Introduction to the Psychology of Criminal Behavior prov

Introduction to the Psychology of Criminal Behavior provides a
n overview of the intersection of
psychology and the criminal justice system. The biopsychosocia
l factors that may influence criminal
behavior are examined such as aggression, psychopathy, mental
health disorders, and brain dysfunction.
Finally, appropriate psychological interventions are evaluated to
determine the best course of action for
predicting and treating criminal behavior in both juveniles and a
dults.
This course provides students with foundational knowledge rega
rding the psychological and sociological
characteristics associated with criminal behavior. The textbook
and other course sources examine the
complex nature of criminal behaviors through a variety of theori
es, methodologies, and perspectives.
Case studies and real‐ life examples are also included. Through
discussions, journal activities, written
assignments, and a Comprehensive Case Study Report Final Pap
er, students will utilize course content as
well as additional scholarly research to critically consider conce
pts that focus on the evolution of
criminal and delinquent behavior.
Throughout the course, you will notice Twitter feeds have been
added after each weekly Introduction.
These feeds are from major criminal justice organizations and ot
her sources that are relevant to this
course; the feeds are recommended only and not required. Twitt

er is as useful as the links it provides;
some are more useful than others, so keep an eye out for any of
these credible source materials for
support in your discussions and written assignments.
Week 1 kicks off the course by examining mental disorders that
are most frequently correlated with
criminal behavior. You will learn that, contrary to stereotype, in
dividuals who suffer from mental
disorders do not commit a high percentage of crimes. You will a
lso learn about psychopathy, its
characteristics, and its relationship to criminal behavior.

by Day 3. Prior to beginning
work on this discussion, read the article, “Sentencing Advocates
Enhance Reasoned
Court Decisions,” then read the list of infamous murderers whos
e high profile crimes
dominated headlines for many years. Choose one of these indivi
duals to become your
client for the remainder of the course. That is, this individual an
d case will be the topic
of your final assignment in the course:
In your online classroom, select the link “Killer Bios” for a list
of these infamous murderers. In
that link, you will find several Ashford University Library sourc
es on each murderer. In
addition, there are some starter links listed below under each na

Imagine that you have been retained by the client’s defense atto
rney as a death penalty
mitigation expert. Your role in this capacity is to work as a sent
encing advocate on behalf of
your client (the defendant). In Week 5, you will prepare a comp
rehensive case study report.
This report will contain an analysis of the psychological factors
that may have contributed to
the commission of the crimes in the chosen case study and how t
hese psychological factors
should be considered as a basis for a prison sentence less than t
he death penalty. For the
purpose of this discussion, we are proceeding as if the client is
still alive and has not yet

been sentenced (though all of these cases have already been res
olved). In your initial post of
300 words, please examine the following and address the questi
ons below:
Tell us which client you chose and why. That is, what was it ab
out the case that
interested you?
Based upon your preliminary research on this case/client and yo
ur assigned
textbook readings, what mental disorders might your client be s
uffering from
that may have contributed to the crime?
Describe the disorder including its signs and symptoms. Connec
t those that you
believe apply to your client’s behavior.
What does your textbook say about the likelihood that your clie
nt’s mental
states contributed to the crime?
Discuss whether psychopathy, insanity, or competence to stand t
rial are potential
issues in your client’s case based upon your preliminary researc
h of the case and
your assigned textbook readings.
Support your claims with examples from the required materials,

other scholarly
and/or credible sources, and properly cite any references.

one additional source to your classmates that may be helpful to t
hem in investigating the
relationship between the client’s history and the crime. Respond
in a substantive manner
with specific examples to extend their thinking. Support your cl

Journal
1.
Diagnosing Criminal Defendants [WLOs: 3, 4] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3].
Due by Day 7. Prior to
beginning this journal, read the article, “Are Forensic Experts B
iased by the Side that
Retained Them?,” and examine the subjective nature of forensic
psychology concerning
the evaluation of criminal defendants. In a one‐ to two‐ page jo
urnal entry:
Evaluate the influences that can contribute to differential diagn
oses depending
upon which side hires the psychologist to evaluate a criminal de
fendant.
o Determine how to minimize cognitive bias.
As you reflect on the article for your journal, analyze the ethica
l considerations of
a defendant.
the legal implications of a negative diagnosis.
Based on your assigned readings, including this article, do you
believe that such
assessments as the PCL‐ R Checklist can provide accurate predi
ctions of an individual’s
behavior? Cite examples from your readings that support your a
nalysis.

