"Since - the media accounts of savage and lurid serial killings and their perpetrators have generated exaggerated and distorted accounts of the extent of the threat posed by serial killers and the etiology of their crimes. Serial killers have diverse backgrounds and personal histories, however, most of them are extremely maladjusted to society and are the product of severe psychological trauma dating back to their troubled childhoods which largely account for their bizarre conduct."More papers on Serial Killers:
