Bullies or those who Mob and Racist appear to exhibit both sociopathic and psychopathic behavior

[ShakenFaith]

My original question  was:

 

Per reported crime among natives of this country in a population of 5 million, western, highly industrialized and secularly developed country

 What drives this behavior in such a homogenous society of so few?

 

I mean in such a 'warm' and 'caring' society of mostly the same race, culture of so few what drives 1 in 3 in just a specific demographic to commit crime against there own?

I don't know. Perhaps they got the urge for speed driving? Or they tried smoking a joint. Maybe a kid though it was cool to shoplift a beer.

 

A surprising one-third of all Norwegian boys have been charged with a crime by the police. (Illustrative photo: Shutterstock)

However, only a very small percentage of these will become repeat offenders. On the whole, young Norwegian men between the ages of 15-25 will commit a crime that leads to prosecution only once in their lives.

(...)

The Norwegian prison population is more diversified than one would often think. There are individuals who are generally well-functioning, well-integrated members of society while others are repeat offenders with serious alcohol and drug problems.

 

Within the context of the article:

 

"Norwegian men between the ages of 15-25 will commit a crime that leads to prosecution only once in their lives."

 

"one-third of all Norwegian boys have been charged with a crime by the police" =prosecution

Prosecution= incarceration

 

But as you advised reading the article again partly  answers my original question too:

"others are repeat offenders with serious alcohol and drug problems."

For example:

 

The man who is charged with the murder of Anja Weløy Aarseth confessed to murder and sexual abuse Thursday afternoon.

According to the 23-year-old man's defense attorney, the accused confessed that he was guilty of sexual abuse voluntarily. His confession that he was guilty of murder came earlier Thursday morning.

The police has asked that he spend two out of eight weeks in custody in complete isolation, which the accused has agreed to, his lawyer Reidar Andresen explains.

The accused has also explained to Andresen that he was under influence the influence of drugs while he committed the act, but is affected by the current situation and remembers what happened. So far the accused has not given any motive for the crime, Andresen tells NRK.

Possibly thanks to Dr Torbjørn Skardhamar research  this law will go into effect.

May file DNA of all criminals sentenced to prison

 

As of today, all prisoners with a sentence of more than 60 days have their DNA taken and registered. However, as early as next month the Attorney General may change the law to allow for more registrations.

We are considering changing the law so that we can register everybody with an unconditional prison sentence, regardless of how long their sentence is, says Attorney General Tor-Aksel Busch.

Police were able to match DNA from the girl who was killed in Ålesund last week with the DNA of the man who murdered her. Police confirmed Wednesday that the DNA-registry was what led to the man's arrest.

Almost 34.000 people are currently filed in the DNA registry. The man charged with killing Anja Weløy Aarseth was in the registry because his previous sentence was 90 days. Had his sentence been less than 60 days his DNA would not have been filed.

Busch notes how the incidents the past few days show the importance of a DNA registry:

"Unfortunately, the more people who are filed in the actual registry the better, and the more likely the case is to be solved. It is not unlikely that people come back and commit another crime," says Busch.

The new law is expected to take effect on October 1.

Psychopaths Have Distinct Brain Structure, Study Finds

Reuters  |  Posted: 05/07/2012 4:00 pm Updated: 07/07/2012 5:12 am

By Kate Kelland

LONDON, May 7 (Reuters) - Scientists who scanned the brains of men convicted of murder, rape and violent assaults have found the strongest evidence yet that psychopaths have structural abnormalities in their brains.

The researchers, based at King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry, said the differences in psychopaths' brains mark them out even from other violent criminals with anti-social personality disorders (ASPD), and from healthy non-offenders.

Nigel Blackwood, who led the study, said the ability to use brain scans to identify and diagnose this sub-group of violent criminals has important implications for treatment.

The study showed that psychopaths , who are characterised by a lack of empathy, had less grey matter in the areas of the brain important for understanding other peoples' emotions.

While cognitive and behavourial treatments may benefit people with anti-social personality disorders, the same approach may not work for psychopaths with brain damage, Blackwood said.

"To get a clear idea of which treatments are working, you've got to clearly define what people are like going into the treatment programmes," he said in a telephone interview.

Essi Viding a professor in the psychology and language sciences department of University College London, who was not involved in Blackwood's study, said it provided "weighty new evidence" about the importance of distinguishing psychopathic from non-psychopathic people rather than grouping them together.

The findings also have implications for the justice system, because linking psychopathy to brain function raises the prospect of arguing a defence of insanity.

Interest in what goes on inside the heads of violent criminals has been sharpened by the trial of Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian who massacred 77 people last July.

Two court-appointed psychiatric teams who examined Breivik came to opposite conclusions about his mental health. The killer himself has railed being called insane.


LESS GREY MATTER IN BRAIN'S "SOCIAL" AREAS

Blackwood's team used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to scan the brains of 44 violent adult male offenders in Britain who had already been diagnosed with anti-social personality disorders.

The crimes they had committed included murder, rape, attempted murder and grievous bodily harm.

Of the 44 men scanned, 17 met the diagnosis for ASPD plus psychopathy and 27 did not. The researchers also scanned the brains of 22 healthy non-offenders.

The results showed that the psychopaths' brains had significantly less grey matter in the anterior rostral prefrontal cortex and temporal poles than the brains of the non-psychopathic offenders and non-offenders.

These areas of the brain are important for understanding other people's emotions and intentions, and are activated when people think about moral behaviour, the researchers said.

Damage to these areas is linked with a lack of empathy, a poor response to fear and distress and a lack of self-conscious emotions such as guilt or embarrassment.

Lindsay Thomson, a professor of forensic psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh who was not involved in this study, said Blackwood's findings add to evidence that psychopathy is a distinct neurodevelopmental brain disorder.

