Inside the criminal mind; what makes certain people kill others?

Question

I found out about the case involving the murder of a pregnant woman (Jessie Davis) and her 9 month old fetus. The alleged participants were her boyfriend Bobby Cutts and a friend of his.

If these people did it, then why would someone do something so cruel as to kill another innocent human being? What did the pregnant woman do anything to deserve being killed by someone she trusted?

Are there any criminology experts or criminal justice majors that can help shed light on this?

Answer 1

Often there is a personality trait in these peple - they are sociopathic or psychopathic. they really dont have the ability to be empathetic to others. Many of these poeple have suffered abuse as children. In Australia there are men who kill their own children. One guy wrapped plastic around his infant son and watched him die.

Answer 2

I would say that it is in the upbringing of a person during his young age. He or she may be expose too much on the TV programme they watched, phycologically they are not being taught of what is good and bad when they were young. it has indirectly built in their mind, and as days goes by this hidden though just brew out in sprilt seconds and result in such tragedy. If you belief in "Karma", this could be another answer to think about it. Because everyone of us met together for a short time or long time is faithed. Cheer....!

Answer 3

I too have been watching the story, but I don't recall that all of the events were listed. Perhaps we shoud watch to see when everything comes out. I too wonder about the sickness that could cause such horror.