Just as helpful tip: remember to read all the directions and requ
irements for each discussion question,
so that you do not miss any components of the discussion questi
on. For some additional assistance with
your journal and final project I will be posting some articles tha
t I have used while teaching this class on‐
ground that students have found very useful.
I know that this sounds like a lot, but I know that each of you ca
n do this and will do well. If you have
any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me
via email, I will do whatever I can to
assist you with your problem or concern.
This is one of my favorite classes to teach as we can apply a lot
of what we learn to ourselves and how
we deal with issues in our lives. As I told my students on‐ grou
nd – attempt to put yourself in the
criminal shoes and see things through their eyes, sometimes it c
an tell us a lot. Let’s get ready to have
some fun over the next 5 weeks.

Organizational Culture and Design
Derrick Bradley

Introduction

Ideally, organizational culture is communicated to all workers.
It directs what they do and how they do it. Additionally, it is
embedded in all activities in a bid to improve operational
efficiency. As for IDEO, the culture is about helping one
another in complex tasks. Employees work as teams and
whenever one needs assistance, it becomes easy to get it. As
such, culture makes all tasks easy. Different techniques are used
to realize it as discussed in the following slides.

Organizational culture is communicated to all workers
It directs what they do and how they do it
IDEO culture is about helping one another in complex tasks
The culture makes all tasks easy
Different techniques are used to realize it
Organizational culture at IDEO
Leadership conviction to encourage collaborations (Kinicki &
Williams, 2020)
A company culture with employees’ roles as helpers (as seen in
fig.1 here)

Every worker has been assigned a helper
Understanding helpfulness as better than the competition
IDEO’s leadership normally encourages collaborations among
the employees (Kinicki & Williams, 2020). Complex problems
require more help. To ensure that the employees can work on
complex problems, they join hands and find solutions.
Brainstorming is one way they apply. As part of the company
culture, the workers act as helpers, as seen in fig.1 presented.
They develop networks and participate in daily activities as a
way to build the helping culture. It is also crucial to note that
each worker is assigned a helper so that he/she can offer a
helping hand whenever the task is complicated. Finally, the
workers have grown to deeply understand bout helpfulness. It
produces a better outcome than the competition. When people
join hands and share their thoughts, tasks become simple and
doable compared to when each person is engaged in a task
trying to compete with others.
3
Techniques used by IDEO
Leaders’ support.
Using collaborative approaches like brainstorming, clan culture
(Kinicki & Williams, 2020).
Fig.2 indicates a brainstorming session at IDEO.
Teamwork vs. competition
Open offices, easy to access helpers

IDEO has embedded the organizational culture through several
techniques. First, support from the leaders has made it easy for
people to interact freely and learn from one another. Again,
leaders have allowed employees to have helpers. Without
leadership support, the culture would not have succeeded.
Another technique is incorporating collaborative approaches
like brainstorming in finding solutions (as in fig.2 above by
IDEO workers). It promotes the clan culture where employees
participate (Kinicki & Williams, 2020). The process brings
people together to find ways of addressing some organizational
challenges. Teamwork has also promoted a helping culture. It is
contrary to competition where people work on individual tasks
which can be complicated and take more time. Lastly, IDEO has
open offices where workers can easily access helpers and have
the problem solved.
4
Organizational culture used in our organization
Our organizational culture entails better salaries and
performance-based incentives (Al Mamun, & Hasan, 2017).
Employee recognition
Employee engagement (Ruck et al., 2017).
Many employee benefits (Kinicki & Williams, 2002).
IDEO organizational culture can be implemented in our
organization

Our organizational culture entails better salaries and
performance-based incentives meant to make employees strive
to improve their productivity to increase their salaries (Al
Mamun, & Hasan, 2017). Moreover, there is an employee
recognition program where the best employees are recognized
and awarded. The program makes others work hard so that they
too can be recognized. Employee engagement helps us
communicate with the management and offer our feedback as
seen in fig. 3 (Ruck et al., 2017). We also have an innovative
workplace culture whereby the workers are given the
opportunity to explain their ideas and if they work, they are
rewarded for that. Finally, we benefit from company perks like
retirement, health, and life insurance as well as paid leaves
(Kinicki & Williams, 2002). With the success that IDEO has
achieved, its organizational culture can be implemented in our
organization.
5
Mechanisms Our Company Can Use To Adopt The IDEO
Culture
Encourage teamwork and group perks. Fig.4 has IDEO
employees posing as a team.
Have employees get helpers
Exercise open office culture to reach one another
Have departmental forums to address complex challenges

