Is it just me that has a morbid fascination of them, not in a sense of I want to follow in their footsteps but just in a way of a psychology point of view what led them to commit such horrific acts....

Because a lot of them are psychopathic or have mental health issues.

Not just you. I'm interested in serial killers, psychopaths and gang mentality - football hooligans and the like.

I'm 'lucky' enough to come across two of the above types of people in my work and I love talking to them.

Yes, I must admit they fascinate me too. My mother is interested in all that kind of stuff so I grew up surrounded by it. I'm a bit of an armchair expert on serial killers. Maybe not the best thing to admit to as a single guy on here.

I am fascinated by this stuff. Forensics, serial killers, crime.

I can't get my head around how people can do such evil things but I do love watching documentaries on the subject.

Never saw the fascination. You get a lot of serial killer worship in Metal. Charles Manson and Dharmer for some reason being the poster boys. Why do people respect what they did?

Yes I am. Also with high school massacres and kids who have commited horrific crimes. There's nothing wrong with it. Us "normal" humans can't really put ourselve's into the mindset of a serial killer so there's nothing wrong with reading into it to try and understand them. On a side note, Dexter is easily my favourite TV show

Have a look for this book on Amazon,

it's called "Whoever fights Monsters" by Robert Ressler "Face-to-face with some of America's most terrifying killers, FBI veteran and ex-Army CID colonel Robert Ressler learned form then how to identify the unknown monsters who walk among us--and put them behind bars" he coined the term serial killer and even joined the search for the yorkshire ripper. i highly recommend it.

Serial Killers interest me much less than those who've committed lesser crimes and might be psychologically shifted.

Interestingly, "lifers", including many who have committed the most horrific crimes, are often seen as the sanest inmates in the Criminal Justice System.

There's thousands of serial killers walking around free as a bird as they have committed their crimes and covered their tracks well.

Chances are at some stage in our lives we will have probably come in contact with one.

Judging by the amount of documentaries about them you're not alone!

Was morbidly fascinated the first time I saw 'The Killing Of America' as documentaries like that weren't commonly watched before we all had the net n youtube.

Can't remember the guys name but do remember that he was in court on TV when he came out with one of the creepiest things I heard from that doc.....

Lawyer..."Why did you touch her on the breast with the pliers?"

Serial killer...as cold and dead pan as can be..."To shock her with the cold metal"

I've met murderers (not serial killers, as they tend not to come through my line of work!), psychopaths and recently a lot of gang members. You are right, they can be very personable people, take you right in. When I was a bit green at my current role, I'd find it really difficult to marry what their crime was to the person sat in front of me. Now I'm a bit more jaded about it all.

I am fascinated. Recently watched See No Evil. Film about the moors murders. Excellent,and from what I've researched an accurate adaption.

Ian Brady intrigues me. Hindley less so. She was just an evil witch. His mimic.

Psychopath Brady was the master mind.

My theory is their relationship was not the catalyst. I think he had murdered before, and saw her as malleable. Manipulated her into being his advocate through her infatuation.

Its not an excuse for her. She was as evil and as twisted as he was. She could of stopped him long before David Smith did.

Very clever and evil guy,murdered his grandparents when he was 15 and served only 5 years after convincing psychiatrists he was rehabilitated!

The second guy is equally evil and there is a lot more information about him and his crimes,they even made a recent Hollywood film about him.

Even so I got his name wrong in my earlier post! It's Kuklinski.......not Kaplinski.

How are football hooligans interesting? It's just a bunch of simples and unemployed trying to find a reason to fight. If they wanted to fight they could box or do mma.

Serial killers are interesting because the psychology behind it.

Football hooligans tend to be men stuck in dead end jobs with nothing to dedicate there lives to out of work, hence the fighting.

I remember 2 Man Utd so called hooligans kicking off with me because I dared to wear my rugby top in a pub with football on. Let's just say they didn't do it again.

Serial killers do fascinate me though

So you get drawn into gang mentality and maybe punch someone at a football match you are simple scum with nothing to live for but kill a few people and you are a poor damaged soul with a fascinating psychological backstory?

Doesn't quite work like that.

Absolutely - anyone who gets drawn into a gang mentality and punches someone because of it is a complete idiot.

There's lots of children and families at football matches - it's pathetic behaviour over a GAME! It's not interesting it's very sad and uncalled for.

Its not psychotic it's called being a useless good for nothing wanker! That needs to get a grip and grow up.

If you can't see the difference in the two then it's worrying!

most murders are committed by people who are not criminals, have never committed a crime in their life. The murder will usually be their only crime.serial killers and psychopaths of which i include psychiatrists, psychologists and criminologists are a different kettle of fish.The professionals in there are the least interesting of the bunch.

i have an unhealthy amount of books an serial killers...one discusses the demographics,of the people who buy books etc...and suggests its because serial killers are the modern day equivalent of the 'bogeymen'...faceless, seemingly motiveless, and as they are something you cannot protect yourself from, almost otherworldly...it sounded very convincing to me...

3 hollywood movies were made about them.

"tucker please pick up because...cos I think you might be dead."

the ironic thing and the thing that made it so difficult for police is that everyoneand any one who wanted him dead was heading or in the near vicinity of Retendon.

The owner of Sugerhut was also linked his alliby was that he was in Rettendon planing to hijake a lorry.
