      The best cops & detectives are the ones with similar traits to the criminals themselves. I studied criminal psychology in college and wrote my thesis on this subject. The best example I can think of for you to compare is the undercover cops that infiltrate gangs & organized crime. If you’re a regular Joe you are not going to be able to blend in with type A personality biker gang members etc. -no one is that good of an actor. You’d show fear/anxiety etc. and your body would betray you never mind the entire psych aspect.

  • @PalmelaHanderson
    @PalmelaHanderson Год назад +98

    I know there's a criminal justice definition of a "serial killer," but I think there is also an additional colloquial qualification of a serial killer - that a serial killer does not kill for profit or practicality (at least as a primary motive). They kill out of compulsion or desire. The reason I think that qualification is useful is that it distinguishes what most people picture when they hear "serial killer" vs. people like gangsters or hitmen who have killed dozens of people, but only ever killed out of anger, for profit, or to protect themselves (in their own minds). Sammy Gravano confessed to 19 murders as a mafia hitman, but no one would refer to him as a serial killer.
    If you ask 1000 people to describe a serial killer, none of them are going to think of the gangster. They're going to think of the person who kills because of compulsion or desire. Someone who doesn't really gain anything from the crime, they just do it because they like it or feel compelled to do it.

    • @topsuperseven7910
      @topsuperseven7910 8 месяцев назад +12

      Yes but this is also a problem when a distinction is made where there is no difference in criminality. You are speaking like far too many today around 'motive and feelings' as if these matter the most to society or even matter at all. One night a woman is murdered by a man who simply wanted to see he felt anything thrilling and didn't feel a thing. Across town a woman was murdered over a drug debt but not to somehow get the money back but to see if her death struck fearful compliance into other debtors.
      What our society needs to worry about is that either man, both men, they have crossed a line into criminal murder. That they walk around and can and would do such a thing if they so desire.
      and here is something to consider. years ago I was watching one of these reality show 'follow along with cops' shows like '48 hours' or whatever it was.
      - police respond to two dead bodies outside a gas station in a notoriously dangerous neighborhood in a US inner-city. Someone has shot dead a prostitute and a pimp in cold blood and it quickly leads to notorious 'bloodcrip' gang member Tyrone 'Ratchet' Williams.
      Ohhhh he is quite a suspect. Ratchet, 38 has spent 17 of his 20 adult years in and out of prison including kidnapping women, attempted murder of a woman, manslaughter of a woman and wait there's more,
      not only is he officially known to have killed two women but Ratchet is strongly linked to the murder of no less than 5 others in the Bloodcrip drug wars and revenge and gangland world.
      The ONLY reason they caught Ratchet was because witnesses in 'The Hood' started tipping off police (rare very rare) as they said Ratchet had gone so crazy that everyone was terrified of him now. Even the gang was disassociating with him because and he was killing anyone.
      In this case, the reason why he murdered the two? They had 'disrespected him'.
      This was mentioned by several blurred out witnesses and calls that they all knew he'd killed that woman earlier that month because she didn't want him to be her pimp and he didn't like that.
      Ratchet is strongly believed to have killed 15 people over his 38 years of living.
      The episode wraps up with a slam-dunk conviction of 3 murders and ongoing investigations and charges on several more.
      Here's my question:
      Why isn't Ratchet Williams considered a "Serial Killer" like any other?
      Why not?
      What is the difference and more than that, what is the difference to our people, our society, to the public?
      What's the difference to public safety?
      If your answer is just sorting out little twists of his feelings and what psychological motives he wrestled with then that's just not as important as to what they actually do.

      This sounds bad, but I think there should be a distinction made between people who are in the game and those who aren't. If you are heavily involved in the mafia and you get murdered over business, I don't think it should be punished the same as being murdered randomly. Everyone in the game knows the risks and choses to accept them for money.

      @@Cretan1000 why wouldn't tehre be a harsher penalty for those who have a premeditated murder threat and even worse they murder each other for money and business. Why, if anything, isn't that even worse than a random passion driven murder?
      Even worse, they actually think they could supersede murder laws and make their own above-the-law rules in their own separatist justice system? Why not even more penalty for that?
      and all of that only covers the idea of 'punishment and penalty'
      i understand 90% of the internet thinks prisons or death penalty or only for punishments instead of the practical point of not letting them be at large in public spaces but if you're only talking penalty then I don't see why the Mafia mobster isn't, arguably, deserving more of a penalty?

      this is such an insane thing to say because why on earth should it matter that one was paid and one wasn't? The act of taking a life, a fellow human regardless of how justified and/or logical you believe the motive is still an act that profoundly changes a person for the worse. Mafia members despite whatever fantasy you'd like to believe, kill for pleasure, they enjoy it, they enjoy exerting their power and their dominance over someone, they are serial killers, the serial there is important. You wanting there to be a distinction and other people in this thread going...oh my god yes you're in the game so you know the rules all that means is that you have sympathy for one type of victim and not the other. And that's a very very dangerous road to go down, put down the Godfather book, turn off Narcos realise they are all as bad as the other. Sammy Gravano is a serial killer btw he's just not a famous one, or rather he's not famous for being one but i bet the families of the people he killed would describe him the same way Ted Bundy's victims did, merciless, cruel, sadistic and evil.

