The perpetrator is also likely to engage in ever-escalating rationalizations, often arguing that the offenses serve a greater good. Finally, the victim is blamed for the abuse: in the case of the detainees, if they would only “behave,” and confess, they wouldn’t bring all this on themselves.
罪犯也有可能将他们的行为无限合理化，并经常辩称这样做是为了达到一个的良好目的。最后，受害者被归咎为要对受到虐待承担责任：在被押的情况下，如果他们仅仅能“表现不出格”并坦白其罪行，他们是不会招致这些东西的。
