Abstract
This paper is going to define the difference between a sadistic rapist and a regular rape. This research will also identify sadistic behaviors and the background of sadistic rapist.
Sadistic Rapist: Into the Minds of Rapists
Introduction
According to Abel (1989), sadistic rapists have a tendency to be sexually aroused by fantasies and urges of forcing themselves sexually on their victims. Sexual sadists are turned on by unnecessary brutality, but the skilled rapist will use more power than necessary in order for the victim to obey what is being asked of them. With a sadistic rapist, rape is taken to a whole new level. It is already horrific for a person to be raped, but to have to deal with extra pain, humiliation, and torture is just unreal. This paper will go into the minds of sadistic rapists to try and understand where all of this anger and aggression comes from anyway, and why they feel the need to harm others. Some criminals use their upbringing as an excuse to their mayhem. No matter how criminals were raised growing up, it doesn’t give them the right to destroy someone else’s life. The whole point is everyone knows right from wrong.

For example, if a person is just raped and not murdered, this would not be seen as a lustmurder. Either way this crime is looked at, it still is a horrible and humiliating act for the victim. “Rape is a huge social dilemma that is very overwhelming to victims,