To adopt the IDEO organizational culture of helping in our
organization, the company must encourage teamwork and group
perks. Teamwork entails working as groups and not individuals
(as seen in fig. 4, IDEO workers). Again, instead of awarding
and recognizing individual workers as we normally do, groups
should be recognized. As for group perks, these are team awards
such as group vacations to rewards groups and not individuals.
The employees should also get helpers, people who can be
easily accessed whenever there is a problem or a difficult task.
Importantly, the organization needs to exercise an open office
culture so that a worker can reach one another at any time.
Finally, we must have departmental forums to address complex
challenges. The brainstorming process is one way that
employees within the department can effectively gather ideas of
addressing issues.
6
Conclusion
IDEO’s organizational culture is about helping.
All tasks are easy because of concerted efforts are made.
Techniques used include collaborations, teamwork, and open
culture.
Our organization use performance-based incentives, employee
recognition, innovative workplace culture, and many employee
benefits.
To adopt the culture, we need to encourage teamwork and group
perks, employees get helpers, utilize open office and have
departmental forums.

Undeniably, IDEO’s organizational culture is about helping. All
tasks become easy when concerted efforts are made. Employees
can easily access help from their colleagues when they need it.
They leverage techniques such as collaborations, teamwork, and
open culture. In our organization, we use performance-based
incentives, employee recognition, innovative workplace culture,
and many employee benefits. We can adopt IDEO’s culture to
make all tasks easy. To adopt the culture, we need to encourage
teamwork and group perks, employees get helpers, utilize the
open office, and have departmental forums.

Imagine that you have been retained by the client’s defense
attorney as a death penalty mitigation expert. Your role in this
capacity is to work as a
sentencing advocate on behalf of your client (the defendant). In
Week 5, you will prepare a comprehensive case study report.
This report will contain an
analysis of the psychological factors that may have contributed
to the commission of the crimes in the chosen case study and
how these psychological
factors should be considered as a basis for a prison sentence
less than the death penalty. For the purpose of this discussion,
we are proceeding as if the
client is still alive and has not yet been sentenced (though all of
these cases have already been resolved). In your initial post of
300 words, please
examine the following and address the questions below:
• Tell us which client you chose and why. That is, what was it
about the case that interested you?
• Based upon your preliminary research on this case/client and
your assigned textbook readings, what mental disorders might

your client be suffering
from that may have contributed to the crime?
• Describe the disorder including its signs and symptoms.
Connect those that you believe apply to your client’s behavior.
• What does your textbook say about the likelihood that your
client’s mental states contributed to the crime?
• Discuss whether psychopathy, insanity, or competence to
stand trial are potential issues in your client’s case based upon
your preliminary research of
the case and your assigned textbook readings.
• Support your claims with examples from the required
materials, other scholarly and/or credible sources, and properly
cite any references.
Guided Response: Review several of your peers’ initial posts
and, in a minimum of 100 words each, respond to at least two of
your classmates’ posts by
Day 7. As you read through your peers’ posts, please respond to
at least two of your classmates who chose a different “client”
than you chose. Be sure to
provide constructive feedback, and ask follow-up questions to
your peers regarding their client and case. That is, focus on
what your classmates write
Search entries or author
about their clients’ biopsychosocial histories. Is this similar to
your client’s history? Suggest at least one additional source to
your classmates that may be
helpful to them in investigating the relationship between the

client’s history and the crime. Respond in a substantive manner
with specific examples to
extend their thinking. Support your claims with examples from
the required materials and/or other scholarly or credible
sources, and properly cite any
references. You are encouraged to post your required replies
earlier in the week to promote more meaningful and interactive
discourse in this discussion
forum. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m.

