The Four Motivations Of Serial Killer Minds

By Marissa Velazquez


Few people know that serial killers are almost entirely an American phenomenon or that most of them are located in California. They do know that these killers will not stop killing on their own and must be captured or killed to stop the bloodshed. To try to alleviate the natural fear they have many want to explore what is in serial killer minds and what makes them the way they are.

Nobody really knows what is in the mind of anyone else but the FBI has classified these killers into four distinct groups. The visionary has audio hallucinations of some higher authority telling him to kill specific people. The voices are usually godly or demonic in origin and can come from inside or outside of the subjects head.

Individuals who select specific segments of the population to be removed are considered to be mission oriented. They tell authorities when captured that they are ridding communities of unwanted rubbish. These victims may be street people, gays, ethnic groups, or liberated women. The reason for the mission is clear to only the one who is doing the killing.

A hedonistic killer enjoys the pain and fear he generates in his victims. This is most likely why the kid who tortures animals begins what can be a brutal lifestyle. Hedonistic killers are separated into three distinct groups. They are lust, thrill and comfort killers.

Lust is driven by sexual gratification. They get sexual gratification out of their torture and control of the victims. Making sure that their victim is totally under their control helps to alleviate the feelings of powerlessness they experience now or in their past. Most of these kills are done with close contact weapons such as knives or the hands. As time passes the necessary amount of stimulation increases and the cool down between kills becomes shorter.

Thrill killers appear to be driven by the adrenalin rush they get from watching someone die at their hands. The pain suffered by their victims increases their pleasure and they can be random people who are killed. These individuals can wait for long periods between killings and sometimes use the time refining their technique in an attempt to avoid attracting attention from the police.

Comfort killers will kill to ensure their own financial security. The most common victims are family members who are well off or who have an estate that is desirable. After a kill they will wait until the rest of the family has relaxed before they strike again. Poison is usually the chosen weapon for comfort killers. They will also kill for government checks that family or friends receive each month.

Media killers are those who choose to lay the blame for their behaviors at society's feet. They claim that they were led astray by watching the violence in movies or on television. Some also blame violent pornographic material that is so available for what they have done. Serial killer minds are fertile areas for blame once they have been captured. Studying them can give some of the answers people seek but the experts must rely on the information to be true and correct. The real question would be why their brothers and sisters, who were brought up in the same atmosphere are not also killers.
