Hi
Just read your comments on serial killers and whether it is nature or nurture that make them act in the way they have. I am very much interested in this area, also adding in child killers like thomson and venables (James Bulger's murderers). It is such a wide and indepth topic, that i personally think like much of everything that happens within societys we need both.
along with this i have been focusing on Dr Stones 22 point system of which he places killers serial killers among.. i have been trying to define why some people class the murderers of James Bulger as serialkillers, as they murdered once. Is it down to the depravity of the crime.. Anyway thankyou for providing such interesting reading material, and if anyone wants to try and reason on the above i would be interested in hearing your views. thanks.
