After reading Empire of Death and the Plague of
Civic Violence, I have become more aware of the different types
of murders there are in society. It is quite frightening to here that people
out there would kill other for their own pleasure, even though there might be a
psychological reasoning to the crimes they are committing. What is surprising
to me is that I did not know there were so much mass murders in history. I have
heard of serial killers like Charles Manson and Ted Bundy, but not others like
Robert Ressler and Charles Whitman. I truly believe that there should be a
course in the university system that teaches students about the history of mass
murders and serial killers in the world and the psychological reason behind
them. This will help keep students informed about the history of violence in
the United States. It is really sad to read that a lot of these serial killers
are men from the United States army. The United States need to help invest
their time and money on helping United States veterans on combating their post traumatic
disorders. The war in Vietnam played a major role in the race murder acts in
Vietnam. A lot of murders were targeting "yellow" victims because of
the experiences they have endured during the war. Let's hope in the future that
science can help individuals with psychotic behaviors, so we will not have more
killings in our home.
Question: What are some similarities
in the brain anatomy of the majority of serial killers?
