Serial Killers (2 Viewers)

[babyslug]

I really have a fascination when it comes to Serial killers. Back in highschool i did two major projects on them. I just finished a book called Sole Survivor: Children that Murder their Families. And Cannibal Killers.

My mum's afraid of me.

Lol,

At one stage of my life, I think I wanted to be an assassin.

I am with you, I have a fascination when it comes to Serial killers. I read alot on them.

 

[babyslug]

my favourite serial killers would be...jeff dahmer, the zodiac killer, and..maybe edmund kemper?
how about yourself?

ur doing BoSoSc Criminology - UWS, Bankstown? wow cool! i was also considering Social Science (Criminology) at UNSW. Well, at least after spending a year studying crime for Ext 1 English.

Anyhows, read up on "The Bone Collector" by Jeffrey Deaver, I think you'd enjoy it mightily.

Hehe, I used to be fixated on serial killers as well. I used to watch the Scream movies and think 'If I were them, I would have killed her like this...'

How disturbing..

I own the whole Jeff Deaver collection! I'm also going through Minette Walters at the moment aswell. Yeah, i am doing BoSoSc in Criminology at UWS. I also tried for UNSW, but it went up to 88 this year, so no chance. i'm happy at UWS i think, because the program is more flexible, and not as rigid as the UNSW program (so it seems). I did Crime fiction for 3UE back in highschool aswell I actually did Bone Collector as one of my texts for the HSC. If i were to recommend a crime fic' book...i would recommend...hmm, i dunno. I really like Patricia Cornwell's 'The Body Farm'

jeffrey deaver is the best!!!
i also like 'the empty chair'...chilling stuff

so babyslug, are you more interested in the complex psychologies of the serial killers or the investigative processes used to bring them to justice?

 

[babyslug]

In terms of books? I actually prefer reading books by the 'Psycho Killer' Authors, rather than 'Psychological thriller' Authors.
At uni i plan on doing crim as my major, and psychology as my submajor - i think i'm mostly fascinated by the psychology behind the serial killings. But the investigative processes are also heaps cool I wanna do forensic sciences in my first year, but i didn't do sciences in highschool, hec i didn't even do maths. We'll see how it goes...

empty chair is one of my fav from deaver.....read it mani times...

[glycerine]

i hope you all frequent crime library then

my grandfather was one of the police officers involved in the 'mutilator' case...

 

[Misturi]

l'm more into "mysteries of the universe" but serial killers do fanstinate me.

 

[babyslug]

No i'm mainly fascinated by the psychology *behind* the serial killings. However at some stage in my life i did have post mortem pictures of the 'ripper victims' on my bedroom walls.

OOH! I frequent crimelibrary all the time! It's a good read.
What in this thread has been disturbing, chelloveck?

 

[Misturi]

l'm more into the aliens and self combustion and murders.

Also UFO's and Ape Men

 

[babyslug]

haha, i used to think that the US was one of the good forces in the world

 

[Rwep]

Jeffry Dahmer springs to mind of course...

Son Of Sam was pretty interesting, creative too.

Others... uh Monster of Andres, Ted Bundy...

I wouldn't say any are my 'favourite' o_^. Just interesting.

[babyslug]

I'll have to check it out. I found pictures of jeff dahmer's VICTIMS. That was pretty scary - however i included it into my multimedia major project during my HSC year. Haha...that was probably crossing the line a bit. But man...they were just like..torsos and meat, and dog heads impaled on sticks and stuff...It made me irk a bit.
