Mass murder is the act of murdering many people in the same place, typically simultaneously and it does not require a perverse behaviour. The actors of these crimes are characterized by negligence of being captured, by the fact that they act in a public place and often their motivation comes from revenge. Although there are differences between mass murder committed in the USA and the ones committed in Italy, this article tries to show the common factors that can be found between them. Through the analysis of three different cases we try to understand how particular psychological traits, frustrations, firearms availability and social isolation play a role, in order to increase prevention of these massacres and the identification of specific treatment programs.
I mass murder sono definiti come orge omicidiarie compiute in uno stesso luogo, che si risolvono in tempi al massimo di ore e sono immuni da comportamenti perversi. Gli autori di tali delitti sono caratterizzati dall’incuria circa la propria cattura, dal fatto che commettono i crimini in luoghi pubblici e che spesso la loro motivazione nasce dalla vendetta. Nonostante esistano differenze tra i mass murder compiuti negli USA rispetto a quelli compiuti in Italia, questo articolo prova a mostrare i fattori comuni che si possono riscontrare. Attraverso l’analisi di tre casi si cerca di comprendere come entrano in gioco tratti psicologici particolari, frustrazioni, disponibilità delle armi da fuoco e isolamento sociale, al fine di incrementare la prevenzione di queste stragi e l’identificazione di programmi di trattamento specifici.

Abstract
Mass murder is the act of murdering many people in the same place, typically simultaneously and it does not require a perverse behaviour. The actors of these crimes are characterized by negligence of being captured, by the fact that they act in a public place and often their motivation comes from revenge. Although there are differences between mass murder committed in the USA and the ones committed in Italy, this article tries to show the common factors that can be found between them. Through the analysis of three different cases we try to understand how particular psychological traits, frustrations, firearms availability and social isolation play a role, in order to increase prevention of these massacres and the identification of specific treatment programs.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
