The formula creates mass murderers

Researchers have found a primitive formula that can create mass killers, including childhood abuse, autism and head injury.

The often described serial killers are cold-hearted, good at calculation and often obsessed, but it is still unclear what motivates these people to commit such crimes. Now, new research by Glasgow (Scotland) experts has discovered similarities between many criminals, in which frantic behavior may be related to specific psychological disorders and childhood trauma. .

The researchers conducted the first analysis with reports published in journals, news reports about mass killings, including Anders Breivik (Norway) and doctors 'death' . Harold Shipman (1946 - 2004). Since then, they have established a link between mass murderers and the so-called "wide-range autism disorder" (ASD) , ie psychological disorders and head injuries, such as schools being abused as a child or divorced by a parent.

In 2012, Breivik was officially charged with massacre in a bomb attack that killed 8 people and 69 people died in the subsequent shootings. In another case, in January 2000, a British jury concluded that Dr Harold Shipman had pleaded guilty to killing 15 patients, while he himself confessed to killing 250 people. Other assassins studied include Australian mass murderer Martin Bryant in 1996 and the Exeter (UK) bomber in 2008 Nick Reilly.

According to the analysis, 28% of the murderers have ASD . In contrast, only 1 in 100 ordinary people suffer from this condition. Besides, some other reports show that up to 25% of the perpetrators may or may have suffered head injuries in the past. Among assassins with ASD (or more head injury), more than half experienced psychological stress, such as sexual abuse, violence or witnessing parentage. hetero

Based on analytical data, the Glasgow study concluded that in general, there must be more than 10% of mass murder cases around the world showing signs of ASD and so on. Head injury. This combination is more likely to release individuals willing to commit evil crimes.

The University of Glasgow Dr. Allely noted, his team did not mean to say that any person with ASD or head injury turned into a mass murderer, but swirled into a small group of them more likely to commit crimes. in the face of psychological pressure.

In fact, despite the scouring efforts of the expert group, they only found about 400 murderers from 1985 to the present, showing that the number of cold-blooded people of this type is rare, according to the report. Science Direct. Carol Povey, director of the National Autism Organization, highly appreciated the study, allowing experts to develop strategies to prevent the generation of new generation killers.
