Crime Behavior Analyst Antonio Giannone tells lawmakers that his theory of Sexual Motivation needs to be added to the Canadian Criminal Code as an aggravating factor in the understanding and classification of crimes against the person

[ClickPress, Fri Feb 23 2007] Crime Behavior Analyst and Researcher Antonio Giannone (B.Sc) announced today that his theory of Sexual Motivation needs to be added to the Canadian Criminal Code as an aggravating factor in the understanding and classification of crimes against the person.

“As time has gone by, and my research on crime behaviour has been confirmed as an applicable theory in many crimes of murder; I have decided to present the theory of Sexual Motivation to politicians and lawmakers in Canada, USA, and Europe,” says Giannone. “This program is necessary and must be introduced and passed as a Bill of Law in Canada.”

First created in 2000, his theory has developed since he began sharing it with respected minds in the fields of law enforcement and crime investigation.

“In addition to sexual predator and individual offender law alternatives we must look at what motivates the individual offender within the complete event that took place,” states Antonio Giannone, who has published his findings on his professional website, www.CrimeBehavior.com.

“Everyone tries to understand and reconstruct the event and figure out the time line. But, we must take a further look at the motivational thought process and crime action that has taken place with or without violence,” he explains. The objective is to identify the intentional purpose that is sexual in every crime that is committed against the person.

Giannone says that, by adding and amending the law with a special section for applying Sexual Motivation in Crimes Against the Person and relating it to violent crimes, whether sexual in nature or not; Canadian courts will be permitted to differentiate between a personal sexual motivation or a social motivation – and sentence accordingly.

Of course, amending the Canadian Criminal Code to include Sexual Motivation will likely mean harsher sentencing for criminals in cases where sexual motivation is an identifiable aggravating factor.

“Essentially, in each crime against the person - other than a sexual offence - there shall be an application of sexual motivation as an aggravating factor if sufficient evidence exists that would justify a finding of sexual motivation by a reasonable and an objective finder of fact,” notes Crime Analyst and Researcher Antonio Giannone. “It would be the role of the Crown Prosecutor to find and present whether a sexual motivation was present at the time of the commission of the crime against the person.”

Consequently, a change in law would be beneficial for imposing longer sentences befitting sexually motivated criminal actions, and an increased understanding of the individual offender’s true motivation in regards to specific aggravating circumstances and crime classification.
