Why are mass murderers often men?

Whenever a mass shooting, shooting or massacre occurs, up to 98% of the risk of a culprit is a man. Why is that?

>>>The formula creates mass murderers

There is no absolute certainty when it comes to mass killers, but there are still a few approximate points about them. Someone will use the term "disgruntled youth" to describe the culprit. Somewhere there will be their diaries, such as blogs, personal accounts on socially powerful sites like Facebook, Tweeter or YouTube, or pieces of scribbles scribbled in personal computers. And the murderer, certainly over 98%, is a man.

All of these are true in the most recent massacre, which occurred last weekend, when Elliott Rodger, a 22-year-old student at Santa Barbara City College, killed six people and injured him. 13 others in a slashing and shooting, before suicide.

The question is: Why are men often the ones causing the bloody massacres? There is still a lack of thorough explanation of the dominance of men in this "monster" criminal group. However, criminal experts learn and researchers have pointed out some of the most likely causes. For example, testosterone hormones group aggression; Boys take longer to become mature, mature than girls.

And just like in the weaker sex, the frontal brain of the male faction did not develop myelin sheaths wrapped around the complete nerve fibers until the end of the 20s and even early 30s. operating, such as nerve impulse control, reflection or awareness of consequences. In the case of men who are easy to become aggressive, it will lead to years of bad behavior.

In addition, there are social factors: video games, movies, violent books and the general trend of every society about turning men into hunters or warriors.

Status also has a certain effect on this issue. Men often protect their status in any tribe, community or society aggressively and any threat to that position "strikes" directly on the identity and self-esteem of they.

We can easily observe in times of recession that, when losing a job is miserable for both sexes, men are more likely to " completely fall" because of that situation. When there is no longer the role of workers and the ability to make money, men often feel useless and urge to take revenge. This led to many murders, in which the victim was murdered at the workplace as employers, only a few months before demotion or dismissal of the culprit.

Candice Batton, director of the Crime and Crime School at the University of Nebraska (USA), once remarked in the NPR after a horrific shooting at the Washington shipyard in 2013: "Some studies support the idea. The idea is that men are more likely to have negative rules to blame outside than women, such as "the cause of my problems is by someone or some force other than me". This translates into anger and hostility towards others, while women are more likely to have negative rules to blame themselves , such as "what are the causes of problems? that's mine. I have not tried enough and not good enough. "

This is why when women take action to kill, action often takes place in a more discreet way, such as drowning or suffocating drowning. Meanwhile, men tend to be crazy, shooting into crowded places and cursing the world. That of course also increases the number of male assassin victims. "

The case of the young murderer Rodger is vivid proof of the above statements. In the diary are videos posted on YouTube, the splendor revealed, Rodger hates women who never value him enough to appeal to them.
