research questions/knowledge
I already have some previous knowledge about my research topic. We learned about criminal's minds in psychology class and I have watched many shows dealing with the issue. I know that serial killers, have many mental issues. They are usually quiet, smart, and have few friends. Some things I have seen indicate that their childhoods may have been rocky but not necessarily all of them. Their mental issues are not usually limited to simple depression but they are disorders along the line of bipolar and things of that nature. I would still like to know if their behavior is linked with their past, by looking at different people's childhood and surrounding factors. I would still like to know why they commit crimes. Is it their mental psychosis or are they pure evil?

Serial killers and crimes also interest me. I couldn't even begin to comprehend what goes on in their crazy minds. I definitely believe that most of them have expereinced some type of cruel childhood, but I also think there brain just works in some other messed up way.
ReplyDeleteBeing a Criminal Justice major, I am too interested in serial killers and what causes them to commit the crimes they commit. Starting with their past is a great start. However, you should also take a second to think about maybe how the Punitive System of Criminal Justice can influence people to stay in the system.
