Name Institutional Affiliations Date Module 6: Research paper Part II (Final Submission) Spree, Mass and Serial Killers Introduction There are various physical, personal and emotional factors that shape human behaviours ranging from childhood experiences, social influences and health-related experiences. However in most cases, biological risk factors that one has no control over, harsh/adverse childhood exposures and negative social influences/environments while growing plays a significant role in shaping a criminal behaviour/character. Killing is among the most dangerous criminal behaviour humans engage with in the course of their living. Unfortunately, most of these killing traits become shaped by uncontrollable childhood exposures that give the victim the urge to exercise or apply the bitterness into action. While trying to understand different type of killers, this essay will offer detailed analysis of Andrew Cunanan (spree killer), Adam Lanza (mass killer) and Jeffrey Dahmer (serial killer) to understand what shaped their killing trait and what defines the nature of their killing to justify where each killer falls. Social learning theory (spree killer), general strain theory (mass killer) and latent trait theory (serial killer) will help understand what factors shaped each of the above-mentioned killer behavior/character. Spree Killer Andrew Cunanan grew up in San Diego California and seemed to be on his way to success until his spree killing nature hampered such a bright dream. Born on August 31st 1968 to Modesto Cunanan a Navy veteran and Mary Anne Schillaci, Cunanan was the youngest of four children with an IQ of 147 at the age of three making him incredibly bright for his age. Cunanan attended high profiled private schools with kids from wealthier families thus faked up stories about his background to fit in their social circles which Soar (2000) explains as an early sigh of psychopathy or antisocial personality disorder. His parents old Cunanan that he was more special and deserving than others giving him surety of becoming rich and famous in future shaping his urge for such privileges and beating all odds to achieve them. His father abandoned the family when Cunanan was 19 years after continuous verbal abuse to the mother exposing her to chronic depression shattering their world. After the father left them, Cunanan started spending most of his time in gay club regardless of his mothers’ disapproval and the behavior deteriorated after dropping from school in 1989 moving to Castro District of San Francisco which
