THOUGHTS OF A MURDERER
Another perspective that I researched was the psychological one. This perspective delves into the psychological components that make up the mind of a serial killer. One of these psychological components is sexual sadism. Sexual sadism is the act of deriving pleasure through the physical, emotional, and physiological pain of others that they cause. This leads to an assortment of crimes that are specific to this type of killer including rape, strangulation, and bondage. The second of these components is psychopathic tendencies. These tendencies include, but are not exclusive to inability to read emotions and social cues, complete disregard for other people, as well as the lack of conscience.
