There is so much to do so much to say.
On NPR this morning and later at the Univ. of MN Professor Owen Jones talked about the possibility that biology and an understanding of psychology through the recent scientific breakthroughs in evolution and genetics could help to prevent crimes and could change the way we write laws.
Scaring kids out of their shoes about perverts is one way but another is to educate them about what they are up against as they enter the world of human sexuality. Let me give you an example.
The most probable predator for a 14 year old girl is the 14 year old boy sitting next to her. Both girl and predator could do well with a little education about the differences in genders in areas of sexuality. Males seduce. But they dont's know why and can choose not to. Girls resist, but they don't know why they should. Understanding the mating strategies of the human male and female can lead to better decisions. Less presure from the boys. Girls that don't give in to peer presure.
For internet predators it would be helpful to young people to know that they are not disimilar to the teen predator professing love in the back seat of his Chevy. It might help them to understand that predators on the net may be as convincing as the boy they are dating. why? Because they aren't all that abnormal. They aren't all that uncommon.
Now the teen predator is not really an unthinking, unfeeling predator. He is a human being doing what those things do. If he doesn't succeed in seducing her he may well fall in love with her and start acting 'human'.
The internet predator? Not the unthinking, unfeeling beast we imagine. Maybe a little lost and confused but he won't be foaming at the mouth. He won't be without charm. This will only make it easier for him to victimize. However he is as clueless as the 14 year old boy.
Do you see how these things are related? Do you see the possibilities in education?
