Although I think the NE bashing on here is a bit extreme...its Calgary, some of you act like the NE is South Central L.A during the Rodney King riots. The N.E is a good setting to find a budding serial killer since they often come from troubled homes and low-income familys with lots of social issues.
This is the profile of a typical serial killer.
- They are often intelligent, with IQs in the "bright normal" range.
- Often they have trouble staying employed. Usually they have menial jobs as well.
- They tend to come from unstable families.
- As children, they are often abandoned by their fathers and raised by domineering mothers.
- Their families often have criminal, psychiatric and alcoholic histories.
- They were often abused — emotionally, physically and/or sexually — by a family member.
- They have high rates of suicide attempts.
- From an early age, many are intensely interested in voyeurism, fetishism, and sadomasochistic pornography.
- More than 60 percent wet their beds beyond the age of 12.
- Many are fascinated with fire starting.
- They are involved in sadistic activity or torturing animals.
- They mostly grew up in poverty, although various serial killers have had middle class backgrounds.
- They were frequently bullied as children.
