How do Serial Killers come to be?

There are three theories based on childhoodSlide17

Theory 1:

The compulsion (need) to kill may be the

result of trauma to the brainSlide18

Theory Two

The compulsion to kill is

genetic

. A

mutation in the DNA

happens that puts people on the homicidal path.Slide19

Theory Three

The compulsion is a result of something

dreadful

that happened to the child in

childhoodSlide20

The theories’ commonality:

All theories believe that serial killers begin to show signs in

childhoodSlide21

The signs:

Cruelty to animals

that increases over time

Pyromaniacy

- setting fires

Wetting the bedSlide22

Why do they kill?

Killing is something they can

control

It gives them a way to deal with the

terrifying events and feelings

from childhood

Allows the adult to feel all

powerful

and often fills a

sexual

needSlide23

remind

them of the feeling of power