friend of her grandparents, and was allegedly beaten by her
grandfather (Blanco,
n.d.) Psychological disorders that may have contributed to the
crime are schizophrenia, which was a believed diagnosis from
her father, and anti-
social personality behavior, which stems from a consistent
pattern of adverse reactions that remained from adolescence
through adult life (DeLisi,
Schwartz, & Klein, 2019). Signs and symptoms of schizophrenia

that are associated with my client are persecutory delusions and
disorganized
speech. A persecutory delusion stems from an unfounded belief
that people are intentionally trying to hurt the individual
(DeLisi, Schwartz, & Klein,
2019). Due to Aileen’s past of rape and sexual abuse, any
actions from the victims could trigger traumatic experiences
from the
past. Disorganized speech, which is also referred to as loose
associations, comes from unorganized expressions that are
commonly bewildering
(DeLisi, Schwartz, & Klein, 2019). Aileen’s last words were,
“I’d like to say I’m sailing with the rock, and I’ll be back like
Independence Day, with
Jesus June 6. Like the movie, big mothership and all, I’ll be
back.” (Blanco, n.d.). Disorganized speech is generally
associated with disorderly
thoughts (DeLisi, Schwartz, & Klein, 2019).
The textbook states that people dealing with a disorder
involving psychosis have a higher probability of committing a
crime when they are
hallucinating, delusional, or experiencing a loss of reality.
Severely mentally ill individuals have a higher probability of
committing a violent crime
when experiencing a psychotic episode (DeLisi, Schwartz, &
Klein, 2019). Competence to stand trial is a potential issue in
Wuornos’
case because psychotic individuals are said to lack the cognitive
understanding to determine right from wrong due
to their psychiatric disorder (DeLisi, Schwartz, & Klein, 2019).
However, if Aileen proves competent and still committed the
crimes, then this aspect
contradicts the notion that her mental state contributed to her
actions.

Hello Zyon.
Aileen is a very interesting type of serial killer. I find myself
very invested in learning a lot about serial killers. I want to
know all about their past and try
to understand how a person can go through a rough time and
just snap. I have watched many of documentaries on a lot of the
murderers that are on
this list that we had to choose from. It was actually hard for me
to choose a person that I did not know much about which is why
I chose Susan Smith. I

feel that you diagnosed her perfectly. Her childhood was
horrible and it did not get much better as she grew from an
adolescence into her adult life. My
big question is despite the constant abuse what triggers a person
to believe that what they are doing, (committing murder), is
justifiable? With
schizophrenia and delusions it would be safe to say that her
psychoses state took over and she had flashbacks on the pain
she went through as a child
and being an unstable adult she reacted with instant violent
gratification to "numb" the mental pain she was going through
at that moment.
Unfortunately for the male victims this resulted in their death.

Hello Zyon,
I must say that schizophrenia is one of the more severe
disorders when it comes to the mental health of a person. I can
only imagine the dangers that
accompany this disorder when the individual does not receive
the proper treatment for it. After reading your entry, it
definitely sounds like your client
had some aggravating factors associated with her disorder. Her
last words were also a testament to the severity of her mental
disorder. Normally,
there is some type of plain language used to deliver a final

message to friends and family, but not in her case. I am curious
to know more about her
and her trial.

Nice job: Aileen is very interesting as her childhood led to a
lot of her adulthood behaviors. Sometimes, I wonder if her
attorney shouldn't have argued
her childhood more and how her early life led to who she
became. I have a feeling if he would have, she may have been
spared the death penalty, but
still received life. One thing that I want you to keep in mind as
you are working on this paper, is did PTSD have anything to do
with her killing decisions
- focus on the first man she killed and his criminal history.
This is another area I believe her attorney failed. If you get a
chance, go on YouTube and
watch her last interview - it is very interesting. Good job.

Hello Classmates and Professor.
Tell us which client you chose and why. That is, what was it
For this dicussion I chose Susan Smith. I picked her because I
could not imagine how a women could murder her children in
order to keep a
relationship with a man.
Based upon your preliminary research on this case/client and
your client
be suffering from that may have contributed to the crime?
Susan Smith suffered from antisocial personality disorder.
According to DeLisi, M., Schwartz, S., & Klein, E. (2019 Ch.
2.4), " antisocial
d=personality disorder is the most common mental illness
diagnosis of people who commit crimes." Since Susan used
manipulation to make up a
story for the police and had a lack of empathy towards her
children's murder she committed she showed traits of antisocial
personality disorder and
psychopathy or sociopath.
Describe the disorder including its signs and symptoms.
Connect those that you believe apply to your client’s behavior.
Susan did have a very rough childhood. She was molested by
her step dad. Her real father committed suicide after her mom
and dad got a divorce.
She was in and out of violent relationships. When she got with a
wealthy man who really treated her good but did not want kids,
something snapped
in her and she decided to drown her children and tell the police