Research shows that most violent crimes are committed by a small group of persistent male offenders with ASPD.

In England and Wales, for example, around half of male prisoners meet diagnostic criteria for ASPD. A major review of studies covering 23,000 prisoners from 62 countries conducted in 2002 found that 47 percent had anti-social personality disorder.

Such people typically react in an aggressive way to frustration or perceived threats, but most are not psychopaths, the researchers wrote in a summary of their study, which was published in the Archives of General Psychiatry journal.

There are clear behaviour differences among people with ASPD depending on whether they also have psychopathy. Their patterns of offending are different, suggesting the need for a separate approach to treatment.

"We describe those without psychopathy as 'hot-headed' and those with psychopathy as 'cold-hearted'," Blackwood explained.

"The 'cold-hearted' psychopathic group begin offending earlier, engage in a broader range and greater density of offending behaviours, and respond less well to treatment programmes in adulthood compared to the 'hot-headed' group." (Reporting by Kate Kelland; Editing by Rosalind Russell)

 

Teenagers both male and female engage in mobbing racial and otherwise here in Norway as well as worldwide, which  for "1/3 " males here in Norway appear to be a 'steping stone' for their first criminal prosecution.

 

I read an article that parents can actively teach children empathy especially if they see unsympathetic tendencies at an early age....thats good news!

Something that came up in therapy is that it is very dificult if not impossilble to feel sympathy for outwardly racist, mobbing sociopaths when they are visited upon by the adversity of their karma. 

I guess if anyone goes out of their way, target anyone for abuse is in fact defective for some reason or another.

An interesting element also brought up in therapy was that openly outwardly racisist, and those who bully do not have respect for themselves...their unempathtic targeting abuse at others is a manifestation of their own lack of self respect!!   That most definitly is defective!  So what are some of the possible causes??

Perhaps some at an early age will  be able to learn to curb their mobbing  behavior due to these consequences  and have time to reflect on how to behave humanely toward others.

If these percentages are remotely satistical fact....this explains so much!

 

0.3% racist (strict definition)

3% racist (as wide as possible definition)

40% very sceptic to certain other cultures, due to statistics proving said cultures to be not very well suited for the current modern society. And wanting to reduce these diffculties by reduced immigration, integration etc

99% discriminate for example in job recruitment situations, your not gonna hire  a high risk person vs a low risk person, its not racism its capitalism. But your gonna hear alot of cries about RACISM related to this, even if its not racism

 

People from the 40% and 99% group are gonna get labeled as racist by certain individuals, and thus your gonna hear alot of accusations about racism, even if its actually not a big problem in Norway today"  (end of qoute)

Xenophobia

(...)

Originally the word xenophobia comes from the Greek words xénos, meaning 'the stranger' and 'the guest' and phóbos, meaning 'fear'. Thus, xenophobia stands for 'fear of the stranger', but usually the term is taken to mean 'hatred of strangers'¹. Xenophobia can be understood as "an attitudinal orientation of hostility against non-natives in a given population".²

In contrast to sociobiologists who consider xenophobia to be a universal phenomenon, social scientists describe it as one among several possible forms of reactions generated by anomic situations in the societies of modern states. Furthermore, it is growing out of the existence of essentialist symbolic and normative systems that legitimate processes of integration or exclusion. Thus, xenophobic behaviour is based on existing racist, ethnic, religious, cultural, or national prejudice. Xenophobia can be defined as the "attitudes, prejudices and behaviour that reject, exclude and often vilify persons, based on the perception that they are outsiders or foreigners to the community, society or national identity." ³

Xenophobia and racism often overlap, but are distinct phenomena. Whereas racism usually entails distinction based on physical characteristic differences, such as skin colour, hair type, facial features, etc, xenophobia implies behaviour based on the idea that the other is foreign to or originates from outside the community or nation.⁴

Xenophobes are a defective demented lot indeed and most definitely fit in with and follow the same rational of  psychopaths as this story reveals.

The discussion on 'Hate' toward those who harm, or violate rights of others was very interesting what are your thoughts?

 

(...)"Hate is a way to manage pain , says Eva Therese Naess , professor of psychology and psychologist at the University of Tromsø.

- Hat made ​​up of strong feelings and intense. The main emotions are anger and fear. Hate is a reaction to the pain we feel after being seriously violated , or after someone else is hurt or injured . To feel hatred can provide the power we need to stand up , to speak up and put borders. Meanwhile, we are afraid krenkeren .

It is clear there is "law" to hate , says Næss .

- Someone needs to hate because it mobilizes them and provide a sense of control in everyday life. It is important to emphasize that no one can say that you should not hate that feeling is taboo. It is a natural reaction and a way to cope with tremendous pain after loss or a violation , says psychologist specialist .

- Hat can protect your self respect and dignity , says philosopher Espen Gamlund , associate professor in the Department of Philosophy, University of Bergen."(...)

Mindre utsatt ungdom

20. desember 2013

I 2012 oppgav nesten 17 prosent i alderen 16-24 år at de i løpet av det siste året ble offer for ett eller flere tilfeller av tyveri, skadeverk, vold eller trusler om vold. Denne andelen er likevel vesentlig lavere enn i alle de fem undersøkelsene i perioden 1991-2007 hvor dette er kartlagt.

"We saw that crime reduced, there were less drugs,” Bakken explained. “More were happy at school, and fewer dreaded going. They were better at doing homework, and in many ways met the demands of adult society.” He said 25 years ago more teens hung around on corners and in shopping centres, with higher rates of drug use, shoplifting and vandalism."

This explains the antisocial behavior and the abuse of drugs of  many...even as adults...a vicious cycle indeed.
