Excerpt from introduction:

There exists humans among us who are empowered by the weakness and humiliation of others-- individuals who revel in creating suffering and pain and violating the boundaries of civilized society by courting taboo--those who kill for no other reason than ‘they kill because they can’.

One of the most poignant lines in the movie The Dark Knight is contained in the scene between Bruce Wayne and Alfred Pennyworth when he explained to Wayne that all men were not ‘simple’- that some defied logic, that the motivation of some men to create ruin is not born from logical desires for money or fame, but stems from something deeper and darker within them:

“They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned,
Or negotiated with.
Some men just want to watch the world burn”

Alfred Pennyworth
From the movie The Dark Knight

The ‘Serial Killer’, ‘Spree Killer’ and ‘Mass Murderer’ all hold two things in common: a skewed perception of power and a sense of entitlement. In order to take a life that is not yours to take, under no pretext of self defense or in the act of war or for the sake of the protection of the public; in each case, the killer must give him or herself permission to immorally and illegally take a life. The permission forms part of a chosen belief that the killer has the right to kill. With the exemption of rare cases of those too mentally diseased to know that reality is not what it appears to them, the killer embarks on a mission to either show off his power, by making others powerless or to also take revenge upon the ‘world’ at large by killing a vital and innocent sample. In some cases of sexually motivated killings, the killer becomes sexually potent only in the presence of a powerless victim.

Serial killers and mass murderers are not overnight creations who provide no clues to their nature; we must learn to identify the clues that will enable early intervention.

If we want to stop the killers-we must first understand them.
