“Serial murderers have all reported feelings they could not
control, voices whose urgings forced them into criminal acts, or sensations
from deep within their minds” (212). There are mental diseases that exist which
cause people to be unnecessarily and inexplicably aggressive. Rage can build up
within a person, which they must take out on others in order to satisfy it.
This chapter argues that it is not American society which influences this
behavior, but it is mental disorders, which is a natural thing, and it is
currently out of human control. Medication has been created to deal with anger
and aggressiveness issues, but it doesn’t work all of the time or for everyone.
Unfortunately controlling serial killers is an out of reach goal, but that is
why the justice system must improve itself so it can effectively arrest and
punish these individuals. However I believe that the punishment for a serial
killer must be punished differently compared to an average murderer. If it truly
is a condition that one cannot control they should be placed in a highly secure
mental institution where they can receive proper treatment, and they are not a
harm to themselves or other prisoners.
