What drives some of the most famous serial killers in the world to one day decide to murder people? What is happening inside the minds of these killers, and does it even "affect" them? How many murder cases are serial killers responsible for worldwide? And can such killers be identified even before they become murderers?
A serial killer is defined as someone who has killed at least two people with at least a day's interval between the murders. Society often mistakenly views these killers as an anomaly associated solely with psychopathic individuals. These serial killers are likely responsible for a certain percentage of all murders worldwide and, in absolute numbers, are accountable for approximately 4,000 murders each year.
The investigation is not simple, involving misconceptions and many biases about the thinking and actions of serial killers. Attempts to understand the logic behind a series of murders through "normal" means and perceptions often fail. The investigation requires "thinking outside the box" and understanding the process of building fantasy and its transformation into a distorted and deadly reality in the mind of the serial killer.
Around the phenomenon of serial killers, most of whom have operated and continue to operate in the United States, many myths have developed. Some are incorrect, and some remain unclear to researchers of this horrific phenomenon to this day. Dr. Avi Zalba will reveal the thinking and brain activity of several serial killers based on multicultural studies, scientific literature, and Dr. Zalba's personal encounters with researchers and killers in the United States and other countries.
Dr. Avi Zalba will answer questions at the end of the lecture and engage in discussion with participants afterward.
