Characteristics Of Exploder Offender

In the first offender typology, I define Sam’s style of violence as tyrannical oppose to explosive. I contend that the main difference between tyrannical and explosive offender, is that one is this perpetrator who often initializes violence and is subjugating the victim in a somewhat rational manner, while the other, is more emotional and is mainly reacting to the victim in a violent way. The textbook characteristics of Tyrannical Offender include: conscious of their doing and has intentions to control the partner, perceives violence as a rational response to certain things, depreciates their own use of violence, and describes their partner as submissive.

It’s established that a high-risk offender, is an individual who attacks their partner as many as sixty times per year, rather than a really low number, such as five.

Antisocial offenders are the extreme of the types of violent men, they are usually severely abused as a child, are aggressive, highly deficient in their communication/social skills, have anti-social behavior, view violence as normal behavior, uphold the gender roles more severely than any other offender. Considering the characteristics associated with the types of violent men, I would have regard Sam as a Borderline offender. From what Beth’s story, there isn’t much on whether Sam was abused as a child or if it was severed, however, many of the features of a Borderline offender fit Sam well. While, the traits among the types of violent men are usually similar the intensity varies; among other
