Not all serial killers are bad people. Studies have shown that cases that some serial killers are just mentally unstable. Instead of putting most serial killers locked away behind bars, they should be sent to a mental institution. It has been shown that some people who has been convicted of being a serial killers has been put into a mental institution and the mind of that person was rehabilitated and better. Instead of just locking them away in a cell, they should get the help they need. One could say that some serial killers can be compared to toddlers. Others may disagree for many reasons. In reality, they are just like them but the only found difference would be is that a toddler did not kill anyone. One way that the two are similar would be is that …show more content…
A toddler for example. A parent is a a grocery store with their child and that child keeps touching the merchandise on the wall and that parent tells their child to stop. That child is going to throw a fit because they do not want to sit still and stop touching things. So that particular toddler will keep touching the items on the wall until the mom and or dad gets tired of telling them to stop. In that case, the toddler kept touching the items to get what they wanted which was to keep touching the merchandise which they had no business doing in the first place. A serial killer for example. A serial killer is plotting out to kill their neighbor. So in order to do so, they go to the grocery store to buy items in order to commit that murder. At the checkout desk, the worker thinks that the killer is up to something and does not sell the items to the killer. The killer argues and makes a big scene/deal about it until the manager comes up and decides to sell the killer the items just to get them out of the store. In that case, the serial killer got their way and did whatever it took to get what they
Trying to compare something that has nothing in common, it is not easy. Surprisingly, the end product can show you unique similarities. For example, the classic book called “The Most Dangerous Game” is about a man who loves to hunt, meets a another man who shares the same interest. Later on, Sanger Rainsford finds out the other man known as, General Zaroff, loves to hunt humans as a game, and Rainsford realizes he is next to be hunted. Another classic movie called High Noon is a western film about a marshal named Will Kane who is trying to save his town from Frank Mitchell and his gang, who are after him.

The Atlanta child murders began on July 28, 1979, when a woman came across two bodies hidden under some bushes by the side of the road. Both bodies were black male children and one body was of a 14 year old that was reported missing a week before and shot with a .22-caliber weapon. The other body was that of a 13-year-old that was also reported missing three days before and was murdered by asphyxiation. These 2 murders would mark the start of a string of murders and it would continue lasting 22 months. In the end of 1979 2 more child victims were found that had also been strangled.
Throughout history there have been many cases in which defiant people commit horrendous acts that one cannot even fathom. Often times if these individuals perform acts in violation of moral laws and regulations, they are subject to confinement in a jail or prison. Of these non-obedient individuals are those who are known as serial killers, who murder innocent lives, due to their desire to receive relief. A famous example of a devious serial killer who raped, tortured, and fed the remnants of human flesh to his captives was Gary Heidnik. Like most criminals, his story is revolved around the achievement of a particular goal, which in his case was to create a ‘baby factory’ from the women he kidnapped.
The killer was sentenced to the Death Penalty. In a way they both confessed and brought to justice to the murders one directly and the other a little more
For example, a lot of Jeffrey Dahmer's actions are similar to those of notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Dahmer and Gacy had similar childhoods in the way that they didn't have role model father figures and they were not nurtured or taught moral values. Dahmer and Gacy felt a need to have power over men because of the lack of power they felt in childhood at the hands of men. Jeffrey Dahmer was neglected as a child and he didn't feel like he had the power to make his father stay. Causing him to have deep issues with men leaving him and him craving an emotional connection.
Killing people is a horrible thing to do, even if they did thoughtlessly murder a whole family in the middle of the night. It makes you just as bad as a killer then they
Because of the nature of the crime and story, itself it has been ruled a homicide (willful killing of one human being by another). The one criminological theory I thought most that would fit this story would be, rational choice theory. This theory rules out such factors as biological, psychological or environmental factors that might compel someone to commit a crime. Instead, it asserts that criminals make a choice to commit a crime after weighing the costs. They also will consider the benefit of not committing the crime, but ultimately determine that the rewards of the crime are greater than the benefit of not committing the crime.
Perhaps a practical yet moral solution would be the key to solving this issue. An example would be to give the convict a lifelong sentence in a maximum security prison. Instead of releasing the convict after twenty to fifty years, they will stay there for the rest of their lives. With this solution, the convict will not be integrated back into the society, thus decreasing the number of reoffending convicts. But even with this solution, there will be a number of murderers that will arise from our society.
At the same time I believe some are just lying about feeling bad because they just want people to see they changed and to be released from prison. Most serial killers are manipulative so they would be able to use that to their advantage to make people believe that they have changed for the better. From some articles that I have read it explains how most killers that are released because of their so called change of heart go back to killing again after. It is possible for people to change and become a better person but a majority of killers are evil for the rest of their lives. Its not that people can’t change but it will be harder for society to accept them as a different person from evil to good
As if we needed any other reason to keep these serial killers in a prison, serial killers tend to have no regard for the rights of others. Above all, our society today, even though it has major ups and downs, has a common level of respect for others. Our society acknowledges our basic human rights. When it comes to serial killers, they do not have any regard to other people’s rights, hence why they are imprisoned. For example, when serial killers select their victims, they often times dehumanize them.
(the kid killer) Eric smith is a well know kid killer in the east.

Especially if they knew what they were doing, and what they were going to do beforehand. Even people of the town were in utter shock of what had happened. The people need to feel some sense of protection as I said earlier. "I feel that due to the violence of the crime and the apparent utter lack of mercy shown the victims,the only way the public can be absolutely protected is to have the death penalty set against these defendants (Capote 164) .
It seems the closest that anyone has gotten to catching the Long Island Serial Killer may be a phone call. Little is known about whoever is responsible for the 10-plus bodies uncovered in recent years on Gilgo Beach in Long Island, New York. No suspects have ever been identified.

Even though some people may be sadistic by nature, they do have a heart. In that heart there may be a few strays of light left. We should save criminals instead of vanishing them from the face of the
