Torturing, trampling, burning and mutilating corpses, as human monsters commit crimes that have gone beyond the norm, placing Arab societies in a state of panic and anxiety over what has become of it, because murder, rape, cutting and amputation have become words we hear every day.
Horrific or “brutal” crimes, as social media pioneers call it, is a phenomenon that has recently spread to most Arab countries, so what are the reasons for it and why do we hear so much about it?
Of the girl Maadi in Egypt, who was crushed under the tires of a public transport “microbus” when it was stolen, and of the child Shaima, who was raped and whose body was cut in Algeria , to the boy Zarqa, whose hands were cut off and his eyes were slit in revenge on his father in Jordan, and the mother who threw her children into Tigris River and blamed her ex-husband.

Psychopathy … crimes without guilt
“Psychopaths are one of the most difficult and complex characters, because it is difficult to understand and interpret, and it is among people who do not feel guilty for the brutality and violence that they have committed. , unlike other criminals, who may feel remorse after reviewing their principles, values and habits they were brought up, ”she explained.
She stressed that “the most important causes that increase crime rates are unemployment, poverty, the spread of drugs and domestic violence”, as well as “exposure to violence from an early age, spread of corruption and indifference of governments to social and political reforms “.
Mental health and scenes of violence
And she pointed out “the psychological causes, such as if a person has an aggressive tendency from childhood, and the lack of adequate awareness of mental health, which results in people who are hateful towards society, who can commit the most serious crimes ”.
“The increase in scenes of violence in films and soap operas, as well as media coverage of crimes by terrorist groups, including ISIS and other organizations, has inevitably led to the strengthening of the aggressive minds of those who hate society, ”Qasas said.
And held that “the criminal who has not committed brutal or unusual crimes, there are many causes and influences of the above, and no reason can make him violent in this way.”

Prisons are not correctional facilities
For her part, the president of the Association< Joint Effort >>, Tami Qozhaya, who deals with drug victims and prisoners, confirmed in an interview with Al-Hurra that “prisons in Arab countries are not reformist and contain many human rights violations.” man and manifestations of torture, which increases the resentment of the criminal and makes him More aggressive. “
“The prisoner acquires dark thoughts and criminal information due to the lack of reform programs, and as if there is an exchange of experiences behind bars,” she said.
Regarding calls to activate the implementation of the death penalty when every crime is committed, Qozhaya refused to impose “a death penalty under international law and adhering to Amnesty International’s position that prohibits however it is the murder of a criminal, “claiming that” crime rates have not declined in countries that allow laws. To death. “
The role of social media
While journalist and researcher on the phenomenon of high crime rates in Jordan, Rana Al-Husseini, stressed in an interview with Al-Hurra that “there is an increase in crime rates, but social media have a role to play in disseminating and revealing what is happening in the governorates and residential areas, which we did not know “.
