Here are Criminal Minds terminology for your own edification:

 

CRIMINAL MINDS & SERIAL KILLER TERMINOLOGY

 

 

1.     Homicidal Triad:  The three things all serial killers have in common in their background.  They are arson, bedwetting, and harming animals.

2.     LDSK: An offender who shoots their victims in order to create panic and fear; often improperly referred to as a “sniper”.

3.     Hero Homicide: Murders committed by a person looking for recognition without intent to kill.  Often committed by a health care provider.  These murders are the result of unsuccessful attempt to hurt someone and later come to the rescue.

4.     Organized Offender: A person who commits a planned crime, in a premeditated manner, leaving few to no clues.  This type of offender may also carry a “kit” to a potential crime scene, and will generally choose their victims with precise specifications.

5.     Psychopath: A personality disorder defined by long-term disorder characterized by enduring antisocial behavior, diminished empathy and remorse and disinhibited or bold behavior.

6.     Sociopath: A person with antisocial personality disorder.  Probably the most widely recognized personality disorder.  A sociopath is often will liked because of their charm and high charisma, but they do not usually care about other people.  They think mainly of themselves and often blame others for the things that they do. They have complete disregard for rules and lie constantly.  They seldom feel guilt or learn from punishments. Though some sociopaths have become murderers, most reveal their sociopathy through less deadly and sensational means.  Ted Bundy, Manson

7.     Profiler: A mental health professional and/or law enforcement officer with behavioral science training who helps determine the traits of an Unknown offender from aspects of the victim and crime scene.

8.     Unknown Suspect: This is used in lieu of a suspect’s name.

9.     Disorganized Offender: A person who commits a crime haphazardly or opportunistically, using weapons found at the scene and often leaving clues. (Motives are more difficult to discover and signatures harder to find).

10.  Criminal Profiling: The use of observation of a crime scene, or crime scenes, and the pattern of crimes to determine investigative relevant characteristics of the perpetrator; it is used as a guide for police and other authorities to narrow down a list of suspects and devise a strategy for questioning.

11.  Piquerism: A paraphilia in which one finds pleasure in stabbing or cutting bodies with a sharp object.

12.  Sadist: Someone who obtains pleasure from inflicting pain on others.

 

 

13.  Signature:  Unique and integral part of the offender’s behavior.  Goes beyond the actions needed to commit the crime. Personal expression or ritual based on fantasies of the offender. The signature aspect remains a constant enduring part of each offender and never changes.

14.  Modus operandi (Motive): Criminal’s deliberate actions while committing the crime. Victimology.  Developed over time to suit needs of the particular crime so it can change. Mainly only the required actions needed to successfully commit the crime.

19.  Victim: A victim of a crime is an identifiable person who has been harmed individually and directly by the perpetrator, rather than by society as a whole.  However, this may not always be the case, as with victims of white collar crime, who may not be clearly identifiable or directly linked to crime against a particular individual.

20.  Serial Killer: Traditionally defined as a person who has murdered three or more people over a period of more than a month, with down time (a “cooling off period”) between murders.  The motivation for killing is usually based on psychological gratification.

21.  Signature Killers: The killers’ signature is his psychological calling card that he leaves at each crime scene across a spectrum of several murders. 

22.  MO (Motive): An MO accounts for the type of crime and property involved.  It includes the victim type, the time and place the crime was committed, the type of tools or implements used; the way criminal gained entry or how he approached or subdued his victim. Whether he used associated or distinguished trademarks he may have left.

23.  Qualitative: Research gathers information that is not in numerical form. Data is typically descriptive data and as such is harder to analyze.

24.  Quantitative: Research used to quantify the problem by way of generating numerical data or data that can be transformed into useable statistics. It is used to quantify attitudes, opinions, behaviors, and other defined variables.

25.  Anger Excitation Behavior: A classification of sexual violence motivated by arousal at the suffering of the victim.

26.  Anger Retaliatory Behavior: A classification of excessive sexual violence motivated by revenge over imagined wrongs.

27.  Anthropophagy: Cannibalism.  This often occurs in murders that incorporate vampirism.

39.  Dissociation – Detachment from an idea or location which alters normal organization of thinking. This can lead to a loss of identity and/or consciousness.

40.  Dissociative Identity Disorder/Multiple Personality Disorder – This disorder is characterized by more than one personality sharing the same body; it is often used by defense attorneys to relieve their client of the responsibility of any wrong-doing.

42.  Home Invasion – An offense occurring while the residents are home.

 

 

43.  Insanity – A legal term for a mental disease or defect that if present at the time of a crime absolves the person of responsibility.

44.  Kevlar Vest - bullet proof vest designed to "catch" a bullet in a web of very strong fibers.

Additional energy is absorbed in each successive layer of material in the vest, until such time as the bullet has been stopped.

45.  Love Map – The developmental representation or template formed in one’s mind depicting the idealized lover or idealized situation for which intimate relationships occur.

67.  ViCAP – (Violent Criminal Apprehension Program) A data information center used by the FBI to collect, sort and analyze information about crimes and their perpetrators.

68.  Victimization – An act that exploits someone or makes a victim of them, such as child pornography, molesting a child or sexually assaulting any person or child.

69.  Victimology- An important aspect of investigating a violent crime is an understanding of the victim and the relation that their lifestyle or personality characteristics may have contributed to the offender choosing them as a victim. Victims are classified during an investigation in three general categories that describe the level of risk their lifestyle represents in relation to the violent crime that has been committed:

1.     High Risk Victims: Victims in this group have a lifestyle that makes them a higher risk for being a victim of a violent crime. The most obvious high risk victim is the prostitute. Prostitutes are high risk because they will get into a stranger's car go to secluded areas with strangers, and for the most part attempt to conceal their actions for legal reasons. Offenders often rely on all these factors and specifically target prostitutes because it lowers their chances of becoming a suspect in the crime.

2.     Moderate Risk Victims: Victims that fall into this category are lower risk victims, but for some reason were in a situation that placed them in a greater level of risk. A person that is stranded on a dark, secluded highway due to a flat tire that accepts a ride from a stranger and is then victimized would be a good example of this type of victim level risk.

3.     Low Risk Victims: The lifestyle of these individuals would normally not place them in any degree of risk for becoming a victim of a violent crime. These individuals stay out of trouble, do not have peers that are criminals, are aware of their surroundings and attempt to take precautions to not become a victim. They lock the doors, do not use drugs, and do not go into areas that are dark and secluded etc. (Source: Victimology). Episodes: 2.01 The Fisher King 2,3.05 Seven Seconds, 3.09 Penelope .

71.  OverKill- The amount by which destruction or the capacity for destruction exceeds what is necessary. Excessive use, treatment, or action and or too much of something.

72.  PCL-R: Psychopathy Checklist – Revised. Includes 20 items, developed by Robert D. Hare to assess psychopathy (Widiger & Lynam, 1998, pp. 173-178).

Matts, you try-sexual, this is absurdity. I thought this would be an easy game when I signed up, but clearly that was a delusion. You are a sadist in every sense of the word. As an act of anger retaliatory behavior, I will be launching a blitz attack at some point. Don't rule out a full blown assault, given my frustration with you.

Was this overkill? I was going to keep going but I have to eat my chicken nuggets now.
