Answer to Question 1

Answer: The power-reassurance rapist has the primary motivation of power over his victim. Accounting for an estimated 81 percent of rapes that are reported, the term power does not imply that he desires to harm his victim physically in any way; he does not. Indeed, his psychological disorder focuses on how he perceives his manhood or lack of it. The pre-offense behavior of the power-reassurance rapist includes fantasies about having a sexual affair with a member of the opposite sex. This class of rapist will usually select victims through prior observation or stalking. This type of rapist may actually apologize to the victim. The power-assertive rapist desires to demonstrate his manhood to the victim through sexual assault. Research has shown that this type of rapist seldom plans his attacks and is an opportunist by nature. His victims are, however, typically of the same race and age group as the assailant. Many such offenders have chosen the bar scene as their hunting ground and may typically choose a bar close to the place where they live or work. The power-assertive rapist will probably use the con approach with his victim, and after he gets her in a location where he can make his attack, he will use a moderate degree of force. After the assault, he will probably threaten his victim with retaliation if she reports him. The anger-retaliatory rapist profile is that of a person who vents his anger and frustration toward the opposite sex by punishing them. The punishment is based on either real or imagined wrongs that they have perpetrated against him (or the male population in general). Sexual assault is the means by which he chooses to humiliate them. Victim selection is usually somewhere near the attacker's residence, and she may possess physical characteristics similar to those of the female stressor in his life. The anger-excitation rapist has a strong propensity toward sadism and is prone to severely injure or even murder his victim. In addition, he enjoys the victim's response to the infliction of pain, usually resulting from torture. The planning stage of the attack is done meticulously by this type of rapist, who harbors images and fantasies about sadistic sexual acts with his victims. Typically, every stage of the attack is carefully thought through.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: In intimate or former intimate stalking, the stalker and victim may be married or divorced, current or former dating partners, serious or casual sexual partners, or former sexual partners. An estimated 70 to 80 percent of stalking cases fall into this category. In acquaintance stalking, the stalker and victim know each other casually. They may be neighbors or coworkers. They may have even dated once or twice but were not sexual partners. In stranger stalking, the stalker and victim do not know each other at all. This behavior is characterized by the stalker developing a love obsession or fixation of another person with whom he or she has no personal relationship. Cases involving public figures and celebrities fall into this category. The fourth type of stalking is cyberstalking and involves using the Internet to harass, intimidate, and terrorize the victim.
