So how come we don't prevent the development of psychopaths sooner? If we knew they were an abused child who suddenly became introvert and/or started killing small animals, wouldn't you bring these issues up to social services or even a psychologist? Are we blind or just uneducated to these factors or do we truly believe that a child could never be like that. Finally, cover it with a sprinkle of shiftlessness (the lack of one job is what they are known for)Īll jokes aside, these nine steps are key factors used by psychologists to identify and profile a serial killer. Observe voyeurism as it cooks thoroughly in the mind Ĩ. Excessively pour in alcohol and drugs (the more addicted the better) ħ. Beat in some childhood abuse (this will leave an imprint that it seeks to find in its victims) Ħ. Next, prove in some poor family life (this makes sure it grows in the abusive and psychological environment needed to make it extra estranged) ĥ. Whip in some animal torture (it adds extra emphasis on their sociopathic mind and need for controlling others) Ĥ. Unfavourably add a spark of arson (it helps with the manipulation, power and control they are thirsty for) ģ. Gradually add some antisocial behavior Ģ.
Heres my nine step recipe for making a serial killer:ġ. But what ingredients are needed to make pure evil?
So, if it's not always down to their childhood the next most logical answer is their genetics, but this doesn't always show the inner DNA of a serial killer. However, there are some out there that defy this theory. But a common factor between serial killers is there abusive upbringing. Truth be told no one exactly knows why someone becomes a serial killer.

It may seem to be counterintuitive on the surface but many serial killers are actually insecure individuals who are compelled to kill due to a morbid fear of rejection. Researchers have tried to find links between them all and see what similarities there are. There have been many experiments, trials and interviews with various serial killers. Are serial killers born evil, or do we make them evil? Is it in their nature to kill, or do we nurture them to become a murderer? It's the long lived debate we all want to know.
