EP 187: Unveiling the Mind.....Myths and Mechanisms of Serial Killers

In this thought provoking episode, we take a step back from profiling individuals cases, to lay the groundwork for understanding the complex world of serial killers. Dr. Jerrod Brown, a familiar voice and revered figure in the field, joins us to demystify the phenomenon of serial killers, challenging common myths and bringing to light the pivotal role of neurocriminology. From discussing the significance of a serial killer's signature behaviors to noting the Trauma Control Model,  this episode is an immersive journey into the psychological and behavioral patterns that define some of the most notorious criminals. We delve into how Attachment Disruption, stemming from excessive trauma, influences an individual's capacity for forming relationships, and potentially, their path into criminality. This episode is not about sensationalizing the macabre, but about equipping practitioners in criminal justice and human services with the knowledge to identify and manage behaviors indicative of deeper issues. Join us for an educational expedition into the minds of those who commit these crimes and discover how this knowledge can apply to a broader spectrum of case work.  Become a Neurocriminology Informed Professional!