that an African American man carjacked her car with the kids in
there. This is
manipulation. The lack of empathy comes in when she really
didn't care that her children were dead. She just wanted them
out of the way in order to
be a man who didn't want kids. There was no remorse and Susan
told police 9 days later that she was in fact the one who pushed
the car into the
water with her children strapped into it.
What does your textbook say about the likelihood that your
The textbook states that individuals who exhibit these traits are
referred to as psychopaths, or sociopaths who use manipulation
to get what they
want, they have a lack of empathy for feelings of others, they
have shallow emotional responses, extraordinary high levels of
self esteem, and
pathologically lye with superficial charm. (DeLisi, Schwartz, &
Klein, 2019). The traits that Susan showed was able to convict
her to a 30 Year
sentence for the crime of murder. (Susan Smith Biography,
2019).

Hi Coletta,
Susan Smith’s case is disturbing to me for two reasons. One
reason is that I’m a parent of two children and couldn’t imagine
anyone
performing such a terrible crime. Another reason is that I’m an
African American, and it’s sad when someone attempts to
benefit from profiling a race
that supports negative perspectives. I agree with your
assessment that she has an anti-social personality disorder as
she reveals apparent negligence
for the rights of others. To be diagnosed with APD, an
individual must possess specific criteria presented by the DSM-
5 (DeLisi, Schwartz, & Klein,
2019). Three conditions that I believe fit Susan’s personality
are extreme impulsiveness, reckless disregard, and lack of
empathy. To assist with your
client’s history and the crime, you could investigate the link
between psychopathy and criminal behavior. Psychopathic traits
contribute to
more violence than individuals who do not possess these
attributes (Swogger et al., 2012).

Nice job: Susan Smith is very interesting. It is amazing that a
mom can do this to her own children and then make it seem that
someone else did the
crime. Look at what would possibly cause her to try and blame
someone else. Also, do a comparison with Diane Downs; she
shot her children trying
to kill them because of a man. Look at how they are similar and
different; look at how their attorney's presented their cases -
what worked in both
cases that would make the outcome for Susan better in the end.

You have already dug into her childhood - look at the
possibility if her childhood would
have been different would that have changed the outcome for
Susan? Just some ideas. Good job.

Week 1 discussion
I chose Aileen Wuornos because was a woman serial killer and I
was interested to find out what would make her do such horrific
things. It’s not very
often you hear about a woman serial killer due to the fact the
women are known for being nurtures and givers of life and not
takers of life. I was
curious to know who or what could have inflicted such pain and
hurt upon her that she would want to project that on to others.
After doing some research on the connection between metal
disorders and crime, I have concluded that Aileen seem to have
suffered from
Antisocial Personality Disorder, PTSD and Major depressive
disorder. Due to Aileen having such a traumatic childhood of
being raped and abused
at an early age. She left home at 15 years of age and started
living on the streets. Aileen became a prostitute because with

little education she
might have adapted the mindset of doing what she must in order
to survive. I truly think that Aileen wanted a better life for
herself but she started
out so young on the wrong foot in life that it become normal to
her to live the way she was living. It appears that she was
attacked while prostituting
and that event caused her to started robing and killing in order
for her to survive. It seems like this was her justification for the
reasons why she did
what she did and continued to do so.
Antisocial Personality disorder is said to be the most common
mental illness diagnosis of individuals who commit crimes. This
would be fitting
considering how frantic her early childhood life experience
were. This diagnosis is a pervasive pattern of blatant disregard
for the rights of others
that becomes evident in adolescence and continues throughout
the adult life span. PTSD PTSD may occur as a trauma response
to a significantly
traumatizing event, Aileen’s father committed suicide in jail
when she was only 2 years old and she was constantly being
sexually abused at home.
So this can trigger PTSD. Major depressive disorder can
develop from a pro long period of time of going through trauma
and great financial strain
and self esteem issues in life. Sign of depression can verify
from low self confidence, to over sleeping to promiscuous
behavior such as
prostitution.
There is a strong possibility that her mental illness did
contribute to the crimes that she committed. Her financial
situation caused great major
depression and that lead her to make irrational decisions along

