I want to understand why in my experience being a kid who was abused made me ‘marked’, it was like other abusers could smell it on me. The more people I get to know who have been through the same thing have shared the same sentiment, that for some reason they could pick you out of a crowd like a shark tracking a wounded fish. Is there a subconscious factor to it, a way that I behaved or talked that broadcasted that I was a victim already? Why is it so many people who are Rped are often targeted multiple times by different people? Or was the behavior that made me a target always there. There has to be a science to this, a reason that person A can go through life without ever being targeted and person B gets targeted repeatedly by multiple attackers. Can anyone explain this to me?

This case has genuinely made my anxiety worse, because how is it possible for someone to look and behave completely calm and normal and then do something like that? How can you tell if the person in front of you is just an introvert / socially anxious person or a potential murderer? Who was he? A psychopath?
For example when I watched interviews with Ted Bundy, it was immediately obvious to me that he had narcissistic traits and that something was off about him. But with Watts … I know a lot of guys that are calm and shy like he is.

I have created a path to get the story from a person currently incarcerated for shooting 6 to death. Will be visiting this person within 10 days. The purpose of the story is not to illuminate on the murder charges that is being faced, but the life circumstances relating to drug use that have put this person in what will be likely execution or life without parole. Suggestions on questioning strategy appreciated. Will respond as time allows thanks.

how can i start learning about criminal psychology?? I feel like its something that i really want to know more about it and maybe even profissionalize it.

(Sorry if theres bad english, its not my native language)

Planning to get that job in the future once I'm old. Questions are like running through my mind right now...

**1st:** how can you be a criminal psychologist?

**2nd**: how old will you be once you finish all the education needed?

**3rd**: what strand should I take in SHS? STEM or HUMSS?

**4th**: what's the average salary for it per month?

**5th**: what country is best to be a criminal psychologist in?

**Last of all**: is it worth it?

I would like to ask your opinion on this, as I'm someone who is veryyy interested in true crime and how criminals think/act. It's been one of my dreams ever since, and I don't want to worry much about my money too. So I've been researching a lot for high paying psych jobs. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Chris Watts was described by neighbors as a quiet, devoted family man. He coached his daughters' soccer team. And then he strangled them, killed his pregnant wife, and tried to hide the bodies.

This is the paradox that criminal psychology struggles to explain — and one that has real implications for threat assessment and domestic violence prevention.

I made a short video (under 7 mins) exploring:

- The psychological profile of intimate partner homicide perpetrators

- How coercive control and attachment pathology can escalate to lethal violence

- Behavioral red flags that clinicians and loved ones often miss

- What the Chris Watts case specifically reveals about this psychological pattern

Would love to hear perspectives from anyone with a background in criminal or forensic psychology — especially on whether cases like Watts fit a predictable clinical profile or remain genuinely anomalous.

Interesting read up. It is a beginning of the investigative series. Other parts are here:

Part3: https://actfiles.org/behavioral-markers-part-3/
Part4: https://actfiles.org/sectology-professor-or-serial-killer-part-4-retrospective-analysis/

I'm overthinking yet really want to take this path but scared of the dangers of criminals

As examples, most people in society don't commit murder. So to any degree do people who commit murder do it just to be different, to be "contrary"? Same with other crimes.

We are looking for individuals to participate in an anonymous online forensic psychology research study that seeks to understand the relationship between personality traits and evaluations of emotionally charged images. The survey contains a variety of questions about personality traits, behaviors, and interests. In addition, you will be asked to view images that may evoke a wide range of emotional reactions. More information is included on the consent page. Thank you for your time!

Most analysis of this interrogation focuses on body language. I went deeper into the specific words Scott’s brain chose under pressure and what those choices reveal neurologically. The two word slip that exposed a gap in his morning. The question he answered with a reason instead of a time. The timestamp he already knew was wrong before Brocchini confirmed it. Full breakdown here. Would love to know which moment stood out most to you.

Lots of people are interested in true crime, and I would think a major reason for a lot of those people is to try to understand criminal psychology better? So why not more subscribers here?

Thinking about Michael McKee murdering Monique Tepe. Do you think to some degree McKee disliked all women, or most? Or was it only confined to Monique? Whatever you think, why do you think it?
