Mind of a Murderer

This video made me see murders in a different way because before this video I thought they were crazy, insane, heartless people but, after watching this video I understood their behaviors and could actually judge their actions in a fair way. I personally it was interesting to know why a murderer does what they do (kill people). According to Dr. Dorothy Lewis, there is an explanation for their criminal behavior. After conducting evaluations on the subject, she discovered that there are three reasons behind their criminal behavior: brain damage, abuse, and mental illnesses. How in the world will thinks this is actually the reason… well in the video some examples are shown to demonstrate the world what really happens inside the mind of a murderer.  An example is Terrance Rainright. He killed his wife because according to him she was flirting on the phone. He stabbed her. Dr. Lewis studied Terrance’s case, which actually did match her studies. Terrance Rainright had brain damage from a car accident, his mother had abused him when he was a child, and he suffered from bipolarity and depression. As a child, Terrance had witnessed how his mother was sexually abused by his father and also how his mother stabbed her own husband. But because this area of study (psychology) is not 100% accurate, nor is it reliable, people cannot declare that killers are evil because they have developed mental problems. I personally believe that more studies should be made because people who are very religious might not like this idea or don’t believe on it. I personally believe it is just that we know how the feedback on why this people react the way they do, but strongly believe that this should not be use to just peoples bad decisions.
