pomeroy evaded punishment and reprimands, but was always aware of every detail and incident when someone was punished. After fifteen months of incarceration, the parole board approved their departure. While Jesse was serving sentence, her mother was campaigning for the release and exoneration of his son by sending letters to the authorities and who was willing 5
to listen to your point of view, however, was the conduct of Pomeroy that moved the juvenile judges to release him. The Pomeroy promised to do his best in monitoring their son who had left wandering over the account. The lady had a clothing store and his eldest son a position paper, which businesses employ the young Jesse to not waste time. Despite the horrible crimes they had accused Pomeroy, police believed that one should not be too hard and too long against the boy and that he should be given a chance at redemption also. A no authority came informing anyone in the community where he lived Pomeroy, that he had been released. People lived under the belief that the white eye sadistic scoundrel saved would
be fine for several years. Illustration of Jesse Pomeroy as a teenager already begun his criminal career.

y its nature distinctly psychopath, the serial murderer is unable to feel sympathy or less some kind of empathy with others or their victims. It is completely incapable of living a relationship with someone else. But instead learn very well to pretend that they succeed, your family and take what they needed labor to develop a masterly performance. They certainly accomplished actors. Aman enjoy and exercise authority. The case of John Wayne Gacy, The Killer Clown, is exemplary: After many years of work, was able to consolidate a good position in society. He had his own contracting company, organized large theme parties at his home, disguised as a clown and was to do social work with sick children to hospitals. Shortly before he was captured by access policy. He was loved and renowned.
To build the profile of a serial murderer, FBI specialists analyze the crime scene from a different perspective than that of other experts in criminology. The perfilistas not seek fingerprints, blood, semen or hair that can later serve as evidence for a conviction, but try to identify the crime scene provides features that allow the personality of a murderer. According to Douglas, the serial murderers have three fixed ideas-manipulation, domination and control of the situation, and a personality that can be divided into two broad categories:The murderer organized: a methodical guy carefully planned their crimes, stalks his prey, he brings his favorite weapon and only then, once the victim has in his possession-commits murder, slowly.

The murderer disorganized is dominated by sudden impulses, chooses his victims spontaneously dominates and kills with any weapon in their power The serial murderer follows its own logic, which almost never has to do with the general logic. Hence the difficulty to capture them. Most serial murderers have above average IQ, with a skill and a supernatural ability to look as normal as anybody else. So there are many cases that have eluded his pursuers for years, leaving behind a trail of corpses but no clue about their identities.

Keys to identify a psychopath
Y
ou may find at work or in life. Because while the term "psychopath" tend to have associated with serial murderers and other criminals, there is a kind of psychopath to the famous American psychiatrist Robert Hare, an expert on the subject, called "charismatic psychopath." And it's very easy to fall in love with them, because they are usually the most seductive of the world, the perfect lover. Showing talkative, persuasive, sympathetic, generous, gentle, very intelligent ... Tellers and large, but unfortunately it takes a while to discover. Let me digress: in his novel "Damages" (Editorial
Alfaguara), Argentina writer Matilde Sanchez threaded a frame around the link with one of these copies, narrated in the first person, and the truth is that anyone who has crossed them feel a deep empathy with the protagonist, who wants to escape but can not in this relationship that has been caught thanks to the good
offices of Victor, name me back to a personal encounter not tell for modesty. But let's get to business: Dr. Robert Hare has developed a very familiar list characteristics of to recognize, because the best thing to do with one of these scammers is emotional escape.
Do not try to change them, because studies have shown that psychopaths do not change. Not accepting the crumbs of fake affection they offer. Otherwise the result will be only psychological abuse.Features extracted from the list of Dr. Robert Hare: Glib and superficial charm: a tendency to be soft, recruiters, charming, clever, with verbal facility. The Psychopathic charm is not at all shy, cautious, not afraid to say something. A psychopath never still. For example, have freed themselves from the social convention of taking turns. Esteem ostentatious: an extremely high view of their own abilities and their worth,
self-assured, opinionated, cocky, boastful. Psychopaths are arrogant people who believe themselves superior beings. Pathological lying: moderate or high. Be moderately insightful, crafty, cunning, and ready, in the extreme form, be misleading, secrets, unscrupulous, manipulative and dishonest. Deception and manipulation: the use of deception to cheat, 7
cheat or defraud others for personal gain, lack of concern for the feelings and suffering of others. Shallow affect: emotional poverty or a limited range of deep emotions, interpersonal coldness in spite of signs of being overly gregarious. Insensitivity and lack of empathy: a lack of feelings toward people in general is cold, contemptuous, inconsiderate and tactless.
Promiscuous sexual behavior: a series of short relationships, superficial, and an indiscriminate selection of sexual partners; several simultaneously maintained relationships, a history of attempts to impose other sexually, or a sign of great pride recounting their sexual exploits or conquests. A lack of realistic, long-term goals: an inability or failure to develop and implement permanent plans and longterm goals. A nomadic existence, aimless, lacking direction in life. Impulsivity: recurring behaviors unpremeditated and lack reflection or planning; inability to resist temptation, frustrations, and impulses, a lack of understanding of the consequences of their actions, is foolhardy, rash, unpredictable, erratic, and reckless.
Failure to accept responsibility for their own actions: this is reflected in a low realizes, in the absence of scruples, in manipulation, denial of responsibility, and in an effort to manipulate others through this denial. Many short-term marital relationships: no commitment to long term relationships, which is reflected in inconsistent commitments, informal, and unreliable, including marriage.

