By firstly looking at Thiago Henrique Gomes da Rocha how Thiago killed his victims it shows me that it was act-focused killings. Thiago was shooting some of his victims, stabbing some and choke some. When Thiago performed his acts of killing it was fast, directly and no pleasure involved he didn't process the killings, which is showing that the killings were act-focused kills. With Thiago performing act-focused kills he can either fall into the category of the missionary serial killer, the comfort serial killer or the visionary serial killer.
Thiago was also a disorganized killer. He went out on his motorcycle and killed random people. Thiago was not making specific plans before each killings like the organized serial killer would. He disorganized

In this case Thiago states to the police when they caught him that he had to kill and that he was in the mood to kill. This could be signs telling us that Thiago feels compelled to killing other people. In prison he even asked the police if he could kill an inmate if he cooperates with them, also proving that he feels compelled to murder. This kind of killer is usually killing because the killing will give him a physiologically release in their head. In my opinion, I believe that it was the situation with Thiago. Thiago stated that he has to kill and it was probably because it made him feel good and gave him the physiologically release in his head.
The motivation for a visionary serial killer is not sexual. By looking at Thiago´s crimes, there is no sex involved. He didn't rape the victims, no necrophilia or masturbation at death scene. Thiago´s crimes were not sexually motivated, the same as the visionary serial killer. A visionary killer neither have an ideal victim type, which fits Thiago since he killed young women, prostitutes, gay men and transvestites. Thiago didn't have an ideal victim type since he killed so many people that wasn't connected or similar to each other. Thiago´s victims were strangers, which the visionary killer usually targets as
The motives and backgrounds of serial killers is a vexing topic. Not two people are the same, so therefore their motives differ. The different types of serial killers are: hedonistic, power seekers, gain, mission oriented, visionary, psychopathic, comfort, medical, organized, and disorganized. Motives of these murderers range from fear of being rejected, to “getting rid of what they deem bad,” or even to get sexual satisfaction from the suffering of their victims.

In conclusion, Iago is a psychopath because he meets all of the symptom criteria. He is an especially dangerous psychopath because he enjoys inflicting pain upon others, has no remorse or empathy, has a grandiose sense of self, is able to easily manipulate others for personal gain, and needs constant stimulation
The different types of serial killers are separated between categories but are also separated by gender based off of what Vronsky has stated in his books. Serial Killers are physically the same as everyone else in the world including the ones we celebrate as Founding Fathers, Brave Soldiers, and those who kill to protect country and for God. Though society and governments find reasons to justify their...
Each of a serial killer’s killings temporary gratifies whatever provokes the killer’s actions, and each subsequent killing terminates a separate sequence of behaviors. They are all motivated to for different reasons; some kill to gain or exert power over the victims, entertainment or mission. Some kill because they believe they have the responsibility to they society to do so (Julietta Leung N.D.) Frequently, homosexuals, prostitutes, and the homeless are viewed by serial killers because they might believe they are devalued in society or they view as being beneath humanity. They believe those kind of p...
A serial killer is a person who has killed three or more people over a month apart. Their motivation for killing is usually based on psychological issue.(Sanmartín,2001) In the U.S, the most reported serial killers are lower middle class white males, usually in their late twenties to early thirties (Skrapec,2001). Serial killers, often, are liars. They have no sense of remorse or guilt. Most of the time they are not in serious relationship or have any emotional obsession to any one person, besides their victims. Most of the well-known serial killers are: Robert Pickton, Charles Manson, Anthony Sowell, Ted Bundy, The Zodiac Killer, The Green River Killer, and The BTK murderer. (Sanmartín,2001). Often, women were never seen as even a suspect
A serial killer is defined to be somebody who has murder three or more people in the time span of one month, typically due to psychological abnormalities. After capturing a serial killer, the first question is usually, “Why?” There are many different reasons that a person may do this, that may be logical to them but not to everyone else. Most serial killers have one thing in common: they have mental disorders or psychological issues derived from a bad past. This may not be the case for all of them, but most serial killers have been proven to have at least one of these.
