These pages will provide an overview of contemporary human behavior and behavioral experience. Because of my background in psychology and law enforcement my natural interest trends toward abnormal behavior. I have worked with pediatric firesetting and conducted case study research into the contributing factors of childhood fire play. I have also studied domestic violence and domestic violence homicide and with a group of colleagues published the Psychological Autopsy of the June 11, 2010 Dexter, Maine Domestic Violence Homicide (Allanach, et. al., 2011). I am interested in the notion of mass shooting and the precursory red flags that may signal the imminent terminal rage associated with these events. I am particularly concerned that each time something so dramatic occurs like the Navy Yard shooting in early September, 2013 and the Newtown, CT school massacre – there is a collective wonderment about “what could have triggered” such a heinous event? Followed by months and months of interviewing known friends and members of family trying to uncover motives. In the end, there is a subset of human beings who behave as they alone choose to behave, without regard for the feelings of others and without regard for the harm they do and the chaos they leave behind. The mass shooter rarely survives the terminal event that leaves most of us in shock and awe. Whether in the back alleys or Main Street these people lead predatory lives and capital punishment was meant for them alone.
Human behavior remains a complex and sometimes mystifying circumstance. Some behavior appears arbitrary, bizarre, and unpredictable. Other behaviors like school bullying are calculated and fiercely demeaning. Yet with precise understanding of the driving impact of environment, biological underpinnings, and immediate antecedents – the study of human behavior may be embraced and perhaps predicted with greater acumen.

I want to express some appreciation to this writer just for bailing me out of this type of difficulty. As a result of exploring through the the net and obtaining opinions that were not pleasant, I was thinking my entire life was gone. Existing without the presence of approaches to the difficulties you have resolved as a result of your entire posting is a serious case, and the ones that could have badly affected my career if I hadn’t noticed your website. The skills and kindness in playing with almost everything was tremendous. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come upon such a subject like this. I’m able to at this moment relish my future. Thanks very much for the specialized and sensible guide. I will not be reluctant to endorse your web page to any individual who should receive counselling on this issue.
