In The Eye Of The Killer The United States has one of country's highest murder rates and mass shootings in the entire world. What actions are the government taking,and are they concerned about we the people? I feel that the government needs to take more action on what has been happening because our lives matter and we could be in danger daily. Violent people cause terrible damage to their victims and society, however with warning signs, identification of past behavior, the effects of societal judgment, and the sensationalism of victim damage, leaves us with the questioning reformation and international of violent people.

So what really lies behind the story of mastermind killer? In the article Inside The Mind of the Mass Killer says “criminals are made, not born’.” So why is this happening, what are we as humans doing wrong? Studies prove that all murders are subject to bullying, or are isolated as children. somewhere along the line of their childrenhood they have been neglected and exported for being different. Building them up to be resentful, grudgeful, obsessive, and rigid. They are explosive people that wear their emotions on their sleeves the face problems outside of themselves. They “welcome death” to seek power using it as a weapon to cope with the feeling of being unwanted because of society. In a ransom note in Inside The Mind of the Mass Killer Mark Barton writes, “I don't plan [living] very much longer, just enough to kill as many of the that [greatly] sought my destruction”. Social judgment can be a big part of what makes a murders, although they cause sensational damage to the …show more content…
Not only do they hurt the victims but as while as themselves. When something like a mass shooting or a patient murder happens they leave the tromma behind. We are left with debistation feeling victimized and left with the what if. Victims have a sensitive feeling like that they are the smallest in the world. Exposed to the damage of a human crime. Everyone is exposed to the horror from the victim themselves the family of the victim and of the accusers, and even the society. Is there something we should do to stop this, maybe we should study the behavior of the violent people to prevent its from
There is a collective amount of murderers in society, and have existed throughout history. Each murderer has a backstory, with different reasoning on why they committed their crimes, and what influenced their motives. For some instances it was outside influences, and some cases were of genetic or mental disorders. From extensive research, majority of these influences that created these murderers are by their environment/upbringing.
In the article The Serial Killer Phenomenon Richard Whittington-Egan aims to explain what exactly a serial killer is and how they differ from a mass murderer. Whittington-Egan breaks down and showcases the defining characteristics of a serial kill with the help of numerous cases of evidence to confirm the accuracy of each statement. The article concludes with examining the future of this phenomenon, what has been done, and most importantly how difficult it will be to solve such an unpredictable behavior.
We all have the deep desire to kill, however, some people can hide or suppress this feeling more than others. This is what seeker science tries to unravel. While it’s not a single person to write this, its a team of experienced writers, teachers, and analysts. In the begging of the article, it is stated that “ Serial murderers are distorted reflections of society's own values, according to new research.” (Serial Killers Shaped by Society, Study Claims 2009).
Throughout time many have had a fascination with serial killers and with help from the media they have become celebrities within our culture. There are many books, movies, television shows, and news coverage to introduce viewers to their lives. With all the interest behind serial killers, many wonder how they come to be this violent. The question is often asked, are serial killers born or made?
The question of whether or not man is predetermined at birth to lead a life of crime is a question that has been debated for decades. Are serial killers born with the lust for murder, or are their desires developed through years of abuse and torment? Many believe it is impossible for an innocent child to be born with the capability to commit a horrible act such as murder. But at the same time, how could we have corrupted society so much as to turn an innocent child into a homicidal maniac? Forensic psychologists have picked apart the minds of serial killers to find an answer as to what forces them to commit such perverse acts. Their ultimate goal is to learn how to catch a serial killer before
Mass shootings in the United States is a huge problem that has seemed to become a norm, faced rarely by other developed country. On October 1st, 2017 the most deadliest mass shooting in US history took place, suppressing the Orlando nightclub shooting just over one year earlier. This just like every other mass shooting has gun owners and opposers scrambling on what we should do next to fix this terrible problem.
Admittedly, the amount of mass shootings in America is still going on onto this day, as last week, California had a recent one, carried out by a couple with assault grade weapons. Thus, this topic was brought up countless time on the news, what could be done. I believe pretending is part of the problem. These things happen over and over again and yet we do nothing and pretend it won’t happen again. Changing nothing and then believing something will change is a ludicrous ideology. This same ideology is being used by many Americans, we are given examples of other place throughout the world on how they turn their country gun problem around, similar to Australia, yet we pretend we don’t notice just like we pretend we don't notice our country's
Mass shootings have become a disturbing issue that seems to be on the rise around the world, and no one can predict when one may occur. The FBI defines mass shootings as the killing of four or more victims. There have been a total of 274 days so far this year with a terrifying amount of 294 mass shootings (Ingraham, 2015). Mass shootings cannot be solved, but they can be prevented. This can be done by enacting policies or programs to take better care of people suffering from mental health issues, enacting better gun control laws, and by not allowing violence in entertainment such as video games.
