My Research on What are people Motives For Killing

post #2

So far my research has been going just as Ive planned. I wanted to know what are people motives for killing? and what drives them to that point. I wanted to get inside of the killers head/mind and try and understand what be going through there minds. Now I might not find out everything I want to know but I'm going to find out most of it.

Now as I went exploring into the inter net world I found out that in 1990 the reasons for murder in the U.S. was 7.1% narcotics, 6.0% other felonies, 10.1 robbery, 16.5 unknown, 22.5% other motives, and 3.7 arguments. Now I figured the 22.5% that was other and the 16.5% unknown came from being abused as a child with alcoholics as parent/s or getting sexually abused as a child. Any type of abuse while growing up not understanding what it was you did wrong to deserve it or thinking it's your fault you grow up real messed up in the head.

Have you ever fantasized about killing someone? If your answer is yes your not alone. A ground breaking study by leading physiological research Buss reveals that 91% of men and 81% women have had at least one vivid fantasy often intense and astonishingly detailed of committing murder though we may like to think that murderers are committed by people normal. The murder next door is, as Buss highlights, the vast majority of murders are committed by people who, until the day they kill, seem perfectly normal. The murderer next door is a riveting lark into the dark underworld of the human mind and why, Buss reveals, thew pressure of evolutionary competition have adapted our mind for murder. Buss takes us on a fascinated journey into the killing mind with gripping stories about specific murder cases, murderer own account of why they killed, and many astonishing quotes from the most massive study of homicidal fantasies ever conducted, with peoples amazingly detailed accounts of the murders they considered committing where as previous theories of murder propose that homicide is something outside of human nature pathology imposed from without by the distorting influences of culture, media images poverty, or child abuse Buss argues that killing is fundamentally in our nature. Our minds have developed to kill.