Might be why he can give some creep vibes, but the strong difference is that he made different choices and knew right from wrong.
      Edit: I wrote this before I got to the part where he talks about his mental health. I'm more convinced now that he's one of those who can understand serial killers and to be able to do that but still have empathy, that must take a heavy toll on anyone. With his bad mental health and the knowledge/stories he got from the worst of the worst - no wonder he talks like the world is resting on his shoulders!

      Not everywhere does it force the police to stop the interview, the US is not the whole world. In Canada you're given a phone to call a lawyer to get the legal advice you are entitled to, then brought back to the interrogation room and the interview continues. Same with the right to silence; the police can continue to question you, for hours even, despite you exercising your right to remain silent by stating you'll not answer to questions. You have to invoke it again and again until the police decides they are wasting their time.

    • @ggmikebee
      @ggmikebee Год назад +3

      It is somewhat arbitrary but there is some logic to it as a tool for ruling out crimes you don’t want in the statistics because they don’t really match what you mean by serial killers. Three people is just the threshold. You could imagine someone in a shitty position killing someone and even a second person by chance in their life due to different out bursts. But three is a long term pattern where they are seeking out people to kill. The reason why killing a bunch of people in a short period is not considered is much for the same reason. Serial killers are a specific type of killer. It involves compulsion and seeking out multiple victims, but if you include short time multiple victims then you muddy the stats with so called spree killers. These people may not be serial killers in the traditional sense. Maybe they snapped and murdered a bunch of people at a grocery store. Or maybe they are a school shooter. Or the guy who snapped and killed multiple police across serveral days in California. These people might be monsters but have you ever thought of a school shooter as a serial killer? So it’s more about making sure you are precise in order to filter down to what people are thinking about when talking about serial killers and get just those killer statistics.

      That sounds reasonable, but unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. If you have a large ego, which this man clearly does, it’s naive to think that will not leak into his work and influence his investigative techniques and conduct. Police who aren’t egotistical are often pushed to employing unethical and illegal tactics in order to catch who they suspect is the perpetrator, out of frustration and pressure to close cases. Imagine that, plus the need to protect one’s ego and perceived reputation when you think so highly of yourself and your abilities. Also, it is very easy to manipulate people and push buttons when they have fragile egos; not a great weakness to have when interviewing and dealing with criminals.

    The definition of serial killer is "confused" because there isn't actually a definitive definition of the term, I'd argue there doesn't need to be 3 or more, a serial killer can exist with 2 murders.. and there isn't a strict time frame, purely a cooling off period. So a cooling off period could be 3-4 days.. its also common for the time to reduce as the killings continue or at least fluctuate.
    Another misconception is that "serial killers will never stop killing" where... in truth.. they stop all the time for all sorts of reasons, golden state killer is a good example or btk.. both were prolific, both stopped on their own accord.

    Didn't really finish listening to anything he had to say. Just another person who thinks punitive type punishment is the solution when clearly it isn't. In almost every serial killer case I have watched there were red flags somewhere in that serial killer's history, whether it started at childhood or later on. We need to understand what these red flags are and how to intervene when we detect them. To many times we as a society ignore these red flags and are shocked when these people go on to commit heinous crimes.
    Knowledge is the key to minimizing the damage. Also we need to understand why some people have more of a genetic disposition to kill when they grow up in a bad environment while others do not. Strong mental health services that work in conjunction with the justice system is how we will combat heinous crimes. We need to be thinking about how to help the next broken person before they become that heinous murderer.

      Some people have more of a genetic disposition to kill. That is true. But genetic combination is a complex thing. How do you identify all those problematic kids, and then improve their personalities and behaves by some programs, when most parents cannot even improve their own kids personalities and behaves after trying for years and spent all their saving. It is simply impossible to achieve.

      @@shaggyfeng9110 It isn't a matter of helping everyone. It is matter of collecting information about these problem people so that in the future we may be able to help other people who aren't as far gone and to intervene in cases, like child abuse, before it can permanently damage the child. We already know from brain scans that psychopaths have reduced connections between the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), the part of the brain responsible for sentiments such as empathy and guilt, and the amygdala, which mediates fear and anxiety. Imagine if we could find ways to increase the connections between these parts of the brains. I agree that it is unlikely a program will be able to help people that have been to damaged, but I can certainly say with 100% certainty that punitive measures like solitary confinement isn't going to help them or anyone else.
      Lastly I would add we need a preventative detention system like they have in Norway that ensures anyone who is still a danger to the public does not get out. With a strong connection between mental health services and the justice system we can not only study these people but ensure they do not get out if they remain dangerous. The current parole system in the United States is composed of under educated and unskilled bumpkins.
