One of the questions we have to be asking is why these young or older males are doing it. One of the problems we see is, again, that there is a system very deep inside the brain. It's called a seeking system, and when it becomes aggressive, it's called predatory aggression, and it can be triggered by what Brittany was just saying. When that is triggered, it shuts down self-awareness. It shuts down thinking. What happens is that all of the things we've taught them, all of the lessons about the harm, go out the window. They don't process them in the moment.
What we have to do is figure out...and we actually know how to do this. Michelle was hinting at this at the start. They have to learn to recognize in themselves when they are shutting down and why they are shutting down so that we can bring their empathy back online, because empathy shuts down completely. They do not see their victim as a human being. They see them as prey. This is the scariest part of it.
