Do Intelligence Research On Was Psychopaths, Particularly...

Question 1: The group of people that I chose to do intelligence research on was psychopaths, particularly serial killers. I did not focus on any particular subgroup, however there are subtypes of psychopaths such as primary and secondary and among those two subtypes it is further broken down into distempered and charismatic subtypes. In the article Psychopathy: Manipulation, Deception, and Evil, author Pamela Kulbarsh (2012) defines a psychopath as â€Å"a morally depraved individual who represent the ‘monsters’ in our society; an unstoppable and untreatable predator whose violence is planned, purposeful and emotionless† (p.1). While in the article it states that not all psychopaths are law-breakers that is a different story with serial killers†¦show more content†¦One other thing that makes serial killers unique is using their working memory to plan out extensive details in committing a murder. It takes quite a bit of intelligence to plan out a detailed murder and n ame step by step what they will do and what their back up plan will be if something does go wrong. The average person cannot plan out their day step by step very thoroughly much less committing a crime and getting away with it. Genetics do play a part in psychopathic tendencies, but also the environment you grow up in and what you are exposed to plays a role in it as well. For example, Ted Bundy. Crime Feed Staff (2015) discovered many troubling details about the way he grew up. He lived a childhood full of lies. He grew up thinking that his birth mother was his sister and that his grandparents were his parents only later to learn that his sister was actually his mother and that his grandfather was possibly his father making him a product of incest. There were many things that Bundy did as a child that showed his strange attraction to violence (p.1). Bundy was exposed to pornography as a young age and became addicted, he needed to fuel his addiction and his fantasies became so unbearable he turned it into his reality. Dr. Al Carlisle, the psychologist who evaluated Ted Bundy, concluded that â€Å"Because they have painful memories from abuse, disappointment, humiliation, frustration, or being bullied, the y have turned to fantasiesShow MoreRelatedThe Mind of Monsters1390 Words   |  6 Pagesis a fictional serial killer from Showtime’s series â€Å"Dexter†, but the writers and actors have portrayed a real life serial killer.
