How are serial killers made? Perhaps if someone could answer this question, then the police and the community would be able to prevent people from killing in the first place. As it is, this question remains unanswered, though many different hypotheses are put forward by the experts.Until a method for preventing crimes before they are committed is developed, then all the authorities can do is be reactive in the case of serial killers.

Being a concerned citizen, though, is certainly a weapon we can all employ in the fight against serial killers.In this audiobook, you will discover seven killers who stopped at nothing to feel invincible. From those who had problems in their childhood to those who had a loving parent; from those who had a certain incident set them off to those who did it to see if they could get away with it - not all serial killers can be pigeonholed for law enforcement officials, unfortunately.
