How Do Serial Killers Work? is an article about how people become serial killers such as Ted Bundy, BTK, & John Wayne Gasey. It is explored that serial killers can be identified based on classification, behavior, motives, and sanity.
Many killers start getting into killing at a young age due to abuse or child neglectment, but there are also many that believe that killing was their calling. But many researchers have claimed that they could have APD (Anitsocial Personality Disorder) or have resulted from brain injuries from childhood/birth.

I think that is people become a serial killer they are raised that way. When people are first born they dont know anything. They learn things from other people and from seeing things. So if someone sees their parents hurting other people and laughing at them then they will think that its ok to do that when they get older. People cant be born a serial killer when you are first born you start your life and get to do whatever you want with it and that is your life choice and only you can make it.

I believe that serial killers are raised, not born. I firmly believe in the theory that each person is born a blank slate. How you turn out is based on your experiences and the morals you were brought up with. Thus of course, the people who end up as serial killers must have undergone some experience that made them turn out that way. Perhaps they had a negative childhood that causes them to hold a disrespect for life or the urge to express themself. There is a multitude or reasons.
I just find it so hard to believe that a child who was raised in a loving family and socially appropriate morals to end up as a serial killer. Maybe that is why it is so shocking when something like that does happen. It is scarry because we do not have a reasonable explanation for it.

I think like Leiann said people become serial killers from the way they are raised. Some parents show affection and care for their children. This is less likely for children in this type of family to be a serial killer. These parents are usually involved in their child's life. While other parents abandon and neglect their child. As a result the child has no one to turn to. And sometimes they retaliate their frustration to others. Some children feel alone and angry. As a result they use their anger towards others and can become a serial killer. They use their anger towards others and family and friends of the victim are devastated and hurt.
Saying that a serial killer was "raised" to be that way seems like a strange way to put it. Although I do agree with most people that people aren't born to kill others, I wouldn't say you could raise one to be a killer either. There are cases of people who have gone through abuse from their parents, but they don't necessarily kill others as a result.
I think that people are influenced by their surrounding to do the actions that they do. I'm sure the parents didn't intend to make a killer, but they also shouldn't have been neglectful and filled up their child with negative feelings. As was mentioned in the presentation, sometimes a head injury could have been the cause during childhood.
However, no person could be born a serial killer, it all depends on the things that influence them to chose that path of thinking and action.

I think people are neither born to be a serial killer or raised to be one, it is a mix inbetween. If you grew up influenced by your parents bad behaviors as you grow up you may see their decisions as bad and change. Mental disorders my also contribute, a person with a mental disorder that distors their reality or encourages fixations may kill a select person due to their own version of perception. To become a serial killer a person may have been born with a disorder and raised in a negative way.

I think that people are both born and raised to be serial killers. I think that genetics do play a role in personality and how people turn out, however i believe that the majority comes from our life and experiences. Just because your father is a serial killer doesn't mean you will be too. However, this does make it more likely.

I think that people who are serial killers are raised that way. I think it all depends on how there parents raised them and experiences they encountered to make them mean enough to go around killing people. I think it is all about behaviors that was picked up to make a serial killer a serial killer.

I believe that a serial killer is raised that way. I believe this because most serial killers have a background that is usually very negative environments and are very abusive as well. I believe that there are some odd cases where a person with a normal childhood just becomes a serial killer for an unknown reason. But usually the ones with very bad childhoods are usually the killers because they are around a negative environment and they also think that those things are correct or believe others deserve them as well.

I strongly believe a serial killer is raised to be a killer. Whatever the situation was with the parents' influence, they are the ones responsible for their child turning out the way he/she is. The other half is due to outside negative influences such as the child's friends, teachers, and the media. Violence is shown everywhere we are and as young people, we abdorb the society without thinking whats smart or not. Videogames have been a huge problem since it deals with guns, blood, and violence. The guardians are the ones who need to protect the child from these harmful things.

I strongly believe a serial killer is raised to be that way. It's not something you can be born with, but a concept that you somehow pick up and adapt to when you commit a crime. So much of our world around us we are influenced by, whether it be our family and their beliefs, or friends and even strangers on the street. To be willing to kill another person is not something you are just born into. There is some motive and some ultimatum that influenced you along the way, and it somehow impacted your life to have committed the crime.
I believe that crime is learned. Obviously a serial killer has to learn how to commit a good crime, because then they would have gotten caught the first time, and wouldn't be considered a serial killer. I think it depends on a person's upbringing outside of the womb, and not in the womb.