For developing a criminal profile is necessary analysis and evaluation of these: Sources: crime scene, geographic profile, modus operandi and signature of the murderer and victimology. 1. Crime scene: The crime scene is, as its name suggests, the place that the murderer has chosen to kill his victim. Scenes can be more if the murderer has used several places from which traps his victim. However, the main scene where death is occurring or aggression, being the most important and the rest are secondary. Usually in elementary school where more transfer between the murderer and his victim, which is usually where there is more psychological and physical evidence. This is important for protecting the crime scene or scenes as each track key may be also necessary to assess whether there has been a manipulation of the scene, often called acts of precaution or forensic awareness (when removed physical evidence).
2. Geographic profile: This profile describes the geographic aspect where it operates the offender, his scenes crime, geographical points of these crimes and their assignments, the land on which acts, risk zone, base of operations. This page tells much of the criminal mind map, which is the description that offender has his head in the geographical areas in which it operates in your life. His house, your street, your neighborhood, your city are described in the criminal mind in terms of the experiences you have had with each of those places, he describes his trusted zone, its territory, areas of influence, how it moves and is moved by them. Understanding these data can give us information on what area you live, where we look for and where to.

r. Michael Stone is a professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia. His specialty is personality disorders most especially "borderline personality disorder." But in recent years he has concentrated as well on the extremes of personality, as shown by persons who show antisocial, psychopathic, and sadistic traits. This led to an interest in the kinds of people committing murder - spanning the spectrum from jealousy murders to serial killers and torturers. Recently he served as the host of the Discovery Channel show, "Most Evil," for which he was sent around the country interviewing serial killers and murderers of other types.
This experience, plus his research over the past twenty years, led to his writing The Anatomy of Evil (appearing in July of 2009). The book explores the "why" factor: what are the inborn and environmental factors that cause certain people to commit murder and, at the extreme end, to behave with uncommon cruelty toward their fellow man. Modeled after Dante's Inferno, the book progresses from the least to the most "evil" crimes, and contains a chapter devoted to recent contributions from neuroscience toward understanding the mind of the psychopath.

Dr. Michael Stone researched hundreds of methods used by the killers, serial murderers and sociopaths, and their motivations for committing such crimes.
neurologists, psychologists and forensic psychiatrists examined the psychological profile of the minds of most notable murderers in history.
Based on his studies developing a scale known as "the index of evil" that goes from level 1 to 22, to categorize those who murder and their motivations for doing so.This index of wickedness was unveiled at a series of documentaries on the Discovery Channel, in which through reconstructions, interviews with
