THE ROLE OF BEHAVIORAL PROFILING
IN UNSOLVED SERIAL RAPE
The following are the five different rapist types as defined by
A. Nicholas Groth[19], as developed by Marshall et al[34], as
defined by the NCAVC in the Crime Classification Manual[6], as
developed in articles published by the NCAVC regarding serial
rape (Burgess[3], [5], [9], [10], [21], [22], [23]), as presented
by S.A. Max Thiel(ret.)[41], and as discussed most recently by
Holmes et al[26]. The five different rapist types outlined in
this work are: Power Reassurance, Power Assertive, Anger
Retaliatory, Anger Excitation, and Opportunistic.
When applying this typology to solved or unsolved serial rape
cases, the investigator will invariably notice that actual
rapists are not generally represented by the typology in pure
form. It is most likely that a rapist will fit into more than one
of the categories below. What the investigator must discern is
what characteristics the offenders have, and then decide which
typology best represents a particular rapist, all the while with
an eye to potential future behavior based on the recognizable
overlapping. For example, a Power Assertive rapist could develop
over time into an Anger Excitation rapist. The potential for that
could be measured by Anger Excitation behaviors identified in
early rapes, and watching them evolve from incidence to
incidence, as the rapist gains confidence and experience.
Included below are the traits of each rapist type with specific
examples meant to demonstrate key behaviors of each:

II.Power Assertive
(AKA Exploitative rapist?)
Method of attack: Con or Surprise
A. Fantasy Behavior
1.Verbal/Script
-Does not generally want the victim to be
verbally or otherwise involved in the rape
-Gives sexual instructions/commands
-His pleasure is primary
-Very "macho"
-Uses a great deal of profanity
-Demeans and humiliates the victim
-Language is offensive and abusive
-Verbally explicit about sex
-"Do what I say and you won't get hurt"
-"Shut up or I'll kill you"
2. Sexual Behavior
-He will do whatever he wants to the victim,
sexually or otherwise
-No fondling or kissing or foreplay behavior
-Repeated sexual assaults
-He may sexually punish or abuse his victims
-He may engage in pull, pinch or bite
behaviors
-His sex goal is capture, conquer, and
control
-Uses the victim as a prop only; an object
for his sexual fantasy
3. Physical Behavior
-The rapist will choose locations that are
convenient and safe
-He will engage in moderate, excessive, or
brutal levels of force that increase with
victim resistance or his level of sexual
dysfunction during the offense
-The rapist may rip or tear the victims
clothing
-The rapist may engage in repeated sexual
assaults during an attack
B. MO Behavior[19], [14]
-The victim can be pre-selected or opportunistic(too
good to pass up)
-Age range tends to be same, can vary with opportunity
-Victim chosen by availability, accessibility, and
vulnerability
-The location is victim dependent
-Weapon can be involved, or substituted with higher
levels of force
-Physical aggression is used to initially overpower the
victim
-Victim may be held captive in some fashion while being
raped
Example:[19]
A statement made by a Power Assertive rapist regarding his
reasons for rape:
"All my life I felt I was being controlled,
particularly by my parents, that people used me without
any regard for my feelings, for my needs, and in my
rapes the important part was not the sexual part, but
putting someone else in the position in which they were
totally helpless. I bound and gagged and tied up my
victims and made them do something they didn't want to
do, which was exactly the way I felt in my life. I felt
helpless, very helpless in that I couldn't do anything
about the satisfaction I wanted. Well, I decided I'm
going to put them in a position where they can't do
anything about what I want to do. The can't refuse me.
They can't reject me. They're going to have no say in
the matter. I'm in charge now."
This type of rapist has absolutely no doubt about his own
adequacy and masculinity. In fact, he uses rape as an expression
of his own male virility. In his perception, he is exercising his
prerogative as male to commit rape.
This rapist may grow more confident over time, as his
egocentricity is very high. He may begin to do things which might
lead to his identification if fully investigated. Police may
interpret this as a sign that the rapist desires to be caught.
What is actually true is that the rapist has no respect for the
police, has learned that he can rape without fear of
identification or capture, and subsequently does not take
precautions that he has learned are unnecessary.
It is not this rapist's desire to harm the victim, but to posses
her sexually. Power over his victim's sexuality is his means of
expressing his mastery, strength, control, authority, and
identity to himself (psychologically compensatory). The goal of
this rapist is sexual conquest and control, and he will use only
the force he deems necessary during a particular rape to
accomplish it.

public attention
The effort to resist the need to fire Starr has
overwhelmed reason. Starr supporters vehemently
posit the absurd claim that while Attorney General
Janet Reno can fire Starr, she must be denied
the authority to investigate Starr. Try following
that ludicrous proposition to its logical conclusion.
The Doctor has a duty to cure the patient but is
denied the opportunity to diagnose potential illness.
As usual, Starr and his supporters continue to spin
reason on its head. The New York Times has even
picked up the spin and claims that Janet Reno
is a politicized Attorney General. On the contrary,
Janet Reno has earned the right to claim her
independence. Having been pressured into appointing
a Special Counsel to investigate Clinton when none
was required, she has demonstrated her willingness
to go the extra mile, to prove her independence.
In retrospect, she went too far and was too
accommodating and Starr proved that in nauseating
spades. The purpose of the current effort to demonize
the so called “politicized” Attorney General is to
make Janet Reno a lame duck or to re-write the
Independent Counsel statute to in effect, abolish
the Attorney General’s right to fire Ken Starr.
It’s a cute scam and it would give Ken Starr the
power of an absolute monarch, but Starr doesn’t
have a Kingdom to command. The lunatic fringe
will continue to manipulate the legal system
in effort to produce a Joe DiGenova to clear Starr,
but even OJ Simpson did better than that -an entire
jury cleared him.

The first lady has described the Arkansas land dealings known as Whitewater

What does that say about her creation of the VRWC? She Bopp!

You don't think it was an attempt to divert attention from
the allegations made against the exploitive rapist, do you?
