Inside the Minds of Serial Killers: Why They Kill
There are many cultural myths about serial killers, often
propagated even by mental health professionals. Many assume there is a
"profile" of a serial killer, that serial killers always go for the
same victim type or always use the same MO, that they are more clever
than ordinary people, and that they are inevitably charming and
attractive. The truth is not as simple as that. There are different
types of serial killers and while there are many books that discuss the
serial killer phenomenon especially in relationship to victim types or
context, researchers have not yet been able to come up with a
definition, or type, that covers the broad spectrum of serial killers
and their complex psychological dynamics. Ramsland looks at serial
killer types, illustrating that it is difficult to accurately depict
these elusive, intriguing, and dangerous killers. This book examines a
variety of serial killers, from sexual predators to psychotic killers,
from murder teams to odd eccentric stalkers, in order to present the
distinct psychological dynamics that set serial killers apart from
other violent murderers. Among the motives addressed are lust, control,
glory, profit, thrill, delusions, rage, the desire for company, the
need to please a partner, and even murder as an intellectual exercise.
Serial killers live double lives, hiding their violence even from those
who live with them, so along with a study of motives are chapters
devoted to how close associates have described killers, including
parents, siblings, co-workers, lovers, and survivors. There is no
profile of a serial killer, and this book establishes that in vivid and
frightening detail.
