A interesting new

I’m going to talk you about a new that I read today called “Sick psychology of female sex criminals. It is a very interesting new because it explains or to try to explain because the women can commit sex crimes or other sort of savage acts for helping to her lovers. I choose this one because is not common to hear sex crime-woman relationship.

The article shows us different theories or ideas about causes of this psychopathological behavior such as, cultural influence, genetic influence, social influence and the emotional influence. The general idea says that the human being commit crime acts because the guilty and the remorse gets in the way of killing, and when I read this I thought about the Freudian concept called “individual with guilty conscience” in his article “Some characters in the psychoanalysis study”. In the new, the author says that genetic variable is very important in the human behavior, so in these cases of “criminals” the psychologist must pay attention to this factor. The cultural and social influences are easiest to explain because of the “socialization process”.

But the emotional variables are not easy to explain in the woman. In this case, the author says: “…The issue of why women abuse children and other women is such an emotional one that what people often fail to recognize is that there are more differences within the sexes than there are between them. Women can be just as aggressive and cruel as men, given the specific set of circumstances that brings forth that behavior…”

The catalyst to bring these behaviors to the surface, says the author, is the presence of a man who lacks the imagination to empathize with his victims or restrain his desire for power and sexual or violent gratification. So the woman sees herself in a dilemma: to help to procure the victim (humanity decision) or to risk losing her lover (if she doesn’t help him). Because of this, the woman commit crime acts because she think that she must help to her lover for avoiding that her lover ends up more interesting in the victim and not in her. Other theory says criminal men who not recognize to authorities choose to women with low self-esteem or low intelligence so these women so these women are dragged towards the crime. However, the author says today not exist a “universal theory” for explaining to the female criminal behavior.
