Criminal Minds in Mental Health
Why do people go to jail? What caused them to behave this way?
What makes them different from everyone else? We can continue
asking questions about criminal's mental health status, but we
are never going to find an answer that suits us, simply because
there are too many illnesses and few solutions to repairing the
illnesses. In fact, some of the causes of criminal behaviors are
seated on the criminal justice's doorstep.
At the beginning of criminal justice came forth a bunch of
so-called law enforcement groups that claim to bring forth
justice. The twisted theories including flogging, beating,
hanging, dismembering, public humiliation, beheading, and the
list goes on and on. Therefore, we can see the root of criminals
start with the criminal justice system.
We all influenced by someone else and if our superior examples
are illustrating violence to others, what message are they
sending to the world? In fact, the first-known psychopath was
recorded in the early 1800s. This person followed the example of
the justice system by behaving in manners inappropriately.
Howard owned his own drug store and worked around people each
day, saving lives while taking other lives and destroying them.
This is similar to the justice system strategy, since the law
saves lives and takes lives. We can also take a look at the
various serial killers in our history and see that these people
flogged, hung, beat, mutilated, public humiliated his victims,
beheaded, dismembered and so forth. While each killer was
different from the other, in most cases each had their own
strategy to kill and torture another human.
The sad part is the law in these time-tortured individuals that
committed less than a felony. What a real bad example to follow,
and today the law is still in some areas behaving in this
manner. Rapists came in to play when the White Supremacist were
allowed to rape the black race and get away with it. Although
there was rape, cases before this era the White supremacist
provoked sick behaviors in others as they followed closely
behind the footsteps.
We can ask why do people kill, and rarely find an answer since
we must look at a mountain of history information to find out
what the links truly are. We know that people suffer mental
illnesses and some are dangerous while others are not. We can
also look at the criminal justice system and see that the system
is a failure in many areas, and there are people in prison that
are innocent or should not be there at all.
We can look at all the examples in our history and see that
these people are responsible for some of the behaviors and
crimes that go on in the world today. We can also look at the
many minds that are locked up in the system to determine why
they do what they do. We can also look at society and see how it
operates and what part of responsibility they have in the many
crimes and criminals actions.
For example, what part do you think racism plays in mental
health and crime? Well, I am studying criminal justice today and
I can tell you it plays a bigger role than most people believe.
What part do the media play in mental health and crime? It too
plays a large role. Poverty is another major problem that links
crime and mental health or illnesses together.
When a person has no out, they often resort to crime, sometimes
starting small and sadly most times leading to bigger crimes.
However, we also have the white collar and blue-collar
criminals. These people are not as special as they believe,
since many criminals worked important jobs, maintained a family,
and socialized in society.
In fact, many of the serial killers did not come from deprived
homes as claimed by the law. In fact, few came from law biding
homes, and most times the person suffering is suffering because
he is a child born from a hereditary nation of chaos. We can ask
all types of questions but in one article we could never sum of
the true colors, since the law, society, political, religions,
history, mental illnesses and so on play a part in crime.
