I myself was also looking for evidence to support her claims that beliefs caused these men to commit their crimes. But then I thought why do you need evidence when you have proof from the men who committed the crimes? They are telling you about their mind states before they commit their crimes. I had always wondered how do people work themselves up to commit a crime and now I know. If you think about it her theory does actually make sense. I mean before we do anything we have to have a certain belief that would motivate us to do something or not do something. I do believe all people that commit crimes do it for the sake of feeling powerful. If you don't understand that then think about how you feel when you are angry and say a curse word. You know that it is wrong but you feel such a powerful release by uttering that toxicity. These men get a physical release out of committing violence. This may also explain why there's such an addiction to crime by criminals. I wonder has anyone ever even considered that criminals are addicted to crime? If they are addicted just think about how hard it will be to reform them? How many times do alcoholics and drug users go in and out rehab? You know what's even more disturbing is the fact that because they have these reactions to these crimes their brains may have changed as a result of it,making them wired for crime. Maybe teaching men how to be powerful in their own lives will help them to be less violent? Just a suggestion. I think another problem is  men are frowned upon for showing their vulnerabilities.Men are like everyone else they need an outlet for there feelings. I think if they don't get that proper outlet they turn aggressive. It's their way of crying without crying.Yet society tells them you can't cry, you can't be vulnerable, you must be strong at all times. Um hello, no one is strong all the time, life makes sure of that. We as a society need to rethink the conditioning that we place upon the lives of others. Treat people as humans and get rid of this gender role business. It causes a lot of unnecessary social problems. Maybe back in the day men not showing their vulnerabilities was a way for them to survive, but now we are in a more civilized society so we need to rethink the way we see men. The same goes for the treatment of women. Women are more likely to be depressed because society stamps on their forehead that they must be sub servant to men. They must be pretty, not make waves, and be docile. How about just letting a woman be a human for a change without all the baggage? Our problem as a society is we don't allow people the simple freedom of being a human being.
