Serial Killers As Social Victims Chasing Victims

A serial killer is defined as someone who kills three or more people in a subsequent time period with cooling down time in between. The technically aspect of this series of murder are must be separate event, shouldn't happen at a time and they are driven by a psychological thrill or pleasure. They usually don't have empathy and guilt of what they have done mostly egocentric these characters brand them as psychopaths.

These serial killers were a mask to hide their cruel face of theirs, they would appear very normal and having regular life. They do very much good work in concealing. Studying the biography of the serial killers implies 75 percent of one common aspects which is blindly ignored, past trauma like abusive parents, abusive environment in which they are brought up and problems they had faced. The study says that sociopathic behavior is something develops throughout years

History
According to historical criminologists, serial killers have existed throughout history. According to some reports, medieval serial killers inspired stories like werewolves and vampires. Liu Penguli of China, a Prince of Jidong (144 BC), was attacking slaves for sheer sport. Power was used to hide this from the king and it was exposed that he had murdered more than 80 people.

Liu Pengli was made a commoner and was banished. Between 1740 and 1840, members of the groups called Thuggee cult in India may have murdered a million of people. A cult member named Thug Behram is suspected of murdering as many as 931 people. In London in 1888, the unnamed killer Jack the Ripper, dubbed the 1st known serial killer, murdered at least 5 women and maybe more.

The metropolitan Police launched a large search and examination into him, during which they developed many current criminal investigation procedures. The golden period of serial murder in the US spanned from 1970 to 2000. The no of serial killers in the US reached in 1989 and has subsequently been dropping steadily. The increase in serial killing has been related to development, which has brought individuals closer together and provided secrecy. A famous professor in Radford University in Virginia, Blames the decrease in serial killings to the use of parole less frequently, greater forensic equipment, and people acting more carefully.

Social Victims
The fact is that the wounds they experienced in their early years of life can lead to them becoming serial killers later in life. The psychological impact of a variety of factors like family issues such as divorce, lack of communication, child abuse and isolation, lack of compassion from family members, affects one's personality, also induces additional factors like criminal genes or other biological backgrounds which are more possible to occur or stive to make an otherwise innocent person a criminal in the future. Although others may disagree with this idea, many serial killers who are assessed for mental illness provide similar information about their lives and psychological problems.

For example, Ted Bundy, a famous serial killer killed more than 100 women in his span. But the thing is he was not born murdered, "murders are made not born" "A trauma can turn things where it has no return". Of course, this does not mean serial killers are any less than criminal. It's preferable to think of it as a scientific explanation for a terrifying behavior.

 When people hear about a serial killer, first thing in their mind is, how does a normal looking person could do this? Main cause for serial killers to have behavioral disorders is their past and they become victims of their own past. Serial killers are made put of a mix of genes and environment, according to research. This indicates that it's not an either -or situation; both aspects must be present for someone to become a serial killer

Past Influence
Serial killer are victims of their traumatic childhood and genes. It's a hazardous time boom waiting to happen of a potential killer has the wrong DNA and had a bad childhood. According to criminologists, both biological and environmental factors can convert a youngster into a cold-blooded killer.

It is widely acknowledged that child abuse is more common among serial killers than in the general population. The occurrence of abuse in the people's population must be investigated in order to fully understand the occurrence of abuse with serial killers. It's worth noting that serial killers have a much higher rate of abuse than the overall population.

Environmental factors, such as hunger, social and economic stress, and a lack of education, are still among the most powerful markers of behavioral abnormalities in adulthood. Childhood abuse has long been recognized by psychologists as a potential cause for violence. According to a study, boys who are subjected to unpredictable, coercive, and harsh parenting are more likely to grow antisocial personalities and become violent offenders.

Naturally, not all abused boys turn aggressive. The thought that some variations, such as those that cause neuronal disturbance or hyperactivity in the brain, may put them at hazard for aggression is interesting but it is not, however, the only or even the primary cause. The FBI's intense study on 36 serial killers gives a broad picture.

All the offenders came from broken homes and experienced a cold, unfriendly, and harsh upbringing: 13 offenders claimed physical abuse, 23 psychological, and 12 sexual abuse as children. All of the person's relationships with their mothers were characterized by indifference, separation, lack of love and neglect. They didn't have much emotional or physical interaction.

To summarize the foregoing information, one can't argue that serial killers are not dangerous criminals, but can certainly argue that they may be victims of their own past and previous lives or lives that they did choose to live. They may have been unwitting victims of the situation they have battling since childhood.

There many serial killers story that matches the below description. They tend to develop this interest because of their past.

Conclusion
No one is born criminal in this world. Thing that happens to be is their circumstance and surrounding or harsh childhood the suffered. All these serial killers have one thing in common is lack of love and compassion. The all were deprived of love and safe family and surrounding to grow up. they are result of their parents and families' failure.

If they had a chance of having someone to love them and somebody and kept them safe, they would have been normal. The rage the hold and suppress within themselves causes all this. No matter of explanation they are still criminals but the safe and normal childhood while growing up will prevent from creating more serial killers.
