Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review and compare information obtained for four female serial murder perpetrators, exploring possible personality features that make the female serial killer unique. As this is the first project to explore the personalities of female serial murderers through data collected from the offenders themselves, it is primarily an exploratory study. Design/methodology/approach – The data presented were collected as part of a larger project, which solicited participation from incarcerated, suspected serial murderers.

The study of serial murder is a very important part of criminal psychology, and in order to help the development of the current society, we need to fully understand the psychological process of serial killers to prevent more tragedies from happening. yet there is a lot of literature that studies the psychology of murderers, but it is not explicitly comprehensive enough to analyze serial killings because of the killers’ personalities, family education and genetics.

Abstract:

This article contributes to criminological research on cultural constructions of serial murderers by investigating the little-known Canadian case of Peter Woodcock. There is a tacit scholarly consensus that news media routinely sensationalize modern serial killers as celebrity monsters. The case of Woodcock aligns with a different theoretical trajectory geared toward explaining the relative obscurity of otherwise “made for primetime” serial murder events. Examining coverage in the local and national press, the article builds on the sparse literature concerned with absences in conventional expl

Abstract:

Historically, serial homicide has been defined in various ways by experts. Recently, there have been renewed efforts to arrive at a consensus definition, yet these efforts have not yet been resolved. At the heart of the controversy appears to be the prioritization of either qualitative definitional features, such as offenders’ intentions and motives, or more observable quantitative features, specifically a minimum threshold of completed murders. The present technical note briefly summarizes this controversy before considering new empirical and theoretical research developments. These developme

Abstract:

Serial murderers have long been a subject of fascination and concern in the fields of criminology and psychology. This article explores the multifaceted factors that contribute to the emergence of serial killers, including childhood trauma, mental illnesses, and sociocultural influences. Research indicates that childhood trauma, including abuse, neglect, and adoption-related issues, can significantly shape an individual's propensity for violence in adulthood. Mental illnesses, such as antisocial personality disorder, psychopathy, and sadistic traits, are also key factors that increase the risk

The article is a comparative study of two stories about murderers, characters of the novels “African Psycho” (2003) by Alain Mabanckou and “American Psycho” (1991) by Bret Easton Ellis. The similarities in the construction of the main characters – fascination with popular culture, brutality and vulgarity, identity problems and interest in famous serial killers – are evidence of Mabanckou’s intertextual play with a popular American novel.

The ABC Murders is a novel about a serial murderer who kills his victims in an alphabetical order.

Real life is filled with serial killers, mass murderers, and sickos of all degrees. Much of the twentieth century, it could be argued, has been devoted to the ingenious production and disposal of human corpses. But the scary thing is not that eye-gougings and vivisections and meals of human flesh may occasionally happen. The scary thing, the thing that ought to make the heart pound and the skin go cold and tingly, is that somehow we find this fun to watch on the small and large screens.

The role model is Dr Marcel Petiot, the worst serial killer in French history. More recently, Dr Harold Shipman was Britain's worst serial killer and in the United States and Zimbabwe, Dr Michael Swango killed 60 patients.

A serial killer is defined as an individual who murders two or more victims over an extended period of time, ranging from days to years, with the crimes often being sexually motivated. Although there is a growing popular emphasis on the phenomenon, there is a paucity of rigorous research in the area. The present article reviews existing motivational theories of serial murder and proposes additional explications from a range of disciplines. Suggestions for future research are presented and integrational approaches are encouraged.
