What lies inside the mind of a criminal?

so whatever their needs are it must be responded to ASAP to prevent further problem. and if ever they will be given the chance to be free and start a new life, we must create a caring and supportive environment in order to help them sustain CHANGE...change to become a better person!

You are right change! but come to think it, change is next to impossible specially nowadays T_T. Good Discussion my friend!

You are right! They are not born to be killers dear, some of them is also a victim of the past that is why they committed such unimaginable things, and the most pitiful of them are those people who kill but don't even know what they have done. This are the kind of people who are a victim of psychological illnesses, but the question is this, how will they have such illness? Maybe it is because of their parents?! Environment?! and etc. We admit it or not! Sometimes, parents are the contributors of this terrorizing and scary beings. Yes it is true if they are sane they are good, but if not, they are not only bad but evil.

Yes, but so is Tammy. It was her 16th birthday that day. She would be 44 now, like her twin brother. I can't stop asking, why Tammy? I can't stop asking why I didn't drive faster -- she was waiting for me to pick her up from school when he snatched her. I taught at another school nearby, and we both got out at the same time - only 2:30 in the afternoon! Sorry. I didn't mean to push that on anyone. I'll be haunted by this forever!

O! That was terrible, i see the case now, the killer is a Psychopath, o well i know it is really hard to forget. And seems hard to give you a counseling also for that matter. It is traumatic, anyway learn to forget, just think that she is happy right now, wherever she may be. You cannot blame your self for that kind of terror, it's not you who killed your child it's him. Ok think of it this way, what if you where there, what will you do? I know you will fight, but do you think you can handle him? Psychopath Serial Killers are very professional killers and very strong ones, even police officer will have a difficult time fighting that kind of insane person. What if there is also something bad happens to you that time? What will happen to your other child right now? Do you think he will be in a good place right now if you will also die from that incident? Things happen for a reason, what ever that reason maybe, we didn't know, but try not to punish your self from what happened in the past. You cannot control the situation, neither anyone else. Try not to be too harsh to your self my friend. And if you want to remember her, do remember the good things and happy moments not that terrorizing past. It's over. What do you think is the best thing to do right now? What do you think will make her happy? You know, what do you think your daughter will feel is she saw you being like that. I am sure she will not be happy. Uhm.. o well... i never intended to counsel you this way.. Just want to say that peoples lives are only short, and we have to enjoy it. There are also people that still in your surroundings that are willing to receive your love as mother. And also do remember that all of us people will die sooner or later we just do not know when and how, maybe for her it is the way. I do not want to make you feel upset right now, i just want you to feel a little bit good even just for now.

Oh is there really a show like that? What channel is that? What country are you from? Do you think it's available to our country?

Yes you are right, but how bout those killer maniacs, the psychopaths, serial killers.

I think it has something to do on how they were raised. But how they tick, I really don't know

ya this is really interesting .....i have actually encountered one ...he was a smuggler.........after meeting him i felt that he is none less than we are ......actually these people have very interesting habbits and reallly good sense of humour many times except those serious killers ....this guys was really good and i liked his company a lot ..we were travelling in train and he was next to me ......i can tell u that i had a great time .... he told me so many things that i could not have thaught of .... u need to be smart to become one of tem ...but i am not smart enough hehe one thing was that i was really impressed with his card playing secrets ....he didnt lose any match in black jack

Maybe he uses a technique called hypnotism.

Wow nice response, hehehehe, we do really do not know what is on their mind, if only someone here can share with us, you know... a one who really encountered a criminal face to face... or even interview a criminal.. or something like that. or a person who study the lives or minds of criminals... Cause this kind of topic is kinda really interesting, not only because it is my topic but also because of it is a mystery.

Very well explained and nicely done my friend! Nicely done! Two thumbs up!

You are also right! That is much difficult to answer because they are so mysterious. Sometimes it is OK for them to die in execution than to tell the truth about what is on their mind while doing such cruel things. Two thumbs up again my friend! Hahaha! I told your always at my posts. Hahahaha! Thank you so much!

Yes because good still will prevail at the very end.

You are right! Look can be deceiving! Even the most beautiful men or women can be a worst nightmare if we people will not be sensitive on what's around us.

You are right, the one who is silent, intelligent and deceiving is the one who is deadliest. As according to my studies they are the one who are very intelligent, and they think therefore they are dangerous.

ow that was really suspicious.

He said criminal not serial killer, and not blue collar scam artist, also the term criminal usually sums up petty crimes like robbery, which is my own experience with criminals so thats why I answered it like that.

I disagree. This is a generalization and a misrepresentation. It is an illusion. Ted Bundy was a law student. So was Bernard Madoff. So was Ferdinand Marcos. They were the great minds and they lived a lives of crime. Yes there are people of your description within the ranks of the criminals but they do not represent all of them. They merely are just the ones who get caught.

Hey how are you two? I think the topic is getting a little hotter with you both. Anyway when we speak of criminals, we mean all of the people who do bad things, cruel things and unimaginable things. Like Rape, Robbery, Swindling, Serial Killing and etc. But.. You are also right... They are the product of the environment. People are not bad when they were born, it was the environment where they lived in makes them to be like that, maybe because of their parents? Media? We didn't know, but of course this so called environment reason is most likely not acceptable, cause what if they are already grown up? They know how to think... They can choose between good and evil, they can choose whether to satisfy themselves form their hunger of lust, greed, pride, power, money and even blood. Anyway both of you have a point i cannot really argue with that. Both of you have nice responses and both of you have a different kind of thinking and so do i. All i can say is... Thank you so much for the time that you gave to my discussions, i hope to see you both to my future discussions.

You are right tow types of criminal Criminal for needs and wants! A criminal of needs only kill because of it is their need. They need to do it cause of having no choice, they kill for someone they love. But still not acceptable by the society. A criminal of wants kills, because of their hunger for blood, their hunger to kill! Their passion to kill! Their lust and greed to kill. They just want it that's all, nothing less, cause they feel that if they kill someone they are being satisfied. Then after wards there they go again. No stopping, killing spree. Until they die, or get executed.

Hahaha it's alright you share, maybe just pick the words... Anyway thank you so much for the concern and response.. You are right at your response on the previous post! The one that are stated are the few, but not the most evil of them.
