Little Bobalonie was one of the most polite sweetest boys in the neighborhood as a child. Nobody would have suspected him for the bloody murders of 12 women. It's crazy how a person can pass for being such a great person, but in reality they turn out to be mentally sick. Your best friend could even turn out to be one of the many. In this paper the psychological behaviors, thought process, and motives of mass and serial killers will be discussed. .
Many of the killers suffer from some sort or psychological disturbance in their lives. The problems can range from their parents, peers, or anyone in their daily surroundings. Also, about 85% of the world's serial killers, by one estimate, live in the United States, and are nearly always men (Internet). It all comes down to the individual (Lt. Denis Cremins). Brain disorders are a frequently proposed explanation. Clinical studies do suggest that a brain disorder or injury can trigger outbursts of anger and less frequently in violent behavior. At least 14 million people in the United States are victims of some sort of brain dysfunction, which may have been present from birth or the result of an injury or disease (Levin and Fox). In some cases a lot of the convicted suffer from abuses, such as physical or emotional. He or she may have been bullied by other kids at school, or by anyone in their neighborhoods. They may have been teased by their appearance, their speech, or just because others "didn't like them". The child may have been unpopular as well. Their self-esteem may also be brought down by name-calling.
A lot of the people could have went through physical abuse from peers or parents. They could also come from a nurturing family. Which can also lead a killer to putting off the impression that he is a gentleman of some sort. The parents could have showered the child with gifts, and praised them constantly. .
In other families, a child may come from a rotten family.
