There may be a message after the killing, especially it is intended for the public. The motive is often presented to the general assembly of the cult as part of the group belief. The leader’s motivation, however, will be a controlling factor: “a macho way” to justify the homicide, tighten his control of the group, or eliminate troublemakers or less devoted followers who threatened his authority.

He may also have an inappropriate interest in the crime, for example, by frequently engaging in conversation about it.  

  Crime Classification Manual Part II Chapter 6 E 94 A STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES SECOND EDITION   Search Warrant Suggestions Vials of medications at the residence of the offender and literature concerning drugs beyond the scope of offender’s practice (for example, the Physician Desk Reference) are among search warrant suggestions. Other suggestions include diaries, journals, and pictures. The mercy killer may keep obituaries of victims. For the hero killer, search warrants should include newspaper articles commemorating previous rescue efforts and implements of arson. The investigator should scrutinize the literature found, checking each page for underlining and modification.

When the father is involved or the mother has confided to him that she is pregnant, dissociation and denial are not part of the crime; premeditation is implicated. In this light, a mother who does not prepare for the arrival of a newborn may not be denying the pregnancy but planning to be without the newborn.

Each victim violently coughed and choked, spewing liquid from their nose and mouth. Orren Walker was the only one who did not drink the liquid. He feigned swallowing and then imitated the other victims’ frantic choking. As Pierre filled Cortney’s mouth to overflowing, the liquid spilled down his neck, immediately burning his skin. As he swallowed, he felt the liquid scorching all the way into his stomach. He began to retch and vomit, as were the others, who were now being given their second dose of the liquid. Because of the damage it was doing to the victims’ stomachs, they were all vomiting. Pierre tried to remedy this situation by sealing the victims’ mouths with tape, but because of the blistering around their mouths, the tape would not stick very well.

Her ambitions were becoming insistent. At the age of forty-four, she had an increasing awareness of the gap between her dreams and reality. To her, the gap seemed to be widening faster as each year passed. That her husband was frequently unemployed rein- forced her belief that if she did not act soon, her dreams would slip away for good. In addition, she felt her husband was not much fun since he had stopped drinking.

  Crime Classification Manual Part II Chapter 6 4 A STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES SECOND EDITION   Percentages for all categories of murder except the unknown motives category have decreased. In 2003, there were 14,054 murders categorized. The number of murders classified in the category, however, has risen dramatically. In 2003, there were 4,476 murders categorized in the unknown cate- gory out of the 14,054 murders. This trend is particularly noteworthy in that it suggests both the heterogeneity of motives that give rise to murder and the clear inadequacy of a system that partitions murder essentially into three categories: felony, noncriminal, and miscellaneous. The miscellaneous and unknown motives categories represent wastebasket classifications. A classification system that fails to capture 40 to 50 percent of the cases (other and unknown) clearly is suboptimal in its ability to explain the universe of behavior.

Ressler, Editors     Likewise, court systems modeled on rehabilitating offenders need not concern themselves with practical considerations like applying punishment for its deterrent effect and therapeutic consolation to victims and their families. Those societies, typically afflicted with boundless rationalizations for predatory elements, relegate those invested in prosocial and law-abiding behavior in the pursuit of utopian visions of universal compassion. Justice for them is closely linked to presumed forgiveness. Such court systems also are inherently compromised. At the expense of stark accountability for war criminals and other unthinkable offenders nevertheless nurtured in their midst, the courts of such countries opt to cover their eyes so as to preserve the del...
