  • crime scene analysis and the escalation of violence in Serial Rape
    Forensic Science International, 1999
    Co-Authors: Janet I Warren, Roland Reboussin, Robert R Hazelwood, Natalie A Gibbs, Susan Trumbetta, Andrea Cummings
    Abstract:

    The current study examines the crime scene behavior manifest by 108 Serial rapists responsible for the perpetration of 565 Rapes across various cities within the US. The goal of the current study is to identify which aspects of crime scene behavior reported to law enforcement by the victim are most useful in predicting, early in a series of offenses, which rapists are most likely to escalate into higher and, at times, life threatening levels of violence. Using 58 scales that quantify the verbal, physical, and sexual behavior manifest by a rapist in his interaction with his victim during his first reported Rape and 36 modal variables that summarized approach, timing, demographics, and weapon usage across the series of Rapes, the study attempts to differentiate between those rapists who escalate in their use of blunt force (Increasers) from those who do not (Non-Increasers). A logistic regression indicates that rapists who are white rather than of minority status and who, at the time of their first reported Rape, Rape their victims for longer periods of time and use more profanity are more likely to escalate in their level of blunt force than those rapists who do not exhibit these behaviors. The relevance of this type of predictive framework for law enforcement in its attempts to prioritize particular investigations is discussed.

  • crime scene and distance correlates of Serial Rape
    Journal of Quantitative Criminology, 1998
    Co-Authors: Janet I Warren, Roland Reboussin, Robert R Hazelwood, Andrea Cummings, Natalie A Gibbs, Susan Trumbetta
    Abstract:

    This study, derived from a sample of 108 Serial rapists (Rapes=565), examines the relationship between demographic, crime scene, and criminal history variables and the distance traveled by Serial rapists in order to offend. The pattern of offenses perpetrated by each of the 108 Serial offenders as it relates to his place of residence is also analyzed in terms of known characteristics of the offender and his offenses. The theoretical focus of the study integrates premises derived from criminal investigative analysis, environmental criminology, ethnographic geography, journey to crime research, and criminal geographic targeting to explore the cognitive symmetry between the “how” and the “where” of Serial sexual offenses. These components or dimensions of Serial crime are explored in an attempt to aid law enforcement in their investigation of hard-to-solve Serial crimes.
