In addition a recurring theme in motivation for serial killers ties into other categories but happens often enough to have it own category. Many killer blame women for their violent impulses whether creating arbitrary categories in which there is a separation of “good women” and “bad women” the second category usually involving those they feel justified in torturing and killing.
