How Serial Killer Minds Work

By Allyson Burke


Studies show that serial killers are actually cowards and very insecure individuals. To get an idea about how serial killer minds work, one should study the background of such individual to conclude why they commit shameful acts like these. Most often these individuals face a very disturbed childhood where they were involved in sexual, mental or physical abuse by someone close to them.

The torture and abuse that they face throughout their adolescent life leads them to develop same attitude towards other people as well. Their temper can't be viewed as typical or normal because they consider themselves superior and don't think about other individuals who they start killing.

Not everyone of them lives a lonely life, indeed many of them carry on living a normal life and bear families and kids. Their daily life is different and criminal one is different. They do that just to make sure no one finds them suspicious at all. With the expectation that not a single person suspects them they don't hesitate to do whatever they feel like doing and that is to proceed with killings.

Most of the serial killers try to get rid of their guilt or feeling of shame by killing others. This guilt goes back to their childhood or early teenage years when they were abused by someone close to them. They make that guilt a motivation on the basis of which they continue to kill whoever they feel like deserves to be killed.

No one is a born killer, but certain life circumstances and conditions lead some individuals to commit such awful crimes. Every serial killer starts with his first crime in a place where he finds himself comfortable. For instance, it could be near his home because he is comfortable and familiar with the surroundings and knows how to hide his crime.

Studies reveal that some of these individuals have psychological issues as well where they claim that they did not kill anyone but a voice in their head forced them to do such an act. Some believe that by killing others they are getting rid of all the dirty and evil people from this world. They think they are destined to do such thing and don't feel any guilt or remorse for their acts.

You would also come across some psycho killers who commit such crimes just for the purpose of fun. They have no specific motivation or understanding behind why they commit such acts, they just feel like doing it. A certain level of satisfaction is gained while they kill other people. It feels like as if they are addicted to killing just as individuals are addicted to drugs or other bad habits.

To get an accurate understanding about the functionality of serial killer minds, one may do a thorough investigation on this subject. It can't be reasoned that each killer's personality works in similar way because each one of them have their own manner of thinking and everybody thinks distinctively. The reason behind their killing spree differs from individual to individual.
