Bibliography
[edit]Annotated Bibliography Alexander, F., & Healy, W. (1969). Roots of crime; psychoanalytic studies. Patterson Smith. This book is an etiological study of delinquency and crime. It focuses on offenders considered ‘failures’ by police, court procedures, and correctional institutions. This study chose to exclude mentally defective offenders. It felt necessary to include this book, considering that I was also looking at the book review for The Roots of Crime.
Knight, Z. G. (2007). Sexually motivated serial killers and the psychology of aggression and “evil” within a contemporary psychoanalytic perspective. The Journal of Sexual Aggression, 13(1), 21–35. https://doi.org/10.1080/13552600701365597 This paper looks at the motivation behind sexually motivated serial killers from a psychoanalytical perspective. Looking specifically at the concepts of evil and aggression and how they are linked. The central claim in this paper is that evil can be better understood as destructive aggression. I chose this paper because I believe that the Wikipedia article lacked real-world examples of this psychoanalytical perspective of criminology that looked at a specific crime, like sexually motivated serial killers. Throughout this paper, the author suggests three things: that aggression is innate and reactive, therefore we all have the capacity for destructive aggression; a new definition for ‘evil’ based on the contemporary psychoanalytical perspective; and that evil can be viewed as a reaction to threat or sense of endearment.
Van Stokkom, B. (2002). Moral emotions in restorative justice conferences: Managing shame, designing empathy. Theoretical Criminology, 6(3), 339-360. https://doi.org/10.1177/136248060200600306 At the end of the Wikipedia article, the author also suggests looking at other concepts deeply tied to psychoanalytic criminology. For example, they noted that they should look at victimology, restorative justice, and Gregory Zilboorg. As a result, I was highly interested in seeing how restorative justice fits into this idea of psychoanalytic criminology, so I chose this article. This article also ties nicely with the “Sexually Motivated Serial Killers and the Psychology of Aggression and “Evil” within a Contemporary Psychoanalytic Perspective” paper because this article focuses on utilizing restorative justice to redirect aggressive emotions, which in turn can lead to empathy. The Wikipedia article lacked much about how this psychoanalytical perspective can be used to treat or address the injustices caused by offenders, so it would be interesting to include restorative justice as a possible way to address this issue.

Now that you have compiled a bibliography, it's time to plan out how you'll improve your assigned article.
In this section, write up a concise outline of how the sources you've identified will add relevant information to your chosen article. Be sure to discuss what content gap your additions tackle and how these additions will improve the article's quality. Consider other changes you'll make to the article, including possible deletions of irrelevant, outdated, or incorrect information, restructuring of the article to improve its readability or any other change you plan on making. This is your chance to really think about how your proposed additions will improve your chosen article and to vet your sources even further. Note: This is not a draft. This is an outline/plan where you can think about how the sources you've identified will fill in a content gap. |
In this Wikipedia article, I would add a section on how the psychoanalytical perspective is used to see the motivation behind certain types of crimes. To be more specific, looking at the motivation behind the sexually motivated serial killers from this perspective. In the "Sexually Motivated Serial Killers and the Psychology of Aggression and 'Evil' within a Contemporary Psychoanalytical Perspective" paper, the author suggests a new definition of 'evil' as destructive aggression. This paper lacks real-world examples of using this perspective to analyze crimes, and this example could be an insightful addition.
Towards the end of this article, the author suggests looking at other concepts deeply tied to psychoanalytic criminology. For example, they noted victimology, restorative justice, and Gregory Zilboorg. Therefore, adding a section on restorative justice and its relation to psychoanalytic criminology could be interesting. The "Moral emotions in restorative justice conferences" paper talks about utilizing restorative justice to redirect aggressive emotions, which in turn can lead to empathy.
