Law enforcement officials and criminologists have attempted to study the motives of serial killers for years. Each serial killer has specific, distinct motivations, however, there are categorized patterns or typologies. The first typology is visionary serial killers. Visionaries commit murder at the command of psychotic breaks such as listening to voices from deities like God and the Devil. While many serial killers do not have a specific type of victim, visionaries have an ideal victim and…

For example, Jeffrey Dahmer was a notorious serial killer and known cannibal who raped, murdered, and dismembered his victims. Instead of facing retributive punishment for his crimes, he was sentenced to multiple life terms and was later killed by an inmate. A person who…

punishments. For example, in the case of Konerak Sinthasomphone, one of Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims. He was able to escape Dahmer’s apartment, but was severely drugged, tortured, and raped. Police received a call from two African American women. Upon arrival, the officers were informed from the women that he was injured by Dahmer, but the officers refused to listen to them.
