Understanding the Motivations Behind Arsonists

Arson is a complex act often linked to a variety of motivations. Arsonists may be driven by anger, revenge, or personal experiences, and they are usually fully aware of their actions. While the term 'pyromaniac' refers to those with a compulsive attraction to fire, most arsons stem from different motives. Ongoing investigations and arrests regarding arson in Cyprus indicate that authorities are attempting to better understand this dangerous behavior.
