And so why do some act it out? Well, I can say this. What we do know is that of those who do act out, there’s usually some precipitant, some sort of upsetting event, such as the loss of a relationship, which means a lot to a male, the loss of a job. Men usually get some level of status from a job.
I wonder just how much does an individual need to care about a job/relationship to act out
Now, a lot of people have violent, sexual and nonsexual fantasies, but they don’t act on them. Is there a precipitating factor that drives these people to actually finally act out on what they’ve been fantasizing about?
im curious about this too..
Do serial sexual killers as a rule, desire to become famous even as they need to hide their identity so that they can keep killing? I mean, how much of a motivator is that? Schlesinger: No, that’s been overhyped right from the beginning.
I wonder why this became over hyped
It determines on how they go about doing it.
IMPORTANT
The other type has more what’s often called psychopathic traits, narcissistic traits, and whatever personality they have, it doesn’t disable them from planning.
I'd like to look into narcissism.
But if you look at the peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals in the past 20 years for popularized mental disorders like bipolar disorder, PTSD, eating disorders, those are popularized too. There’s between 60,000 and 75,000 articles on each of those disorders. Do you know how many peer-reviewed published articles there have been, empirical studies now, of serial sexual murder in the past 20 years? No, you don’t. Mills: I don’t. It’s a tiny number. Schlesinger: Yes. 22.
I wonder why it is so small? Are people afriad to touch on this topic? We need more research on this.
I believe many things have to go wrong. For example, I said neurobiological, is it hormonal? Is it chemical? Is it electrical? Is it a combination of those factors plus a head injury, plus trauma and poor parenting? And I think yes—I think the answer is yes.
Research the combination of these factors. I wonder what are the chances one goes through all of these and does not become a serial killer? Or is it inevitable?
Serial sexual murder has been described as far back as the 1800s. As a matter of fact, the first person to describe in a scientific way in terms of case description was a psychiatrist in Germany named Richard von Krafft-Ebing
Remember to research Richard von Krafft-ebing.
fusion of sex and aggression
I wonder why this becomes stimulating to individuals.. what causes this?
mentioned: pedophilia, arousal to children; infantophilia, sexual arousal to preverbal infants; hebephilia, sexual arousal to pubescent adolescents.
I did not realize there was this many kinds of abnormal sexual patterns. Remember these to help in your research later.
there does not have to be intercourse in order for it to be sexual. Why? Because the violence takes the place of it. As a matter of fact, in many, many of these cases, there’s no sexual penetration at all
I find this highly interesting, how these individuals minds can get off from nothing sexual in a sense, I wonder why?
Last summer, police in New York arrested architect Rex Heuermann and charged him with a series of murders that took place on Long Island between 1996 and 2011
Important, also can't believe he was getting away woth ot from 1996-2011.
sexual violence
I find it interesting how many serial killers often commit sexual violence.
