DECRYPTION - Update with criminologist and profiler Sylvianne Spitzer ...

Cases involving missing joggers and are very similar. More or less, according to criminologist and profiler Sylvianne Spitzer , which states that "there is no real profile for the perpetrators involved." There are however very specific reasons that make joggers a target for predators.

"These young women are easily attainable," said Spitzer Sylvianne. Firstly because they are isolated. "They are alone, are in remote locations where there is little passage, usually early morning or late at night," says the criminologist. Physical isolation reinforced by sensory isolation.

A "flash love monstrous"

"Victims often have headphones on to listen to their music, which prevents them to hear their abusers approach," says the profiler. And they are holding "is happy about the body, making it possible to discern shapes and sexualized victim in the eyes of the aggressor," adds Sylvianne Spitzer. In addition, she said, the joggers, all in their efforts, do not feel in danger and are therefore not "alert".

The ideal prey for a potential aggressor. But the latter, it is obviously "in predation," does not meet a specific profile to believe the criminologist, which evokes aggression "by chance". The man is certainly present at the scene, but not necessarily actively looking. He has an urge to indulge, and feel a "love flash monstrous" by crossing the young woman said the criminologist.

Copycat

The assailant is a man who can not approach women in a normal manner, and may seek a relationship of domination and have sexual difficulties. Non-specific features, especially that "there may be a copycat . " The criminologist estimates that in informing the public, "the media also give information to potential criminals."

A woman in a position of vulnerability in a context facilitating the attack. A man in search of a passive target allowing it to satisfy a drive. The conditions of the crime are met. "We should have the right to do what you want where you want, when you want, Sylvianne Spitzer concluded. But because of some individuals, it is not possible. "
