Torture, trampling, burning and mutilation of corpses and human monsters commit crimes that have gone beyond the norm, leaving Arab societies in a state of panic and anxiety about what it has become, as murder, rape, amputation and amputation have become words that we listen daily.
Horrible or “brutal” crimes, as the pioneers of social media call it, a phenomenon that has recently spread to most Arab countries, so what are the reasons and why do we hear about it so much?
From the Maadi girl in Egypt, who was hit by the wheels of a public transport “microbus” as it was being stolen, and the little girl Shaima, who was raped and had her body cut off in Algeria, to the boy Zarqa, whose hands they were cut off and his eyes were cut out in revenge for his father in Jordan and the mother who threw her children in the Tigris River and blamed her ex-husband.
Crime after crime adds to the record of violence, behind which there are people with a “psychopathic” personality, who do not feel guilty, according to the psychologist who knows the science of crime, Lana Qasqs, in an interview with Al-Hurra.
Psychopathy … crimes without guilt
“Psychopaths are one of the most difficult and complex characters, as it is difficult to understand and interpret, and it is among people who do not feel guilty for the brutality and violence they have committed, unlike other criminals, who can feel remorse after reviewing their principles, values and habits with which they were brought up, “he explained.
He stressed that “the most important causes that increase crime rates are unemployment, poverty, the spread of drugs and domestic violence”, as well as “exposure to violence from a young age, the spread of corruption and ‘indifference of governments towards social and political reforms “.
Mental health and violence scenes
And he stressed “the psychological causes, such as if a person has an aggressive tendency from childhood, and the lack of adequate mental health awareness, which results in people who are hateful towards society, who can commit the crimes. more serious “.
Qasas stressed that “the increase in scenes of violence in films and series, as well as the media coverage of the crimes of terrorist groups, especially ISIS and other organizations, which inevitably led to the strengthening of the hostility of the people who they hate society “.
And he considered that “the criminal who has not committed brutal or unusual crimes, there are many causes and influences mentioned above, and no single reason can make him violent in this way”.
The psychologist asked governments to raise awareness of dealing with this file, organizing awareness campaigns on the importance of mental health and not to ostracize people who show aggressive profiles.
Prisons are not correctional facilities
For his part, the president of the “Joint Effort” Association, Tami Qozhaya, which deals with drug victims and prisoners, confirmed in an interview with Al-Hurra that “prisons in Arab countries are not reforming and contain many human rights violations and torture demonstrations, which increases the criminal’s resentment and makes him more aggressive. “
“The prisoner acquires dark thoughts and criminal information due to the absence of reform programs and as if there is an exchange of experiences behind bars,” he said.
Regarding calls to trigger the implementation of the death penalty when any crime occurs, Qozhaya refused to impose “any life-consuming punishment under international law and adhering to Amnesty International’s position prohibiting the killing of a criminal in any way, “stating that” crime rates have not decreased in countries that allow laws. To death. “
The role of social media
While the journalist and researcher on the phenomenon of high crime rates in Jordan, Rana Al-Husseini, pointed out, in an interview with Al-Hurra, that “there is an increase in crime rates, but social media has a role in spreading and revealing what is happening in governorates and residential neighborhoods, which we did not know about “. Its subtleties. “