Freud (1940) was the first to do the link between sexual abuses during the childhood and adult abnormal behavior. As a result of that serial killer uses sex as a way to let out his or her anger and aggression. The sexually acts of the serial killer is not only about sex, but it is about revenge, power, and control. “Serial killers are unconsciously trying to kill off their repressed sexual pain and powerlessness. Every stab into the victim’s flesh is a stab against their own childhood sexual terror and pain, and the rage that accompanies it is a rage against those who tormented and terrorized” (Knight, 2006, p. 1199-1200).
A serial killer is a person who murders three or more people over a period of more than 30 days, with a "cooling off" period between each murder, and whose motivation for killing is largely based on psychological gratification. Most people do not understand what can make a person want to kill multiple people for no reason other than own satisfactional gain. In actuality serial killers have been studied for over hundreds of years, and the information that has been documented continues to grow. The research that I have gathered about serial killers focuses on their childhood development, the differences and similarities between men and female serial kills, and finally general information on how their brains operate and their motives for committing such harmful acts.
This paper will prove that Iago has one clear motive and reason for his madness. Iago is not looking for justification that causes him to act the way he does. There is much more to Iago. He is not a man of only excuses, he has goals with his motives, which causes him to act the way he does. As early as the first scene of the play, Iago shows us strong motives for his actions.
273). Serial Killers are fascinating to the general public for a few reasons: 1) They’re uncommon and abnormal (despite the UCR saying that at any given time there are 50-100 active serial killers), 2) Media mythologized: Serial Killers are often portrayed as being attractive or disgusting, possessing genius level intellect (Hannibal Lecter), and being completely chaotic. The Fall balances the line between these stereotypes and realism better than most shows on the subject of serial killers. Spector meticulously chooses his victims based on a physical profile (Source about how most serial killers have a specific type). In my opinion, Spector would be classified as a “Thrill Killer.” “Thrill” also known as Hedonist, kill for pleasure. This pleasure is often sexual and gives the killer adrenaline through which the killer uses to get a kind of high (Notes and Siegel pg. 273). I would also venture to say that Spector exhibits traits of power/control killers who enjoy having power and being extremely dominant over their victims. These labels fit Spector in his in his murder of Sarah Kay. He ties her up, forces himself on her, and frequently physically strangles her. According to the FBI, NCAVC (National Center For the Analysis of Violent Crime) reviewed serial murders and found that “Strangulation (42.5%) includes manual and ligature strangulation, suffocation,
Serial killers commonly attack a single target at a time one on one. There also tends to be no or very little relation between the person being killed and the killer (murder 1). “The nature of this drive has been heavily debated, but there is a consensus on some points (Anderson 1).” Many researchers have noted sexual behavior in the murder.
These killers receive commands from voices, or communicate with gods or other beings who demand the offender commit murder. They almost always fall into the FBI’s 'disorganized ' category of serial killers because of the mental illness and impulsivity that drives their criminal offenses. They are not thoughtful planners like their 'organized ' counterparts… Moreover, visionary killers are said to be 'act focused ' because the act of killing itself is their immediate goal. Some visionary killers come to believe that they are someone else while others feel compelled to murder at the behest of entities such as the Devil or God. Both 'God mandated ' and 'demon mandated ' serial killers are fairly common and well documented (Bonn,
Iago’s magnificent intelligence and superiority make him a very intriguing character. Iago is not just any villain that comes into a town, with a black cape and knife that scares everyone, he destroys and “kills” by using creative tactics that could only be thought of by someone who is brilliant. He deceives, strategizes, and twists the truth with amazing ease. Iago maintains his on point intelligence by staying completely unconflicted about being evil. Iago is completely committed as he states, “[He will] turn her virtue into pitch, / And… make the net / That shall enmesh them all” (II. Ii. 366-368). Iago is considered a cross between God and the Devil, as shown in the, “Divinity of Hell!” (!!. ii. 356)
There are four kinds of serial killer which include thrill seekers, mission oriented, visionary killers and power/control seekers. Serial killer's profile changes between these four options by the way they were raised and what they have been exposed to. The typical childhood for a serial killer involves physical and emotional abuse, a traumatic incident, and exploring sexuality. Serial killers are usually in and out of orphanages being considered the outcast
