Characteristics of a sex-serial murderer:
-over 90% of them are white males.
-their families often have criminal, psychiatric, and alcoholic histories.
-they are commonly abused--psychologically, physically, and sexually--as children. Sometimes, the abuser is a stranger. Sometimes, it is a friend. Often, it is a family member.
-many of them have spent time in institutions as children and have records of early psychiatric problems
-they have a high rate of suicide attempts.
I would like to talk about how these things would affect someone and make them have the mind of a sex-serial murderer.
The fact that 90% of sex-serial murderers are white males, means that privilege has nothing to do with it. Even though they rank high in society with gender and race doesn’t make them any better of people. I think that most killers are white males because of the fact that the abuse and addiction is hidden, no one knows what's happening to them behind closed doors. Therefor when they finally break free of what's happening they take it out in outrageous ways such as rape and murder.
In this story John Crawford is a white male. He is also a sex-serial murderer. Making him fit in with the majority of sex-serial murderers.
Being abused psychologically, physically and sexually, as children would make someone have the tendencies to become a sex-serial murderer because it would affect their mental state and make them not as stable and more vulnerable to violent acts on impulse.
Sex-serial murderers have a high suicide rate probably because the weight of killing another human being is too much for their minds too take, and they can’t stand the guilt. Maybe they are not guilty at all. They just have no compassion for humans and don’t even care about themselves, so they get tired and just die.
These are some things that make up a sex-serial murderer, i beleive these characteristics apply to both John Crawford and Bill Corrigan in this novel.
