Second Place : By K.M. LEW
Every year, there will always be a column for rape cases in the newspapers. Victims will always have a hard time baring with the consequences. But, what is it in a rapist mind?
Anger in a rapist can drove him to commit crime. A mind full with anger can actually make a person to think more pessimistic towards things around him. And he might just displace his aggression on someone else instead of the frustrator itself. It is sad to see that when they put all their frustration on an innocent victim who know nothing about it.
Furthermore, it is about power and control. Someone might feels that there is little control in other areas of his life and thus, there is a need for him to seek for the power to control over something. Rape, can actually gives him the power to control over the victim. For example, the rapist has the right and control whether to let the girl go or do anything he wanted towards the victim. The sense that, he decide what to do and when to do. No one is there to control and judge him for his acts. And this can actually reduce the stress and depression had in the rapist.
In addition, the rapist is a sadist, which they enjoy and gain pleasure by inflicting pain or watching pain inflicted on others. They enjoy seeing the pain in the victim; and love to see them begging for help. The rapist will never care about what and how the victim feels. They are like, dehumanizing them.
Besides, what makes them to commit the rape might also due to the past experiences or hostile childhood experience. For example, the rapist might have a bad childhood experience such as been abused when he was young, or being sexually harassed can also lead to hostile attitude when he grow up.
Last but not least, the hatred towards women. Hostile childhood and past experiences can also lead to the hatred towards women. Sometimes, man rape not because the need for sexual pleasure but just the prejudice he had on women. When a man had this kind of hatred towards women, and thus, they might actually have a certain attitudes and behavior towards women. It is not surprise that they can displace their aggression on those women whom they hated.
You can never know what goes inside the mind of a rapist and when a rapist would commit the crime.
