This document summarizes research on the causes of serial killing. While some studies have correlated serial murder with childhood abuse or brain deficiencies, the document notes that not all serial killers experience these factors. It discusses research finding both genetic and environmental influences, with diminished brain activity found in certain regions of serial killers' brains. The document concludes that combining biological and psychosocial theories is needed to understand what provokes serial killing and that early signs like animal torture should be addressed with therapy or removing children from abusive homes, despite challenges, in order to prevent future serial murders.

Unit VII Assignment
Introduction
The Nature vs. Nurture debate is a long-standing controversy over whether human behavior is primarily determined by genetics (Nature) or by environmental factors (Nurture). The proponents of the nature vs. nurture argument for serial killers would contend that these individuals are born with particular tendencies or traits that cause them to commit horrible deeds. Lack of empathy, impulsivity and a propensity for violent action are a few of these predispositions. The argument put out by the opponents of the idea is that serial killers have innate traits and features that predispose them to crime. This encompasses a lack of compassion, guilt, and fear of the repercussions. This argument is particularly pertinent when considering the actions of serial killers, as some specialists argue that they are predisposed to violence from birth. Others, on the other hand, contend that environmental variables, including a traumatic upbringing, can contribute to developing aggressive impulses. The arguments in favor of nature are the genetic similarities among serial killers and the fact that some serial killers have a family history of mental illness. They would also emphasize that some serial killers have a history of mental illness, which genetic causes may bring on. Additionally, proponents of the "nature" camp would contend that even if serial killers are exposed to certain environmental variables, like a lack of parental supervision or violent media, these elements do not sufficiently explain serial killer behavior. The opposite viewpoint asserts that some serial killers have a hereditary propensity for aggression and violence, which increases their likelihood of becoming serial murderers. According to the Con side, a person's surroundings and upbringing can influence their development and conduct, but they do not necessarily turn them into serial killers. However, it might also intensify already present inclinations or trigger the emergence of certain antisocial behaviors. Genetics or environment alone cannot explain a serial killer's motivation, but a combination of the two may be able to. Serial killers are distinct individuals, moulded by their remarkable experiences, circumstances, and mindsets beyond a few basic qualities.
The Literature Review
The contentious argument regarding the causes of serial killers' behavior—their nature or nurture—will be examined in this literature review. The numerous hypotheses underlying the emergence of serial killers will be examined, along with the arguments for and against each hypothesis. It will also consider how these theories might affect society and law enforcement. This review will also discuss how comprehending this controversy might improve crime prevention measures. Ultimately, this analysis will summarize the numerous hypotheses and viewpoints concerning the controversy over the nature versus nurture factors in serial killers.

Causes of crime
Crime is generally referred to as the commissioning of an act that violates the law causing injuries to the society. Contemporary scholars from all over the world have debated this subject for ages with the aim of trying to unearth the causes of crime but many have gone ahead to conclude that it is a motivation of various factors. The factors are nevertheless numerous and there is no single study that accurately proves the current theories. All in all these theories have been used by scholars and researchers across the globe and have been widely accepted as the most probable sources of criminology. This study will indulge explicitly into some of these theories that form the basis of criminology together with some of the most profound programs and policies that would reduce the rising rates of crimes around the world.
These theories can be classified into three major theories; theories that attribute the act of crime to some congenital or biological defects by the defender, theories that may emanate out of a mental or a psychological disorder and theories that emanate from social or environmental factors. This study will begin by looking into the biological theories of crime.
There are two or more theories that currently exist in the biosocial world today and one or two set of these theories lays more emphasis on the genetic factors basically the traits that are transmitted to the child from the parents (Perez, 2011). Other studies assert that a criminal behavior may be triggered by defects in the neurology set up which may inhibit the factors that aid in self control which limit the probability of indulging in a criminal behavior. The irregularities may result out of defects in the structure and the chemical composition of the brain.
Genetic factors
This study shows that the effect of biological inheritance tending towards criminality is high in conjunction with the social environment of an individual. Studies in the interrelationship of criminal inheritance between parents and children proves that children whose parents had a background of crime or who are criminals themselves were more likely to engage in criminal activities compared to parents who abided by the law.
Finally there is a research that has been carried out between parents and their adopted children and parents and their real children. The research proved that the children with their biological parents had a higher risk of indulging in criminal activities if their parents were criminals than the adopted children (Ramdhan, 2011). However, there is little genetic predisposition to prove this and hence more study is needed to reaffir ...

