The Creation of a Serial Killer: Nature vs. Nurture

A famous writer and psychologist, Shirley Lynn Scott said, "Continuous murderers are human black holes and they are afraid because they reflect us." This is true throughout history, as most serial killers are integrated in society. FBI officially defines a series of murders as "three or more murder cases with common characteristics such as suggesting a reasonable possibility that the same actor or actor will commit." But will you chase someone and kill another person?

There are many reasons why people become continuous killers. Most of these concepts are related to the theory of nature versus nurturing. Are continuous killers born with the necessity of killing or what they learn when they grow up? Many people believe that fostering theory may be a concept of belief; chain murder is attributed to poor experiences such as child abuse at young age and harassment at young age. Psychologists and sociologists interviewed serial killers and chose their minds to find something they feel the need to carry out these violent offenses.

Most serial killers suffer from personality disorder. According to the FBI, this is usually psychosis or antisocial personality. The difference between them is nature and cultivation. Mental disorders are born in this way. Impulse control and emotional center of the brain are underdeveloped. By contrast, antisocial personality is learning and usually develops in childhood or young childhood. Well, this does not mean that a chain murderer is a crazy person. Because the defense of "innocent due to mental disorder" is hardly applied to entrained murderers. In order to be regarded as a sign of a crime, we must prove that we can not distinguish right from wrong when committing a crime. Chained murderers are very clear about the difference in mistakes, they do not mind

In today's society, an increasing number of serial killers are appearing in the media. We do not want to be shocked, but we are fascinated. Why do some people become homicide men? Is this a matter of nature or cultivation? In order to compare and contrast every day murderers, I chose four famous serial killers, studied some personality traits and their childhood, and tried to investigate the cause of chain murder. The serial killers I chose were Jeffery Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Richard Ramirez, Ted Bundy.
