Grammar
Based on domination and coercion?
"based on domination and coercion"? "based on domination (over what? society?) and coercion (by who or what?)"?
Context:
The dynamics that lead a serial killer to a first act of murder develop over a long period of time. I have identified five stages in this process, namely (Cotter, 2007):
1. Emotional problems
2. Initiation
3. Adaptation to murder
4. Trigger event
5. Act of murder
The serial killer’s extreme violence, based on domination and coercion, is a form of compensation for severe emotional problems. When does an individual become aware of the potential of this compensation mechanism? It happens very early on, in childhood. FBI research into the origins of violence in the most dangerous criminals emphasises the
early onset of this initiation stage (Ressler et al., 1992). The troubled, socially isolated child, who develops a taste for the thrill experienced whilst engaging in deviant behaviour, will use his intellectual abilities to construct egocentric alternatives which serve to offset the low level of satisfaction derived from everyday social interaction
( Douglas and Olshaker, 1999).

They mean that his violence is based on domination and coercion. That's some fuzzy writing. They mean that the serial killer in his heart of hearts likes to dominate and coerce people, especially his victims, and he uses violence to do that.
