Articles From Interviews With 36 Sexual Murderers
FBI Behavioral Science Unit
Presenting two landmark articles written by members of the Behavioral Science Units, National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime which arose from the interviews conducted by FBI Special Agents with incarcerated sexual murderers. A sub-sample of 36 sexual murderers were selected for analysis with the aim of fostering an understanding of some of the dynamics behind sexually deviant behavior and to develop further information for profiling such murders.
The Men Who Murdered
The first article presents a series of general statements regarding what the FBI Special Agents learned about the 36 sexual murderers in relation to such things as; background characteristics, family background, attitudes and beliefs.
The Split Reality of Homicide
The second article presents the thoughts and beliefs articulated by the murderers themselves. The structure of conscious motives for murder is discussed, as is what happens when the fantasy of murder is played out through its various phases. By presenting an interpretation of the fantasy's importance to the serial killer, the article seeks to suggest perspectives for law enforcement on the investigation of sexual homicide.
