@group980507933 @DrDaveT Are there any of these which may be present but will not be apparent to a therapist unless told about?

@Group384307318 @DrDaveT In recent years studies have found that the PCL-R test is not as reliable as once thought, however this could be because the test is a couple decades old, being developed in the early 1990s. -Julia

@Group384307318 @DrDaveT thanks! How much more likely is someone to develop IDC if a family such as a mother or grandmother has had it beforehand?

[Group 2 @InvestCommGrp2]

@aimee291002 @DrDaveT Although not all of us are on the forensics course, we are all interested in the phenomenon of serial murder, and what motivates someone to commit such a crime. It's a very interesting but often taboo topic due to the nature of some of the crimes committed. -Julia

@uwsbiomed many had happy childhoods with no problems. -Julia

[Group 2 @InvestCommGrp2]

@uwsbiomed There are some indicators which happen in childhood that can increase the chance of someone committing serial murder. For example, if a child begins to torture and kill animals. On the one hand a lot of serial killers were neglected or even abused as kids , but on the other+

@uwsbiomed There are many other serial killers such as Jack the Ripper, Peter Tobin or the Zodiac killer, however we felt as though by including Jeffrey Dahmer to the poster it could engage the audience due to his well known acts. - Hana

[Group 2 @InvestCommGrp2]

@uwsbiomed His crimes were especially violent, killing about 17 men and raping, dismembering and cannibalising them. What he did was so horrific that we can now consider him a household name -Julia

[Group 2 @InvestCommGrp2]

@bethjohnstonnn0 @DrDaveT We chose him as he is a household name, and an example of a psychopathic and hedonistic killer. His crimes were one of the worst in history, killing 17 men and raping, dismembering and even cannibalising many of them. -Julia

[Group 2 @InvestCommGrp2]

@bethjohnstonnn0 @DrDaveT We chose Jeffery dhammer because he was one of the few serial killers in the last century too truly represent a hedonistic killer, he only killed for pleasure and was driven it that’s why it made him a very interesting pick for us - Farid

[Group 2 @InvestCommGrp2]

@uwsbiomed You must be mixing us up with another group, our poster does not contain a pie chart. -Julia

@bethjohnstonnn0 @DrDaveT Hello!

[Group 2 @InvestCommGrp2]

@uwsbiomed Are you referring to the "Motivations of a serial killer" portion? I believe that we could have done more to condense the text however we found a lot of good info and wanted to include it. -Julia
