Best Answer

Serial killers tend to be white, heterosexual males in their twenties and thirties who are sexually dysfunctional and have low self-esteem. Their methodical rampages are almost always sexual in nature. Their killings are usually part of an elaborate fantasy that builds to a climax at the moment of their murderous outburst. Serial killers generally murder strangers with cooling off periods between each crime. Many enjoy cannibalism, necrophilia and keep trophy-like body parts as mementos of their work. Serial killers are sadistic in nature. Some return to crime scenes or grave sites of their victims to fantasize about their deeds. Many like to insert themselves in the investigation of their crimes and some enjoy taunting authorities with letters or carefully placed pieces of evidence.

Serial killers tend to prey on women and children of their same race. Prostitutes, drifters and hitchhikers are their victims of choice. Some homosexual killers enjoy hunting young boys and gay men. Female serial killers tend to be "black widows" who kill a succession of husbands, lovers, or other family members. They can also be nurses or other medical professionals who become self-appointed "angels of death" murdering babies, elderly, or the desperately ill in a misguided effort to relieve their suffering. Most serial killers grew up in violent households. As youngsters they enjoyed torturing animals, setting fires and were chronic bed-wetters. As adults, many serial have some type of brain damage and are addicted to alcohol and/or drugs.

I would say Dahmer fits the classical and neoclassical theories. These are defined to be free will theories and done because he simply wanted to exercise his free will. There are other possibilities as what various theoretical schools oc crime causation that would explain why Dahmer commited so many murders. Just a few causations would be found under biological, psychobiological, psychological, sociological. Each of these causes of crimes have their own distinct differences and the information can be obtained easily. I believe Dahmer fits most likely all of them. I do not know that much about what and why he did what he did, but reading about serial killers for a project I am doing right now, Dahmer fits into these categories. I hope this helps

Was Ted Bundy a lawyer?

As a law school drop-out Bundy refused the first rule of the Bar. Never represent yourself. Bundy had such a huge opinion of himself that he felt nobody could represent him like hecould. He was wrong. Although the court appointed attorneys to help Bundy with his defence, Bundy did the bulk of lawyering himself. And look at the result.Bundy's only known victim to escape appeared as a witness for the prosecution. Carol LaRoche was cross-examined by Bundy himself, as is routine in a trial. She had to look into the face of the man that had tried to murder her and answer his questions. Experts felt this was just another way for Bundy to victimize LaRoche and they were right. But she remained poised and held it together and her testimony was very damaging to Bundy's case. He should have let one of his assistant attorneys question LaRoche but this was Bundy's show and he called the shots.
