We're getting a bit off topic but there must be a link back to movies somewhere along the line :
Many years ago, I was sent to the Turana Youth Training Centre to sort out their filing. A few years before this, a couple of mates had "done time" in Turana and to do so was seen as a badge of honour to some of my schoolmates.
After a couple of hours of sorting through the files, it became very obvious that a common thread was sexual abuse at a young age, generally by family members and/or family friends. Many of the tough kids that we admired/feared had been violated by those who should have been nurturing and protecting them.
Violence and misogyny were common threads in my neighbourhood but I think that it was learned behaviour rather than some innate desire to harm/degrade others.