with struggling with PTSD from being raped and abused by
different men. This
could have been linked to her being withdrawn from society and
developed trust issues. It’s one judge domino effect on her life
leading to a stream
of decisions that caused a downward spiral in her life.
I would say that insanity would be a potential issue due to the
fact that she plead guilty to all of the charges and she believed
that some of them
deserved what they got. She didn’t show remorse for some of
them because she said it was in self defense in some instances
and in others she was
just robing them to get money to sustain herself. She knew what
she was doing so the insanity plea would not go well for her.

Hello Leasha,

I think I share your interest when it comes to women serial
killers as most women are expected to be more kind and caring.
Especially as it pertains to
gender related attributes and characteristics. However, as we
can see, even the most kind hearted individual can turn into a
cold blooded killer if
placed in the right environment. With her history of rape and
abuse, it is no surprise that she survived by somewhat numbing
her senses a bit. It
seems as though this "numbing" method went a little deeper
than just the physical plane, but also to the mental plane,
resulting in her committing some
of the crimes she did. Maybe her insanity came as a by-product
of distancing herself from the outside world and she forgot the
basic rights and wrongs
and also forgot how to practice the golden rule of treating
people how you would like to be treated. She did have a lot of
factors and the lack of
remorse shows just how far gone she was towards the end.

Nice job: Aileen is very interesting. One thing that I will
encourage you to do is to watch her last interview video on
YouTube. This will give you some

more information on her that comes from her own mouth. Also,
there is a current documentary out on her (I wish I could
remember the name of it) that
deals with letters to her childhood friend - this may help you
also. Also, think about if her childhood would have been
different would her adult
behaviors been different? This is not as easy of an answer as it
seems. Also, look at the idea of PTSD - with this I am
encouraging you to look at the
first man she killed, the reason she stated she killed him, and
then look at his criminal record. Could she have had a
legitimate defense here? You did
a good job on this and I hope these suggestions help.

I read numerous bios on the list of individuals prior to picki ng
one as my client for the remainder of this course and I have
decided to settle on
Timothy McVeigh. I picked this individual due to his
experience in the military and wanted to examine the impact
that wartime combat had on his
mental psyche.
Based upon your preliminary research on this case/client and
your client be suffering

from that may have contributed to the crime?
I believe Timothy McVeigh had an Antisocial Personality
Disorder (APD). According to DeLisi,M., Schwartz, S., &
Klein, E. (2019) “is hallmarked by a
pervasive pattern of blatant disregard for the fights of others
that becomes evident in adolescence and continues throughout
the adult life span”. I
believe this to be true due to Timothy McVeigh’s lack of
remorse for the deaths resulting from his bombing in Oklahoma
City. There was a daycare
on the second floor of the building he bombed and when
informed of the children he killed, he simply shrugged it off and
labeled their deaths as
collateral damage.
I believe Timothy McVeigh also had post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD). According to DeLisi,M., Schwartz, S., &
Klein, E. (2019) PTSD may
occur as a trauma response to a significantly traumatizing event
that an individual experiences or witnesses directly, such as
sexual violence, actual
death of another or threatened death of another or self, or
serious injury of another or self. I would attribute this to his
combat action in the Persian
Gulf War in 1991. I believe to be true due to Timothy McVeigh
being described as funny and happy prior to joining the United
States Army, but he
was described as bitter and resentful after he was discharged.
What does your textbook say about the likelihood that your
According to DeLisi,M., Schwartz, S., & Klein, E. (2019), post-
traumatic stress disorder is significantly less likely to be a
mental illness associated
with criminal behavior.
Discuss whether psychopathy, insanity, or competence to stand
trial are potential issues in your client’s case based upon your
preliminary research

of the case and your assigned textbook readings
I believe psychopath would be an issue in my client’s case. I
believe that due to his upbringing and some of his life
experiences, he lost a certain
connection needed to display rational thought and behavior. I
believe this was amplified by some of his readings and
affiliations as well.

