Lombroso also maintained that criminals had less sensibility to pain and touch; more acute sight; a lack of moral sense, including an absence of remorse; more vanity, impulsiveness, vindictiveness, and cruelty; and other manifestations, such as a special criminal argot and the excessive use of tattooing.

Mass starvation ran rampant throughout Ukraine and reports of cannibalism soared. Throughout his childhood, Chikatilo was repeatedly told by his mother, that prior to his birth, an older brother of his had
