What are the characteristics of power seeking killers?
There are different types of killers that are into power. Hitler is a perfect example. Everything Hitler did was about power, how he could use it to better his position of power. He was a real life 'Dr. Evil' who wanted nothing more than to take over the world. Then there are serial killers. Most people don't understand that for serial stranger kiillers the kill is incidental. It's the power over their victims that keep them at it, killing over and over until they die, get caught or just get too old to continue. Ted Bundy loved to watch the light go out of his victim's eyes as he strangled them, in a way it was his demented way to play God. He had total control, their lives and deaths were in his hands, literally.
In the case of Hitler, Stalin and other political figures as well as serial killers like Bundy, Dahmer and Gacy, all have characteristics of one or more personality disorders. No amount of drugs or therapy can help or alter APD and other disorders like it. Because it's not a mental illness but a defective personality there is little that can be done for the aflicted. It is believed by most psychologists that a person's personality is almost completely formed by the age of five. These killers were what they were long before the decision to take another's life. The killings are the manifestation of the disorder, not the other way around.
First - individuals do not file "charges" on anyone. You may file a complaint and the police will investigate - and if warranted, present the facts to the prosecutor - only the prosecutor can file "charges" against anyone.
This may simply be a matter of the kind of "assault" that is being claimed and who it was that 'assaulted' the child. If this is a 'child-on-child' fight, the police will usually not become involved unless it is a repeated act and/or rises to the level of a criminal offense. Police only enforce the CRIMINAL laws.
On the other hand, if the "assault' was of a violent or sexual nature or committed by a non-blood-relative adult (see comment on the discussion page), they SHOULD be investigating the report. If you have a complaint with the actions of the police, file a complaint with their department or request an interview with the prosecutor's office to discuss the matter.

What crime was Spartacus being punished for?
Nobody really knows for sure but Plutarch sites him as nomadic Thraciansmercenary. He was possibly employed as an Auxiliary of the Roman army or in other accounts he was taken captive by the Roman legions then sold as a slave (This account would be more logical and in keeping). It is also said that his wife was captured with him and if true, this leads us to consider that the Romans probably raided Spartacus's camp or home village.
No account explains as to why he was sold into slavery, but we know that he eventually ended up as a Gladiator in the Ludus (Gladiator School) of Lentulus Batiatus. It was from here that he was noted for being a major protagonist in the riot and eventual uprising of the slaves along with two Gauls named 'Crixus' and 'Oenemous'.
If a person threatens to kill someone then the next day kills them is this premeditated?
In a sense it is. For example, I could say that I am going to kill you and then I could go back to where I live and plan out how I am going to kill you and then come back the next day and kill you. So yes it is considered premeditated.
