A Serial Killer Profiler Explains the Minds of Murderers

There has always been a morbid fascination around serial killers, with hundreds of true crime books, countless documentaries, TV and feature films inspired by real life murder stories.
VICE interviews Paul Harrison about his career as a serial killer profiler. He interviewed more than 70 different serial killers and mass murderers to find out more about their psyches. He tells us about the times he spoke to Charles Manson, the Yorkshire Ripper and John Wayne Gacy.

It's strange how childhood trauma can create two people on opposite sides of the bars.

[@benstanbridge763]

There's 3 outcomes with childhood trauma. Taking it out on yourself, taking it out on others or being able to cope and come out the other side.

[@sauceroflivingpeople]

Id say the third one is less learning how to cope and more learning how to confront and critically examine your own personal trauma. Personal opinion, coping is more like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound. Going to a good therapist (which is extremely hard to find and can be prohibitively expensive , totally understand that) and working towards becoming more metacognitive of how your personal trauma affects you will go so much further than just learning how to cope. Everybody’s perspective is different so finding a solid support system that works for you, even if it isn’t therapy or counseling, is critical to resolving childhood and adult trauma. We could also just have two different head definitions of what coping is and you already know all this.

There's also an Ultimate to serial killer fandom. Partially through media, both fiction, and the news, or true crime documentaries like this one. You have Agatha Christie, and then you have The Silence of the Lambs. Christie's stories were mostly about the Upper Class, near royalty if not actual nobility in England. So, people read them partially for the scandal. Who was sleeping with whom, as well as whodunnit, but the cliche' about "The butler did it" points to the class of the people she wrote about. If a porter killed a waiter on The Orient Express, then nobody would care about it. There is the Escalation, and later in life, Christie escalated to at least 1 Serial killer tale. After she resorted to "Everyone did it" (Except for the servants, who weren't significant to the tale) she wrote the Pale Horse, and i won't spoil the ending, but it was basically a Serial killer. One man killing several people, serially instead of Witches. Then, we have Hannibal Lechter, who's refined, a gourmand, and a psychiatrist. He also had 6 fingers on each hand, and violet spokes in his eyes that seemed to rotate hypnotically when Starling looked into them... It's larger than life, the same reason why we're fascinated by supervillians (And elect them to public office.) Because serial killers are our supervillains, so those that catch them must be that good, to have caught them. Because we don't fight dragons to rescue princesses any more, we have Serial Killers, some of whom may pretend to be possessed by a Dragon.

*he still ordered others to, so he's a serial killer by proxy*

[@FreeJulianAssange23]

If someone told you to murder someone and you were dumb enough to listen I don't think the person should get death row. I'm a divorcee of a man with ASPD he managed to manipulate me but nothing he said would have made kill a person.

[@pazuzuzuu]

The way he handled the subject is so admirable and human. I deeply appreciate his honesty with his own trauma as well

I’m so fascinated by serial killers and their backgrounds. Psychologically, if it’s nurture or nature “as they say”. I can only judge by my own experience as a mother of a child that has no empathy, has an uncanny knack of compartmentalizing everything, and has no concern for anyone but herself. She was a problem from the day she had a personality. I felt that something was “off” about her early on. Her father has been diagnosed with many mental issues and was fired from the Sheriffs office in NorCal for liability reasons. I had no clue. He was so engaging, so alluring, and very charismatic. I know I was a very good mother. I had three other children that have all done well. I made it a priority because I didn’t have the best childhood. It was my goal to make sure my kids would be ready for the world in a good way. This one daughter of mine has been to many psychiatric specialists throughout her life and they have all diagnosed her with reactive attachment disorder, adhd, psychosis, DID, and other issues. I’m so afraid that she will become a monster someday to others as she has to our family. 😞

Thank you sir you are a genius, interesting and inspirational person

[@poeticpotato]

So many abusers and killers and whatnot use their past abuse as an excuse for their actions. And here is this man, who was abused as a child, who turned to this line of work to help catch horrible people. Really shows how being abused, or being mentally ill, is not an excuse for being a terrible person.

His dad locked him in a cupboard for extended periods of time and instead of letting it get to him, he'd try and think of why his dad did it...that blows my mind, it's almost genius.
