    Serial Killers Essay

    A lot of people want to blame the parents of the offenders, asking “what did you turn your child into?” 36% of serial killers were physically abused, 26% were sexually abused, and 50% were psychologically abused (Mitchell and Aamodt 45). Many people have logically come to the conclusion that just because someone is abused, it does not mean that they will become a serial killer; or even a murderer; which is true. In the general population (people who have never committed murder) only 6% are physically abused, 3% are sexually abused, and 2% are psychologically abused (Mitchell and Aamodt 45). The dramatic difference of abuse frequency between people who are serial killers and people who are not seems evident enough to support that serial killers are created.…

He not only murdered 17 men, but also engaged in necrophilia, cannibalism, and zombieism after drugging, molesting, and strangling the men to death (“Jeffrey Dahmer Biography”, n.d.).

    Serial Killers: A Short Story

    Identity B I watched her gentle face turned all the colors of the lower half of the rainbow as I slowly tightened my grip on the yellow braided rope around her fragile throat. As she took her last breath, as her spirit left her body, I gently placed her in the rear of my new car, and drove off into the cool October night; I disposed of the evidence in the only water hazard in Bell Gardens Golf Course. Sure, they’d find it eventually, but by then I’ll be long gone. The woman’s frantic voice was garbled, as the reception in the trunk of the gray honda civic was less than ideal.…

    Theodore Rober: An American Serial Killer

    Theodore Rober is an American serial killer, kidnapper, rapist, burglar who assaulted and murdered many young women and girls during the 1970s, and I think many more women then he admitted to. He liked to spy on these young and attractive college women, first near his home in Washington, then moving east to Utah, Colorado, and lastly in Florida. Bundy would spy on these women with a ruse, many times wearing his arm in a sling or his leg in a fake cast and walking with crutches. He would then use his charm and faked disability to convince his victims to help him carry books or unload objects from his car. He was also known to mimic authority figures, such as police officers and firefighters, to gain victims’ trust before he attacked.…

    Essay On Are Serial Killers Born Or Made

    People have continuously asked the question of whether serial killers are born or made. Researchers have done countless studies to provide the world with an answer. Truth be told, despite all of the research, there is still no definite answer (Allely, Minnis and Thompson). Of course, something is mentally wrong with a person if they desire killing other human beings, but the decision to act on this desire is based solely on other influences that caused the person to make that choice. People are obviously more comfortable with blaming the act of serial killing on some mental defect of the brain because it is frightening to think to think we as a society play a part in a person becoming a serial killer.…
