Characteristics Of A Serial Killer
When I started watching it, the code brought my attention. Being a serial killer is risky, each time he did a crime I was afraid that he would get caught although, he knew what he was doing. He used to collect blood samples of his victims to relive the moment. He was a good person, with no feelings, and was completely heartless. However, he had a girlfriend, loved playing with kid, wasn’t religious, in fact he did not believe in God. I think he was heartless because he watched his mom getting killed in front of his eyes, she was cut to pieces by drug dealers because she was a snitch, and also she worked with Miami police department. Not only he was a serial killer but also he was a blood spatter analyst who works for Miami-Metro Police Department.

    What characteristics did he share with other serial killers? In the story, it shows that he is unable to control his impulses. It is shown that he basically completely possessed the other person. This is shown on page nine. “‘It was all so quick, he was experienced, and he had practice. It was all in one motion. I had the beer in my hand, and I'm talking about fish, and in an eyelash - boom! - the handcuff was on my wrist. And the tip of the blade was stuck in me. I looked down and I could see through my shirt. I was bleeding.’ Traci caressed the bandage under his t-shirt. ‘Then his eyes changed,’ Traci said. ‘Maybe the sight of red blood did it.’” This sudden movement proves the fact that Jeffrey’s impulses could not be controlled. In addition to this, another piece of evidence is on page eight. “‘He said, ‘If you don't do what I say, I'm going to kill you.’ He said, ‘I've done this before. Don't make a move because I can kill you,’ he snapped his fingers, ‘just like that!’’” The fact that he has done this same exact thing before shows that he could not control his actions. Any sane person, after almost killing someone, would try to stop immediately instead of continuing with his dangerous acts. In all, his personality is very sudden, controlled, and yet unexpected. He may seem like a nice person, but in reality is a murderous…

    Who is that perfect serial killer? I would have to say it was the one who committed their crimes and was never caught, suspected or tried for those crimes. The one person who “got away” with their crimes and was not even a suspect or on any law enforcement radar to become a suspect.…

    People become serial killers for a reason. The expression “Serial Killers” first presumably originated in 1970 by late FBI Agent Robert Ressler. Before this time society categorized them with Mass Murders. Agent Ressler was lecturing at a college when he heard someone describe the killing as having an unending ‘serial’ cycle. Going back to his childhood, he remembered the movie industry titled “Serial Adventures” which showed short films of Batman and other heroes. None of the shows that were played came to a gratifying close. It always left you wanting more. Ressler came to the conclusion that there should be two separate category’s for mass murders, a single killing of many people at one location, and serial homicide, multiple killings that…

    Serial killers have always been overdramatized in movies, TV shows, and on the news, but no one truly understand them or their disorder. Dexter is a show that truly brought this mental illness to life, and understanding it is a job in itself. Dexter is a television show with a young man who is a serial killer that kills killers. While this is an extraordinary idea, the idea can still be examined and his characteristics are plausible. Being able to understand the characteristics of an antisocial personality disorder patient, what causes the disease, and what the outcome of treatment versus no treatment are is important when evaluating a patient, and eventually trying to fully solve the problem.…

    Think of serial killer. Does he kill because it is in his genes? No matter what his parents did to raise him; he would have been a violent, serial killer no matter what. On the other hand, did his environment shape him to be a serial killer? Such as, his parent’s did not pay him enough attention, or he was abused as a child. Nature and nurture are factors that have come to be recognized as playing or interacting roles in development.…

    What makes people do inexplicable, terrible, socially unacceptable acts of violence? This question brings to mind the age old psychological theory, Nature vs. Nurture. Are people born predisposed for violence? Is there something genetically different about serial killers and murderers? Can their behavior be explained by a difference in their very make-up? Or are they made violent by seeing violence, having un-supportive and demanding parents, being mentally, sexually, and physically abused? Nature vs. nurture is one of the most sought after answers in the field of psychology and may never be “answered” but can be “understood” I feel study in the minds of serial killers has helped to define exactly what nature vs. nurture really means.…

    It is too often where we see serial killers receive the crazy declaration after they commit their crimes. Some people might place mass murderers and serial killers in the same category. Nevertheless, that would be incorrect due to the fact that they are two totally different types of killers. While both of these individuals may fit in the category of killing many people, the difference lies in the reason they kill and the period over which individuals kill their victims. Serial killers are totally different and are a more dangerous threat to society. They may not kill too many people at one time, but some kill for many years without being caught. These types of killers are able to kill over and over again without being detected because they are very careful in their choice of victims. While people have heard many stories about serial…
