About
I genuinely enjoy learning about the behaviors of past and present serial murderers and their childhoods. I'm so intrigued as to what causes murderers to behave in the ways that they do. What leads them to serial homicide as their macabre hobby? I believe if we can discover the cause(s) of their behavior we can prevent them from offending or at the very least decrease the rate of homicides in our society.
