Unbelievably, three out of four serial killers live in the United States and the majority of those can be found in California. These brutal criminals do not look any different than the average citizen and because of that people want to know what goes on in serial killer minds. The facts show that these killers will not stop until they are apprehended and incarcerated or killed themselves.
The killers are sorted into four types. The first type of motivation is called the visionary. They report acting on instructions from another source. The source is usually a figure of authority such as God or the devil. Other authority figures can also be cited as the cause of their actions. It is not uncommon to hear of a father or mother as the origin of the voices they hear.
Those who are on a mission are said to feel as though they are cleaning up the community by killing specific types of people. They have deemed these people to be unworthy and in need of removal from society. The killer can focus on any type of group or individual whether it is street people, religious sects or social organizations.
The hedonistic killers simply enjoy inflicting pain on other living beings. People are seen only as a means to derive pleasure for themselves. This group is divided into three sub-types: lust, thrill and comfort.
Sexual gratification is the goal of the lust driven subject. He derives sexual pleasure from inflicting enormous amounts of pain through torture and eventual death of his victims. Because it is so exciting to this type of murderer they will generally use a weapon that allows them to be up close and personal. A knife, garrote or their hands is preferred. They become more violent as time passes and the needed stimulus increases.
Thrill killers do just as the name implies. They killing for the thrill of watching someone die. They have been known to say the feeling they get is actually better than having sex with a woman. They think they are superior to the police because they do not get caught and will wait long periods of time between murders. Some have said they wanted to contrive the perfect crime and never get caught.
Money and security drive the comfort killers. They prey on their families to gain money and property. The weapon of choice here is usually a poison like arsenic. Some comfort killers have been known to substitute boarders or people they have been hired to care for in order to ensure their personal security.
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.