Hi Bryan,
When I read timothy’s case, I began to wonder about various
aspects of his childhood. I was curious if he had a relationship
with his mother after
his parents divorced. I was also interested in his admiration for
guns and if this obsession stemmed from a potential lack of
security that he developed
from being bullied when he was a teenager. I agree with your
assessment of timothy, stating that he has an anti-social
personality disorder and
PTSD. While I was shocked by his response when he was told
that there were children in the building that he bombed,
McVeigh does state how the
army taught him how to dismiss his emotions when necessary

(Blanco, n.d.). Another source that may help identify a link
between your client’s history
and the crime is impulse control (Kosson, Smith & Newman,
1990). Timothy revealed several impulsive actions, such as
bringing guns to school,
dropping out of business school, dropping out of the special
forces, and his brief use of methamphetamine with an old friend
from the army (Blanco,
n.d.).

Nice job! You picked a good one! Timothy is very interesting.

When you are researching him, be sure to really look at his
childhood and what
could/did happen that could have led to his choices in
adulthood. I don't want you to think that I am dismissing his
time in the military and what he saw
while serving overseas, but a lot of times there is something in
the childhood that becomes in-bedded in our unconscious mind
that come out due to
things that happen later in life. Also, look at why he wanted
death - why did he not fight the death penalty, like most do.
There is something in his mind
that tells him that is better off dead than alive - this also goes
into the idea of why did he bomb the Federal Building - was he
wanting to die then?
Hope these ideas help you and make sense! Good job.

I chose Aileen Wuornos, the reason why is twofold. The first is
that she was born into a horrible situation, abuse like she grew
up with stays with a
person. The second is that reading through the information
given it feels like there are some missing pieces that were
overlooked.
Wournos was diagnosed with both boarderline personality
disorder and antisocial personality disorder, she also had a
father that was believed to be

schizophrenic, which can be genetically passed down (Blanco,
n.d.). She shows signs of emotional instability and has a past of
“maladaptive and
harmful behaviors" (Shalchi, May 30, 2019) which are clear
symptoms of her boarderline personality disorder. Her behavior
also shows a distinct
“disregard for the rights of others" (DeLisi, Schwartz, & Klein,
2019), which is a symptom of antisocial personality disorder.
Both if these disorders
can be seen when looking at her previous arrests which involve
disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, multiple counts of assault,
and obstruction of
justice, as well as the rest of her criminal record (Blanco, n.d.).
Schizophrenic behavior is also shown in her inability to tell the
difference between
delusions and reality, which would also help explain why her
story keeps changing between murder and self-defense. I would
also like to note that
while she does not necessarily show all of the classic signs of
PTSD, it would be wise to look into how her childhood trauma
has affected her. Her
childhood trauma includes being abandoned at a young age by
her mother, sexual assault from multiple sources, and being
beaten by her
grandfather (Blanco, n.d.).
Schizophrenia and antisocial personality disorder are both
within the “most commonly diagnosed mental disorders in
criminal offenders" (DeLisi,
Schwartz, & Klein, 2019), PTSD is also to a much lesser extent,
which are all disorders that Wuornos has or shows signs of
potentially having.
There is a chance of Wuornos not being able to stand trial due
to competency issues. One of the main clues to this is that she
can not keep her
story straight due to her inability to tell her delusions from
reality. If it was her just lying then the story would stay mostly

confined to the exact same,
the truth on the other hand will start to expand as she has more
time to process the information. With her though it keeps
switching from murder to
self defense, and she shows to believe both as being the truth.

Nice job!! There are a lot of missing pieces - I firmly believe
her attorney missed a lot of things that could have spared her
life. Starting with her
childhood - look at the idea of what in her childhood led to her
adult behaviors. My best advice is watch her last interview
video (you can find on

YouTube), this will give you a lot of insight into her mindset;
also there is a new documentary out (I cannot remember the
name) that discusses letters
to a childhood friend - this adds a new twist on to who Aileen
was in her childhood - but keep in mind is this just a person
who really loves and cares for
Aileen not seeing the true Aileen. Also, look at the idea of
PTSD (I know you discussed this) in relation to the first man
she killed - look at his criminal
history. With Aileen there is a lot to think about - the final
question really is: Did we put to death a woman who was
severely mentally ill? Also, think
about what the US Constitution states about putting a mentally
ill person to death. Good job!
Hope these thought processes help you!
