The two boys met at Haverstock Secondary School in Greater London in September 1970 , in the school’s playground. David Mulcahy was tall and quite an extrovert character, so he fitted in well with the other pupils. By contrast, John Duffy was very “peculiar looking” according to Stephen Wright, The Daily Mail crime editor who studied extensively on the pair.

One of the rape victim went as far as describing the pair as someone with “one mind but two bodies”, which was later a headline for a newspaper, The Guardian . Duffy admitted to Cutler, his psychologist, that he was “aroused to the idea of rape” and said that Mucahy was “deviously sexually aroused to violence, to make threats and be aggressive”, but never to rape or kill. Prisoner psychologist Jenny Cutler: “they found offending very exciting and rape added to that excitement”. He also self-confessed that even from a young age Mucahy had an interest in the “army and military manuals” and “holding people hostage”. Mulcahy also enjoyed “terrorising people” by jumping out on people from behind the bushes and scaring them, and he himself said that he shared all these interests too. Wright described that “Mulcahy influenced Duffy to play a game of cricket with a hedgehog”27 in school one day until the animal died. He said that they were “sadistic”27 from childhood.

In Turner v. Safley (1987), the Supreme Court ruled in favor of restricting prisoners Constitutional rights. According to the ruling, the restriction of rights is Constitution if “reasonably related to legitimate penological [i.e. safety] interests.” Jeffs communicates sermons and regulations from prison, and limiting the community between Jeffs and the hierarchy of Short Creek attempts to severe ties between Jeffs and the FLDS. Satinder Singh, an ACLU attorney, said “…prisoners can limit communication, including mail and visits….However, the prison can’t suppress Jeffs free speech rights just because it doesn’t like what he has to say (Singh).” While Jeffs ideologies continue to dictate the infrastructure of Short Creek, minimizing communication enhances the chances of stopping the theocratic rule in Short Creek.

And the Government in express terms is pledged to protect it in all future time….”11

James, the Supreme Court held that the beneficiary of the Aid to the Families with the Dependent Children must allow a house visit by a case manager, when the law requires it, or relinquish her entitlement to open help. The Supreme Court did not view it as a pursuit in fourth amendment terms. Regardless of the possibility that the visit were a pursuit, the Court said it was sensible: it was made for the advantage of the kid; it was "a gentle means" of guaranteeing that duty stores are appropriately spent; the case manager was not a "uniformed authority"; and the beneficiary had the decision of summoning her entitlement to decline or relinquishing the advantages. Three contradicting Justices (William Douglas, William Brennan, Thurgood
