Serial Killers
Intro
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the lifestyles of both the potential and the current predicament of serial killers. Specific stereotypes of serial killers are often mislead by the inaccuracy of information provided by the hypothesis of an individual that has not performed the proper research analysis. It has been noted that serial killers often have a background of a bad childhood and/or household in metropolitan and rural areas as well as the racial statistic that states that serial killers are most likely to be White than African American in the United States of America.
Through examination of 3 different scientific journals, this paper will evaluate the childhood predicament of an average serial killer as well as the racial statistic that states serial killers are more likely to be White than African American. The pattern of similar childhood characteristics are both of psychological, physical, and social control (Weatherby 2009) (Morton 2005). Scientifically, different biochemicals interrupt physiological (a form of biology that deals with the normal functions of living organisms and their parts) processes throughout the body which are necessary to lead a productive life. These imbalances were affected by brain structure, brain damage, and environmental conditions (Weatherby 2009). High percentages of serial killers of all different races (including White and African Americans) have had traumatic life experiences or situations such as losing a parent, absence of both biological parents and inconsistent discipline (Hepburn 1998). A study referred to as the Triad of Sociopathy helped to predict future violence and possible homicide from childhood. The triad consists of bed-wetting after the age of 5, cruelty to animals and arson or an interest in fire (Weatherby 2009) (Hepburn 1998).
According to the Radford University study of 2013, Whites are more likely to be serial killers than blacks. Most media sources suggest
