STEPHAN STERNS WRITTEN WITNESS STATEMENT TO POLICE/DISSECTING TRUTH FROM LIES _______________________________________________________________________    The following is, word for word, Stephan Sterns written  statement to the police on the day of Madeline's "disappearance." After the reading the statement, we will further analyze:  "Dropped off about a block or so from school sometime between 8:25-8:40 a.m. Turned around and headed back towards town. I watched my rearview mirror as she made her way in the direction of school. She was searching through her backpack for something, but still moving in the direction of the school. So, I carried on with my day. I stopped by nearby vape shop but it was closed so I  went home, and left an hour later or so to check the vape shop again. It was open so I bought my vape juice and retuned home. Relaxed with Jenn for awhile. Later went out that afternoon for a few more errands, and returned home around 2:30" __________...

  THE HOLMES-RAHE LIFE STRESS INVENTORY; SOCIAL ADJUSTMENT RANKING SCALE __________________________________________ WHAT IS THE HOLMES-RAHE STRESS INVENTORY?    The Holmes and Rahe stress scale, also known as the Social  Readjustment Rating Scale, is a list of 43 stressful life events that  can contribute to illness. The test works via a point accumulation  score which then gives an assessment of risk. The American  Institute of Stress, for instance, regards a score of 300 or more as  an "80% chance of health breakdown within the next 2 years".  While there is good evidence that chronic stress can lead to ill  health, there is not much evidence to support the ranking of  stressful life events in this manner. ________________________________________________ DEVELOPMENT   In 1967, psychiatrists Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe  examined the medical records of over 5,000 medical patients as a  way to determine whether...

  WHAT RESEARCH OF MASS SHOOTINGS REVEALS _________________________________________ AIMS        The starting point of interpretation consists of understanding school shootings as violent actions committed by students with the need to assert their masculinity. Masculinity is a social value.     Research has shown that a school shooter's mental health alone is insufficient perspective for solely explaining reasons why they incidents shootings occur. ___________________________________ SIGNS AND RED FLAGS     The most problematic are the implications of the lone wolf perpetrator. The lone wolf scenario tends to make people see violence as non-systemic. There is no one single factor that can be isolated amongst the myriad of variables that go into the ingredients of creating a school shooter.      The use of weapons can be seen ass an expression of masculinity Weapons are also symbols of masculinity. Just  bring...

"WHEN CRIME AND POLITICS COLLIDE" _______________________________________________________      Crime is often viewed as a social or moral issue. Expectations range from individual characteristics such as lack of impulse control, a poor upbringing, too societal factors. Such as marginalized groups and inequality. Often, one overlooked aspect of crime is its connections to politics. _____________________________________ CRIME AS A POLITICAL PHENOMENON     Crime can be seen as a political phenomenon influenced by politics and power structures; with the potential to shape, and be shaped, by political events. The influence of politics of crime can be seen at all levels: locally, and nationally. Even on the local level, politics can shape the way Law Enforcement operates and how crime itself is reported.     In some cases, political corruption can lead to a breakdown in law enforcement and increased criminal activity. Also, policies such as mandato...

  THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE ____________________________ WHY IS IT CALLED THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE?  Some people who have experienced any type of physical, sexual,  or emotional abuse can attest to the fact that the abuse happened  in very predictable cycles. In some instances, violence can be  repetitive and may have generational roots. People who experience trauma as children are likely to experience  triggers that they don't understand when they become parents.  These triggers may cause the parent to repeat old patterns that  they are already familiar with. ________________________ CYCLE OF ABUSE When abuse is described as a cycle, it's often separated into four stages: 1.TENSION BUILDING: This is when the abuser starts to get angry . The potential victim may try to calm their partner down. 2. THE INCIDENT : This is the moment when an abusive event  happens. Abuse can be physical, emotional, or sexual. 3. THE HONEYMOON PERIOD: In this stage, the ...

  'WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING; THE REVEALING OF THE SECRET SELF (Stephan Sterns)" _____________________________      Research has shown that we have a public sense of self, and "at home" self, and we all have a secret self. In general,  meaning  those things we not always share with others. With the average person, the one who is not mentally ill, and a pedophile, much like Stephan Sterns, there is a HUGE difference in secret self of someone mentally stable, and someone who is not. The real question I am sure we would all love to know, is what people, places, things, people, conversations, transpire, when there's a presumption that "no one is watching." Or, in the instance of Reddit, similarly so, under the guise of anonymity , Stephan gives documented posts, over a period of years, as breadcrumbs, clues, and insights into his secret self, who he was communicating with, and who he TRULY IS when "no one is watching." All of the following individua...

  "FIGHT, FLIGHT, AND ADRENALINE" _______________________________ STRESS IN THE GENERAL SENSE     A stressful situation, whether environmental; such as deadlines. Or, our responses are psychological; such as persistently worrying about losing one's job. A stressful incident can make the heart pound, breath quickens; muscles tense, and sweat appears.    The combination of reactions is also known as the "fight or flight response". This response is evolved as a survival mechanism, enabling people to react quickly to life=threatening situations. The carefully-orchestrated, yet instantaneous , sequence of hormonal changes come along, helping the person to fight the threat of safety; or to flee.    Over time, repeated activation of stress response takes its toll on the body. Research suggest stress leads to higher blood pressure and can cause brain changes that contribute to anxiety; even depression. Additionally, more recent research links fight o...

  ANSWERING QUESTIONS OF WITNESS HARASSMENT, VICTIM INTIMIDATION, in a criminal investigation ________________________________________ HARASSMENT DEFINED: covers a variety of behaviors that are  offensive in nature. It is commonly understood as behavior that  demeans, humiliates, and or intimidates a person. In a legal sense, these behaviors appear as disturbing, upsetting and threatening to witnesses in a criminal cases.

Lastly, an example would be obtaining the personal cell phone data/number, belonging to a victim, and initiating UNWANTED contact for the sole purpose o...

STEPHAN STERNS STATEMENT ANALYSIS __________________________________________________  Stephan Sterns, 38 years old DOB: 4/22/86   QUESTION: "WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN FEELING LATELY?"    STERNS: " Anxiety mostly. Money problems lately. Ativan since Saturday."      Noted: odd response to an open-ended feelings-question.  While one might expect there to be a palpable level of anxiety  surrounding the alleged "missing"/"disappearance" of a child whose life one has been in for 7 years, his level of distress seems muted at best. His emotions, kind of like his words, are rather rehearsed and flat-lined/non-expansive. Not an answer one would expect/what is normal in response to this question. While it, by itself, proves nothing, it is a red flag to be more aware on responses to further questions, not guilt or conviction. ______________________________________________ QUESTION: "WHAT DID YOU DO WHENEVER YOU ARRIVED AT JENN'S PLACE?" STERNS: "...

  THE PARAPHILIA'S and adverse effects on CUSTODIAL RIGHTS ___________________________________________ INTRODUCTION: In the United States, forensic interviews that psycho/sexual in nature are focused on any childhood molestation, rape, viewing, possessing, and distributing child pornography.    The determination of the presence or absence of a paraphilia  disorder is likely to have a significant impact in possible sentencing recommendations for offenders (determining whether the prisoner should or should not be eligible for parole). The presence of a paraphilia is associated with increased rates of recidivism. Clearly, the findings of paraphilia in a forensic  interview would ADVERSELY effect custody/custody rights. __________________________________________ WHAT ARE PARAPHILIAS?          The specific sexual disorders, as listed in the DSM V, were selected for inclusion in the DSM itself because of their noxiousness and fa...