Understanding serial killers' motivations, development, and habits can be challenging because they are among the most dangerous and elusive criminals. Researchers have conducted numerous studies to examine the various traits connected to serial killers to understand them better. A focus will be placed on the psychological, sociological, and environmental aspects that lead to the development of a serial killer as this literature review explores the various hypotheses and findings about serial killers.
According to psychological theories, serial killers are motivated by deep-seated urges for dominance, control, and power. Psychoanalytic theories suggest that there may be an underlying desire for vengeance resulting from feelings of rejection and victimization. Other psychological theories link severe mental disorders like psychopathy or schizophrenia to serial murders. According to Davies (2022), not all abused children go on to commit several murders, and not all serial killers were raped as youngsters. According to the article, a person's genetic makeup, trauma, environment, and personality are some elements that contribute to serial killer behavior. However, dismissing the two's link as the result of pure coincidence is impossible. A person is more prone to act violently if they have a specific monoamine-oxidase-A gene variant and experience abuse as a child. Not every child predisposed to genetically motivated aggression grows up to be a criminal (Davies, 2022).
According to sociological ideas, conditions including social and economic hardship, poverty, and a lack of access to quality education and employment prospects can mould people into serial killers. According to these views, serial killers may be motivated by a need for dominance and control over their surroundings. According to Entail (2021), an individual's propensity for serial killing is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Serial killers are exceptional because their personal experiences have affected their personalities and attitudes. Investigations into serial killers are further complicated because many lead normal lives and hide behind very commonplace lifestyles, making it more challenging to locate them. Professionals and the general public have a lot of curiosity, which calls for more study and rigorous analysis. Without a doubt, a person's predisposition to commit serial murder may rise due to a confluence of inherited features and environmental factors. Thus, environment, trauma, personality, and inheritance all work together to determine serial killer behavior (Entail, 2021).
Because a criminal's attitude is molded by both their genetic composition (nature) and their upbringing and history, Hernandez et al. (2015) contend that all criminals are judged using the same standards (nurture). Understanding the mind is a major focus in psychology, enabling .

Much of what we have been discussing these past few weeks includes theories that seek to explain crime. For this week's assignment, complete the following:
Identify two criminological theories that you believe will explain the crime you selected.
Discuss (critically) how these theories can apply to the crime you selected.
This assignment should be at least 2-3 pages in length.
Your paper should reference at least five scholarly sources that discuss a criminological theory, using APA format. Students should seek out peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles from LIRN to complete this assignment.
Abstract
In this paper, The two criminological theories which I will be using to explain child abuse and neglect is the classical criminological theory and the positivist theory. I will discuss how both of these theories can be applied to this particular crime.
Criminological Theories
There are numerous criminological theories. For this assignment I will work with classical criminological theory and the positivist theory (Eglin, 1992).
According to the positivist theory, people commit crimes because they lack the moral intelligence to stop them from making decisions that would lead to criminal actions. This theory asserts that people do not just make decisions to commit crimes but that there are internal forces that contribute to their wayward criminal behavior. These factors may include the social acceptability of the person, the moral values as well as the intelligence of the person. The person lacks the internal drive to make him obey the laws (Beirne,1987).
The classical criminological theory asserts people think critically before they commit a crime. Their thinking usually weighs the consequences of the action that one intends to commit. The thinking guides the people before making the decision to commit the crimes and therefore they are usually aware of what is likely to happen to them after the criminal action they intend to engage in. According to this theory, people make the decisions to commit crimes and are also aware of the consequences (Barak,1998).
Positivist theory and its application to the crime
Positivist theory can be applied to the child abuse crime from various perspectives. To begin with, the people who abuse children are very dear to them. These include babysitters, parents as well as close relatives. According to this theory, they therefore make the decision to abuse the child due to lack of moral intelligence. This is because if the person abusing the child had some morals, then the morals would guide him or her not to abuse the child but to take care of the child as is morally accepted. For instance, looking at Casey Anthony case, the mother might hav.

Introduction
The Nature vs. Nurture debate is a long-standing controversy over whether human behavior is primarily determined by genetics (Nature) or by environmental factors (Nurture). The pro side of the debate between nature and nurture aspects of serial killers would argue that serial killers are born with certain predispositions or traits that lead them to commit their heinous acts. These predispositions could include a lack of empathy, impulsivity, and an inclination to violent behavior. The Con side of the debate argues that serial killers are born with innate qualities and characteristics predisposing them to crime. This includes a lack of empathy, lack of remorse, and a lack of fear of consequences. This debate is especially relevant when considering the behavior of serial killers, as some experts argue that they are born with a predisposition towards violence. In contrast, others argue that environmental factors, such as a traumatic upbringing, can cause someone to develop violent tendencies. Supporters of the Nature side of the debate point to the genetic similarities among serial killers and the fact that some serial killers have a history of mental illness in the family. Additionally, they would point to the fact that some serial killers have a history of mental illness, which could result from genetic factors. Furthermore, proponents of the "nature" side of the debate would argue that even if serial killers are exposed to certain environmental factors, such as a lack of parental guidance or violent media, these factors alone do not explain the behavior of serial killers. The Con side also argues that some serial killers have a genetic predisposition to violence and aggression, which makes them more likely to become serial killers. Furthermore, the Con side believes that a person's environment and upbringing can impact their development and behavior, but it does not create a serial killer. It may, however, amplify existing tendencies or lead to the development of certain antisocial behaviors. The motivation behind a serial killer's actions cannot be explained by genetics or upbringing alone, but a combination of the two may be able to. Beyond a few shared traits, serial killers are unique people shaped by their extraordinary experiences, circumstances, and mindsets.

