Answer:

psychological factors such as environment, mental illnesses, and peer-to-peer impressions are key elements that play the reason upon why one may commit atrocities.

Step-by-step explanation:

offenders often times have a motive as to why they may act upon a violent tendency. it can be disregard and hatred for the victim, it can be because the victim has agitated the offender prior, it can be because the victim has personally attacked the offender too. other reasons include mental illness and delinquency, mental illness is contributed to by the offender’s environment. whether they seek help to control their tendencies are purely their own decision.