What makes a murderer? The mind of someone who commits such heinous crimes has never really been diagnosed. The chromosomal patterns have yet to be determined. So what causes someone to kill? Are serial killers and mass murderers more of a product of their own upbringing and environment or of delusional thoughts from a chemical imbalance? Someone who kills is an obsessed individual who lacks a conscience and who has no remorse. All the known characteristics of someone who kills point to something beyond our comprehension. Ted Bundy and Charles Manson are both infamous in the world of criminal history. Not all killers are the same: they may have grown up differently, used certain killing methods, and had a unique pool of victims.
As these tragedies are being more publicized by media it is forcing our nations capital to take serious action. Some say by tightening gun laws there
Mass shootings are defined as an incident during which an active shooter shoots three or more people in a single event (Bridges and Leigh). Sadly, these incidents have been on a steady rise in America and little is being done. In the first 164 days of 2016, there was 136 mass killings (Willingham). The main political argument has been dealing with gun control in the United States, but with both sides in disagreement, little has been done. All the victims of mass shooting, like Sandy Hook, Orlando nightclub, or the Colorado movie theater incident did not plan to lose their life; even though mass shootings are a rare act of violence, they have become common in the U.S. Mass shootings are an issue in American society because the disregarding
As stated before mass shootings have increased drastically throughout the decades. Just within 2017, the number of mass shootings are 293 with several deaths and injuries, (“Gun Violence Archive”). Within the last 10 years, the deadliest mass shootings have occurred in America history, (CNN). Recently in Las Vegas, Nevada held a music festival for people to enjoy and listen to music, but a shooting changed the evening for many. A man was in an hotel near the event and shot down towards the people and killed a total of 58 people and injured at least 200, (CNN). The Orlando shooting was right behind it with a total of 49 dead, (CNN). Since this has become a part of our everyday lives, we rarely hear about all the mass shootings that kill not even into the double digits.
Throughout history, serial killers and murderers have received a significant number of news articles dedicated to them and have attracted audiences all around the world; however, the question that nobody can seem to answer is, “Why?” What causes people to grow up with the desire to kill and what can we do to prevent others from becoming serial killers in the future? “All serial killers are murderers, but not all murderers are serial killers,” as stated on The Undergraduate Times. A serial murder is defined by Encyclopedia Britannica as “the unlawful homicide of at least two people, carried out in a series over a period of time,” while mass murder is the
“The serial killer ‘is an entirely different criminal,’ ”The term serial killer is misleading on the ground that each murder is intended to be the last.” We see them as a figure of “the dark side of human potential,” but they believe they’re “on a heroic quest for the biggest score possible” They believe they are “the archetypal figure of impurity, the representative of a world which needs cleansing.” However, society knows that serial killers are not heroes, and they’re not cleansing the world. “The figure of the serial killer is violent impurity personified, and it is a construction that necessitates figures of violent purity to confront it.” While it can be argued whether having mental disorders should prevent a serial killer from being capitally punished, it is proven that many serial killers suffer from “paranoid schizophrenia, manic-depressive psychosis, or psychopathology.” It’s even said that “this crime is actually a form of disease. Its carriers are serial killers who suffer from a variety of crippling and eventually fatal symptoms, and its immediate victims are the people struck down seemingly at random by the disease carriers.” Serial killers usually have a stressor in their life that makes them start killing, and when they do “homicidal mania becomes ‘a necessity… linked to the very existence of a psychiatry which had made itself autonomous but needed thereafter to secure a basis for its intervention by gaining recognition as a component of public
Serial killers are the byproduct of many different things: trauma, death of loved ones, abuse, neglect, adoption, and even witnessing abuse (Are Serial). Serial killers have had to endure a massive amount of something such as trauma or abuse to an unimaginable extent to become what they are; the extent of the abuse, the trauma, the psychological damage they endure is incomprehensible to many. The destruction of one’s innocence can occur at any given time in his or her life, but he or she is more impressionable in his or her youth by the negativism of someone else’s actions (Scott, Shirley L. What Makes Serial Killers Tick ~ Childhood Event). People are susceptible to what they endure in their adolescence, and cruel upbringings, such as
