POST-1( Emily Terranova )
I decided to ask my parents what they believe leads an individual to kill another individual. After reading my mom and dad’s responses I was able to align their reasonings with theories from Brookman’s readings. Here are my parents’ responses and how I believe they connect to Brookman’s theories:Melissa (my mother, age 46) said: “Marital affairs can also lead people to become killers. A partner is having a side relationship and the new person isn’t aware of the current relationship their new love has. The person who is in a long-term relationship, maybe with children, will kill off their family so they can move on without the “old” family feeling hurt and abandoned. It also stops the worry of divorce costs, custody battles and baggage in the new relationship. These people also lose sight of reality and live in a delusional mindset.”This response highlights theories regarding emotional and psychological factors. In Brookman’s piece, Psychological Explanations of Homicide, she mentions how emotional deprivation may lead an individual to kill. Emotional deprivation and inadequate nurturing or care can lead to frustration. This frustration can blind an individual, as they begin to lose sight of reality and see only one, tragic and unfortunate way out of a situation. As Melissa mentioned in her answer, if one person in a relationship is being cheated on, neglected, and deprived of attention altogether they may become so full of anger and clouded by frustration that they turn to violence. Melissa also mentions a “delusional mindset” in her response which reflects Brookman’s exploration of mental illness and its relation to violent behaviors. Those experiencing mental illnesses or emotional crises may lose touch with reality and turn to violence (Brookman, 2005). Regarding her age, my mom’s response may have to do with her understanding of the consequences that come with marital issues. Although she has not faced these issues personally, being a middle-aged woman has likely exposed my mom to situations involving other couples and their difficulties with marital relationships. Joe (my dad, age 49) said:“Protecting your loved ones from a threat may lead to homicide.”While Joe’s response is far shorter, it brings up issues relating to defensive behaviours and how individuals kill to protect themselves and others. Individuals who perceive threats may resort to extreme measures to protect their loved ones (Brookman, 2005). To use my dad’s response as an example, a father who believes his family is in danger may commit a crime to protect his loved ones. The perceived threat that the father sees and is experiencing clouds his better judgment, inducing paranoia and fear, resulting in a homicide. Additionally, one may experience internal turmoil as they perceive a threat to their family. In these situations, a response to protect and even kill may not be premeditated but a desperate action taken to protect their loved ones (Brookman, 2005). Joe’s response to the discussion question makes sense as he is a father himself and has strong protective instincts towards his family.

After asking a friend and family member how they would explain what leads an individual to kill another individual, the first response I received was that homicide occurs from personal choices and moral failings. He believes that individuals who commit homicide are typically driven by personal conflicts or a lack of self-control, often tied to substance abuse or revenge. He primarily excludes external factors and focuses on an individual’s choice. This view aligns with Gottfredson and Hirschi’s theory. They believed that those with low self-control are more vulnerable to the temptations of crime (Brookman, 2021). According to their theory, criminals are impulsive, risk-takers, have low cognitive and academic skills, are self-centred, have low empathy, and have short time horizons. Wilson and Herrnstein’s view on an individual’s criminal tendencies can also relate to this view, as they argue whether a person commits a crime depends upon whether the perceived benefits outweigh the potential costs (Brookman, 2021). This opinion on homicide came from my grandfather. As an older male from a rural background, his view reflects a more conservative, justice-focused approach. With his father having been a soldier, he grew up with an idea of the aspects of the criminal justice system, strengthening his belief in personal accountability. His rural location may also shape his view, as he sees fewer incidents of organized crime or gang violence but more substance abuse-related violence, particularly with alcohol. The second response I received was from my friend majoring in sociology. She believes individuals who commit homicide come from environments where violence is normalized. She believes that growing up in a community marked by crime, poverty, and a lack of resources leads individuals to learn violent behaviours from those around them. This type of violence can stem from a lack of positive role models, as well as the absence of adequate social interventions to try and break the cycle of violence. Her view strongly aligns with social learning theory, which suggests that behaviour is learned through direct experience or observation. In communities where violence is common, individuals are more likely to model their actions from what they have seen or experienced because it is repeatedly reinforced in their environment. Willie’s classification scheme of murderers, where he developed the “psychopathic” personality, can also relate to this view on homicide. This type of individual fails to learn from their experiences due to a damaged ego structure (Brookman, 2021). As such, they would be failing to learn from the violent experiences they have had in their environments. As a sociology major, she is familiar with social criminological theories that emphasize how behaviours are learned. Her urban upbringing provides firsthand exposure to the challenges faced by communities where violence is constant. Being young and female and studying in a field that highlights societal inequalities, she gravitates toward theories that emphasize prevention and intervention rather than solely focusing on criminal punishment.Brookman, F.
