tinfoilhat Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Technically a serial killer is a person who kills three or more people with a 'cooling off' period between murders. That's how I understood it - mass murder is you kill 3 or more at the same time. Hitmen / gangsters seem to be separate of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinz Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 How are we defining a serial killer ? The following is a few snips from "A mind to crime". "Genetic theory has advanced in sophistication, and we now know that environmental factors can interact with the genes, as it were switching their messages on or off. So you can inherit a predisposition to crime-but you will not necessarily be a criminal. . Without that predisposition, you are less likely to take up a criminal career, whatever the environmental temptations. There is no 'gene for crime' (except one-the gene that makes us male) but a whole array of genetic influences. What's more, there seem to be genes that predispose some to non-violent property crime, and genes that predispose others to violent behavior." . "What has become startlingly clear is that there are explanations for 'bad' or 'immoral' behavior which may stem from abnormalities in the brain's structure or chemistry." . "The latest research suggests that in the brains of aggressive psychopaths the area that creates feelings, and hence our ability intellectually to comprehend guilt, shame, and remorse, is disconnected from the more 'thoughtful' frontal lobes. The thinking g part of the brain is not being informed by the emotional part, so it lacks the necessary moral education." . "Faced with gargantuan costs, public and political panic at crime, and the proven failure of virtually all strategies to curb it, one would expect governments to clutch at even the least plausible straw that promised some sort of solution. Yet solid, scie entific evidence, clinically assessed and reported in textbooks and periodicals of unimpeachable authority, goes disregarded." . "Vandalism isn't mindless-it's the consequence of minds hungry for sensation." . "Evil may be something no more sinister than a matter of loose connections. The devil may be the term for an accumulation of cerebral wounds." . "Criminals may know-intellectually-the difference between right and wrong, but if that knowledge is not accompanied by the necessary feelings and experience, they do not, and in a sense cannot, care." . "The outstanding characteristic of psychopaths is a total lack of guilt or remorse. They can do the most terrible things without feeling a pang of remorse. They have no constraints-nothing that the rest of us would call conscience." . "We have the means to study tell-tale neurophysical patterns which can help to identify people predisposed by genes, or brain damage, to become chronic offenders-those with an abnormally unresponsive autonomic system, slow brain wave activity, neuro-psych hological deficits, biochemical abnormalities and a number of behavioral signs of impulsivity and poor school performance. Should we be using this knowledge to help them?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love_rat Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 First of all we need to break this down, we then need to take the debate to another level. What is the question? its this What is a Paedo? is it a man who is walking around the swimming baths wearing speados, where the "s" has accidently fallen off his trunks? No clearly not. Before we can ask the question, we need to understand "what is a peado?" Whenever there is a campain to "lower that age of sexual consent for gay sex" the people on the march are generally middle aged gay men. Does that mean they are paedos? On these marches you never see mothers of 15 year old boys campaining for the lowering of gay sex for their lads. So what is a peado? it is someone who likes to get close to miners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
