The Criminal Mind
About Our Site:
Welcome to our site! By exploring this site you will be taken into the mind of murderers- you will learn about the types of murderers, how murderers become the way they are, and what sets off a murderer to kill. Also, there is a page of more famous, world-renowned murderers.
By taking others into the minds of psychopaths, criminals, serial and mass murderers, we will further understand criminology, and perhaps learn to identify a potential murderer and get them help before he or she starts to exterminate. Be wary, and have fun! Although we have tried our best to filter out all unnecessary violent or mature content, there may be places on the website which require this content. Younger viewers are recommended to stay away from the "Murderers-Their Stories" Page, as it may contain mature content. The majority of the site is okay, as we are focused on the killer's brain and types of murderers, not the methods of killing.
The point of this website is to educate the general public about murderers, in all their forms, as it is useful for everyone to know these types of things, and hey, who knows, maybe someone who reads this will become a Crime Scene Investigator, a police officer, a professor of criminology, a lawyer?
As well, the site helps to clear up misunderstandings and questions that people of all ages may have about murderers, such as "Do killers stand out from the crowd?" "Aren't all murderers male?" "Doesn't pure insanity make murderers kill?" "Does the brain of a killer look different from ours?" "Do all murderers kill the same types of people?" "Do murderers only kill at night?" "Are everybody who are slaughtered by killers abducted?" And other such questions. It is a fun way to learn about an interesting topic, and may create new passion for this field in someone who reads our website. And, as everyone will come to know, murderers are more than what meets the eye...
