Scatterpoint Graph

The Concept:

On a scatterpoint graph, the definition of what it is and why it is used show a visual representation of how two variables correlate to the x and y axes. Some dots may be clustered together indicating a relationship. What if there is a dot that is far away from, and not appearing to be part of the pattern analysis? It is easy to disregard it as an anomaly. However, don’t disregard this, as it needs further investigation.

I will show you why. I have an alternative viewpoint to show you.

The graph is the x and y axes that forms a right angle. For this viewpoint, the x and y axes are irrelevant in this example. More importantly, let’s look at the diagonal line, and all the dots around it. Now, let’s look at an example using law enforcement trying to solve an issue of argument in a case.

Let’s consider that a HCP (high conflict personality) is at the start of the diagonal line, his position stays the same. The HCP will cause further harm through liaison with others (criminal alliance) to commit a crime, while the HCP comes out squeaky clean. The HCP does not move from the lower left.

Look at the diagonal line as the victim. HCPs who have a “target of blame” (Source: Bill Eddy) will focus on one person, escalating to violent interactions and/or defamatory comments. HCPs are highly sensitive to abandonment. They will take extreme measures to ensure their victim does not move on without them, especially when they are losing control of them.

The Distraction

When an HCP draws police, security and even attorneys attention to a person who is painted as a troublemaker, realize - this is a distraction. You need to ask yourself, why is the HCP causing a distraction? It is done on purpose. Whom does the HCP see as his next opportunity, the next victim? Staff need to watch the HCP too.? If security is distracted, the HCP believes he has “fooled you into thinking, has distracted you, and persuaded a group of people, who are led to believe” an innocent person is a troublemaker. If the HCP is interviewed, it isn’t uncommon that the HCP will blame the innocent person for being a liar. Also, a distraction.

Recap: An HCP who is blaming an innocent person is a distraction from the HCP’s activity. Working in tandem with a criminal alliance (2 or more groups of people who come together for a specific and legitimate assignment) allows them to fly under the radar, go unscathed and allow other people to fall for their crimes. ?

All the dots can be parts and pieces of the case you are working on. A trail of deception is like leaving a line of breadcrumbs that leads straight to the HCP. Consider a “series of missteps” directed at one person; the scatterpoint graph is seen. All activities, events, situations, set-ups, getting fired from a job and even the framing of a murder, all point back to the HCP. No matter how far out in left field the unrelated event appears, do not mistaken it for something to be dismissed as unimportant.

Again, the correlation (things that have happened) compared to the exception of the one event makes it appear that it is out in left field and does not apply. But, it does. Fast forwarding, once it is resolved, there is a break in the case in which an innocent person is freed and an arrest will be made.
