Inside the mind of a Serial Killer and the current biological differences between our minds and that of a serial killer.…
Serial murder is the unlawful killing of two or more victims by the same offender(s), in separate events (Morton, 2005). For centuries serial killers have plagued society. These social deviants cunningly meander through communities murdering the most vulnerable: women, children, the homeless, and the elderly (Guillen, 2002). This paper will focus on two serial killers; Pedro Lopez and Jose Antonio Rodriguez Vega.…
Glazer points out “Serial killers probably account for at most about 200 victims in the United States each year or 1 percent of all homicides” (Paragraph three). The reasoning for the violent acts varies with killers along with the motives. Glazer says “from head trauma to childhood abuse {…} to explain how someone becomes a serial killer, but many people suffer from such conditions without becoming serial killers” (Paragraph three). These beings unlike murderers kill in a brutal, violent and disgraceful way. Like Glazer states “most serial murder is an intimate experience for the killer in which the torture of the victim and watching the victim die are important parts of the experience. Sexual murderers often engage in bizarre sexual practices with their victims both before and after death” (Paragraph…
Their studies had even fewer participants than Macdonald’s original study; the FBI only used 36 murderers, 25 of which were serial killers, and no non-violent criminals as controls. Even with this small amount of data theories were developed and articles published. They did, however, add some subject background data that may provide further clues to predictors. They found most, three quarts, had single and/or indifferent parents growing up, three quarters had atypical sexual desires, and that three quarters had been abused (Brice,…

I currently still have some questions as to what other similarities might occur between serial killers such as chromosome abnormalities or brain defects. I will be continually checking these doctors and researcher’s information gathered from their testing and experiments to hopefully receive new and improved information. One of the most helpful things to do is watch movies and documentaries on not only serial killers but their families, the detectives, doctors, and the researchers. The one problem that I feel I might encounter is not having enough evidence and consistent information to back it up because it is a new study being done. Although I have continuing questions, I believe that I have covered my research topic to the best of my ability and now my own curiosity will keep me wondering and wanting to know more information than what has been given to me.…

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 are an imperative piece of history murders committed in the late and modern era now play a course in the historical background of killers. It is an interesting topic on the basic that there is in depth information, statistical evidence, and expert testimony to accumulate and understand how serial killers work. Infamous killers such as Ted Bundy, Jack the Ripper, and Jeffrey Dahmer all had one characteristic in common the categorization of a serial killer all three committed murder in the most barbaric manner. Bundy classified as good looking and charming he killed at least twenty-eight victims. Dahmer cannibalized his victims and killed seventeen people mostly homosexuals and Black Americans (Holmberg).

It is crucial to acknowledge and understand the consequences of a serial killer that lurks in silence and to prohibit the chances of becoming a…
Previous research results regarding the characteristics of male serial killers has long been inadequate and unstable at best. Although there has been little agreement amongst researchers, limited recognition has been given to the Hickey Trauma-Controlled Method (2002) as it pertains the sexual motivations of serial killers. As a result, in 2004, Dr. William Amdt, Dr. Tammy Hiepas, and Dr. Juhu Kim conducted a quantitative study, attempting to address known past difficulties and inaccuracies. They hoped to provide additional solid data and a conceptual framework, while also focusing on providing other strong, measurable data. The study used the HTCM (Hickey,…
Throughout recorded history, from as early as the 17th Century, there have been a plethora of inhumane sadistic crimes resulting in the death of countless individuals. Some of the most callous crimes trace back as early as the 1800s; particularly to the infamous Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, “H.H. Holmes”, America’s very first serial killer. As such, in the mid-18th century the field of Criminology arose. This new field allowed individuals to study crime as well as why individuals commit them. Furthermore, this contemporary field allows individuals, such as a criminologist, to analyze crime and develop theories as to why people deviate from socially accepted norms. Although the Criminology field has undergone much development since it arose in the…
Abstract: Kautilya was the key adviser to the Indian king Chandragupta Maurya (c. 317-293 B.C.E.), who first united the Indian subcontinent in empire. Written about 300 B.C.E., Kautilya'sArthasastra was a science of politics intended to teach a wise king how to govern. In this work, Kautilya offers wide-ranging and truly fascinating discussions on war and diplomacy, including his wish to have his king become a world conqueror, his analysis of which kingdoms are natural allies and which are inevitable enemies, his willingness to make treaties he knew he would break, his doctrine of silent war or a war of assassination against an unsuspecting king, his approval of secret agents who killed enemy leaders and sowed discord among them, his view of women as weapons of war, his use of religion and superstition to bolster his troops and demoralize enemy soldiers, the spread of disinformation, and his humane treatment of conquered soldiers and subjects.…
