LITERATURE REVIEW/ THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK OF SERIAL KILLERS
Murder has been a dark existence in the community for a very long time. Researchers have s examined homicide to distinguish its causes. The focal topic of examining homicide is motive. A question that is often asked is whether serial murders are born or made. On the off chance that we can answer this inquiry, we can recognize trends amongst criminals. Understanding why individuals get to be serial killers may be the way to prevention. This seems, by all accounts, to be a suitable approach as it might permit important experts to distinguish people prone to commit these crimes. Forensic science is essential in sentencing the criminal; however different measures must be utilized to …show more content…
Firstly, it should first investigate chromosomal irregularities, particularly the state of having an additional Y chromosome (XYY), and connecting this with criminal behavior. Another explanation is head injury it is talked about as far as whether it can bring about forceful and vicious activities. The, biochemical views are investigated, considering whether an imbalance in hormones, glucose or serotonin can have an impact upon our violent and hostile disposition (Heydari et al., 2008). Biologist argue; 'criminal behavior is the result of inner factors to the physical body of the individual that make that individual prone to crime (Heydari et al., 2008). It is our biological processes that this perspective is concerned with, and the degree to which they have an impact on our behavior. Criminals do not have control over their hostile and violent behaviors as they are of a nature that behaves in such a way. For instance, people with biochemical imbalances nature can not control this, nor the impact these uneven biochemical have on their …show more content…

The theory states its emphasis is on the role of chromosomes on the decision of criminal behavior. Psychoanalytic theory states that criminal behavior is a result of inner conflict, emotional problems, unconscious feeling of insecurity, inadequacy and inferiority. Though, psychology often looks at people in their relationship with other people. This is exhibited in the attachment theory, whereby development of children is based on its early interaction with its parents or guardians (Keppel ＆ Birnes, 2003). Psychological disorders, for example, depression, stress, and mental health issues generally, can usually result in hostile attitudes (Whitman ＆ Akutagawa, 2004).