It will look at the various theories surrounding the development of serial killers and the arguments for and against each theory.

Abstract
Juvenile prostitution has disastrous effects to the mental, social, and physical development of a child. The paper explores the causes, effects, and prevention approaches that will eliminate juvenile prostitution. The research will use eco-developmental theory provides a premise for exploring the investigation on juvenile prostitution. Effort need to focus on broadening the prevention programs that are community based that helps to identify vulnerable children before they end up on the streets. The paper will provide stakeholders with an opportunity to understand the gravity of juvenile prostitution and develop appropriate interventions.
Background
In many conventions and tourist cities, child prostitution is rampant and growing at an alarming rate. According to the federal bureau of investigation, Atlanta tops among the cities with the highest number of children who engage in prostitution. There are concerted efforts of religious groups, lawmakers, and advocates for juvenile justice in the state. These efforts have not been fruitful since there is less focus on a lasting solution to the problem. Critics argue that efforts should be providing a sustainable program that will prevent vulnerable children from taking part in the vice. There has been a focus on increasing penalties for offenders without addressing the cause of the problem. Despite the stringent laws and penalties, the vice has continued to thrive. It is critical to note that efforts should be placed on developing treatment programs that help children who are sexually exploited. The efforts need to focus on broadening the prevention programs that are community-based that contribute to identify vulnerable children before they end up on the streets.
Introduction
Juvenile prostitution is an issue of concern in the society since it fuels human trafficking, kidnapping, serial rape, abuse of human rights, and exploitation. Most of these children are lured or abducted by traffickers who brand them or beaten into submission. Those that try to get away are either killed or tortured. Review of foster care is imperatives since many of these children are raped and abused in these placements. It is imperative to note that these children decide to run away since foster-care homes are inhabitable (Plumridge & Abel, 2001). It is imperative that the discourse should be placed on the role of child welfare systems since they have failed to identify children who are trafficked for sex. Even in their knowledge on the existence of these problems, the child welfare systems argue that the responsibility is outside their jurisdiction and purview. The argument is that the perpetrators of the vices are not caregivers or parents; thus, they shift the responsibility to law enforcement officers. Breggin (2008) says, “These children are not ...

- 2. Kelly-Code of the Serial Killer 2 Abstract: For years, medical professionals have correlated biological and/or environmental prototypes to serial murderers. The most prevalent factors have traditionally been children who suffered repeated abuse or brain deficiency. The first theory however, fails to recognize one very fundamental flaw: legitimacy of the serial killer’s accounts during consultation. Being that these criminals are cunning predators, allocates a wide span of doubt and a very narrow window of scientific certainty. Rather than relying on erroneous data garnered from the past, we need to assess the present as a means of hopefully averting the foundation of a serial killer in the future.
- 3. Kelly-Code of the Serial Killer 3 Not all serial killers suffered from child abuse or brain deficiency; and not all abused or brain deficient children become serial killers. According to assessment data, 36% suffered from physical child abuse; 26% sexual abuse; 50% psychological abuse; and 18% neglect (Mitchell & Aamodt, 2005). Biologically, the part of the brain that controls negative and violent behavior is genetically different between violent prone individuals and the general population. In 2000, Dr. Richard Davidson at the University of Wisconsin compared 500 brain scans and discovered diminished or lack of brain activity in the orbital frontal cortex and the anterior cingulated cortex of violent killers, theorizing this as the cause of uncontrollable urges (Serial Killers: Nature vs. Nurture-How Serial Killers are Born, 2011). While scientists attribute violent murder to genetics; criminologists and psychosocial behaviorists argue that environmental factors predispose savage tendencies. In my conclusion, although research partially supports both theories, combining them is essential to provoke a serial killer. Early signs of violent propensities have been documented in young boys who torture animals. Studies indicate this behavior tends to escalate toward human beings. Young girls have been observed to display violent behavior towards dolls, but more studies are needed (Serial Killers: Nature vs. Nurture-How Serial Killers are Born, 2011). Although child abuse intervention is difficult due to lack of cooperation with the parents, laws need to be enacted requiring children displaying violent behavior in school to receive psychological assessment and therapy or be removed from the home. While this would require resources, the costs of the consequences are greater. Besides valuable lives being lost, serial killers require many professionals working together to apprehend them.
