Why do people become serial killers and mass murderers
Introduction
Every now and again the world is shocked by some brutal killings. The killings may be due to serial killers or due to mass murderers.
There are differences between mass murderers and serial killers:
Mass murderers kill a number of people at one time and in one place. Mass murderers usually attack schools; universities and restaurants believing it to be a place for a maximum kill effect. They often die at the scene of the multiple slayings, either through suicide or police action. Only occasionally do they turn themselves into the police after the killings.
Serial killers on the other hand, murder one at a time and go to great lengths to avoid detection and apprehension.
