From the Paper:

"A central aspect of the impulsive offender is control and power over the victim. Violence is also often excessive in order to facilitate the level of control that the offender desires. There is however little evidence of paraphilic behavior as this form of behavior is essentially fantasy free.
The article points out through close comparisons that there are marked differences between the impulsive and ritual offender. The most prominent difference is the extreme planning and preparation with regard to the fantasy dimension that characterizes the ritual offender."
