Aggressive Behavioral Patterns

Paper Summary:

The paper looks at the study of Porter and Alison that focused on group rape and the hostility behaviors that are evident by the offenders. In this study, the investigation attempted to prove the hypothesis that in gang rape situations there is not a group aggressive behavioral pattern but that each individual will be affected differently during the course of the rape. Therefore, there is no one measurement of behavior, aggression or hostility that can define offenders in gang rape situations.

From the Paper:

"The authors found, however, that in gang rape situations, the findings indicate that there is a "uniform" behavioral pattern that emerges among the offenders. This pattern of behavior has a foundation in the behavioral patterns of the leader of the group that sets the emotional context of the offense, leading all other members of the group to follow this behavioral pattern."
