“A serial killer series cannot fully contribute to the development of youths’ emotional and moral intelligence and does not build their self-esteem either. Rather, serial killer movies create a subversive reality that can only increase the level of aggressiveness in teenagers and young adults and subsequently their risk to adopt repressive attitudes.”
Nottinghamshire Police recently teamed up with partner agencies in a bid to tackle and reassure the local community that any reports of spiking are being heavily investigated and taken seriously. The force has received 44 spiking reports dating from 4th September 2021, 12 of these have alleged spiking by something sharp as opposed to a traditional method of contaminated alcoholic drinks. The first of these 12 were reported on 2nd October 2021.
Meanwhile, an extremely methodical, calculated, smart and seemingly charming serial killer is currently being glamourized on Netflix.

The Netflix series ‘ YOU’ tells Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg’s story, a bookstore manager in New York, who upon meeting Guinevere Beck, an aspiring writer, becomes infatuated with her, and whose toxic patterns of obsession and violence using social media and his ability to plan and execute murders are beyond belief.
According to recent statistics, ‘YOU’ is one of Netflix’s most viewed series of all-time with its second season reaching 457 million viewers. Recent statistics reveal the age of viewers range from 18 upwards.
On media violence and its impact on society and teenagers , media scholar W. James Potter asks provocative questions such as: How much media violence is there? What are the meanings conveyed in the way violence is portrayed? What effect does it have on viewers individually, as members of particular groups, and as members of society? And James Potter comes to the conclusion that: “Even if we were to lock up all of today’s criminals, the media are still helping to train another generation to believe that violence is a successful way to solve problems.”
Touquet Music Beach Festival. In August 1977 similar criminal behaviour happened in Touquet France: three teenagers aged 14, 15 and 16 who had come to the party, ended up in hospital after being stung by a needle by a random person in the crowd, in the middle of a concert.

Covers/stoppers for drinks are being put in place since the continuous scandals.
It is believed groups from more than 50 universities around the UK have joined an online campaign calling for the boycott of nightclubs. A petition to make it a legal requirement for nightclubs to thoroughly search guests on entry started recently and has already gained more than 127,000 signatures. Campaigners are expecting

To limit the risk of contamination by the AIDS virus or by a hepatic virus, the three youth received heavy preventive treatment.
Nobody is immune to media violence. However, certain groups and categories are at greater risk of delinquent behaviour, and media should acknowledge their responsibility for the negative influence they impose on teenagers and young adults.
Violent media content may also kill an urge for creativity and imagination and bar the youths’ capacity for constructive, problem solving scenarios and peaceful outcomes.

The British GP is believed to have killed at least 218 patients, although the total is quite likely closer to 250.

Our editorial suggests such series should be strictly for television consumption with PG warnings only: 18 is still not mature enough to watch serial killers series.
Evidence shows that, rather than ending at age 5 or 12, brain development actually continues into one’s twenties. According to researchers, the teenager brain is still under construction.
Molecular imaging and functional genomics studies have indicated that the brain remains in an active state of development during adolescence. Brain maturation during adolescence (ages 10–25

On how to spot a serial killer or a family killer in a bid to prevent dangerous psychopaths to strike again and make more victims.
Definition of a serial killer or a family killer according to the online dictionary:
According to the Online Thesaurus: a serial killer is a person who commits a series of murders, often with no apparent motive and typically following a characteristic, predictable pattern of behaviour.
Marcel Petiot (pictured)
A former juvenile delinquent, very probably sociopathic, the French physician Marcel Petiot, also known as ‘Doctor Satan’, allegedly killed almost 60 people later. He specially targeted Jews fleeing Nazi-occupied France…

It is the rarest form of homicide, occurring when an individual has killed three or more people who were previously unknown to him or her.
Meanwhile, The Collins Online Dictionary defines a family killer as a person who commits the murder of one or several members of their own family either by jealousy or in quick succession, most often children, relatives, spouses, siblings, or parents.
Whilst other psychologists link the behaviour to early childhood abuse or drugs, criminologists reveal five key traits the most notorious killers have in common ranging from being egotistical to manipulative and charming.
Pedro Lopez (pictured)
One of the world’s most prolific serial killers might still be on the loose. Pedro Lopez is believed to have killed more than 300 people in his native Colombia and in Ecuador and Peru. At least one-third of those murders were tribal women…

Studies revealed a link between damage to the brain’s frontal lobe and changes in the amygdala in criminal serial killers.
Family killers, also known as family annihilators, are the worst of them all. The most frightening thing about family killers is that they are family members. They are the monsters emblematic of the serpent within.
They fake tears, their laughter, to lure family members but would without remorse poison their tea to put their hands on the will. They will kill their spouses, children, siblings, or parents, for jealousy, or often in response to financial, professional, or relationship stress.
Moses Sithole (pictured)
Of South African origin, Sithole is the serial killer and rapist who committed the ABC Murders. Sithole is believed to have murdered at least 38 people …

It is believed that family killers are cursed as in many instances, they end their killing sprees by taking their own lives, while some become fugitives from the law, living like ugly rats in sewage under new identities for years before they’re captured by police.
In July 2008, the FBI revised the definition of “serial murder” to the following:
“Serial Murder: the unlawful killing of two or more victims by the same offender (s), in separate events”. In fact, the FBI estimates that at any given time between 200 and 500 serial killers are at large; and, taken as a one group statistic, they kill 3,500 people a year. This high average among serial killers shows that killing becomes a pathological pattern, a habit, or addiction, that is difficult for the offender to break.
What is Halloween? There are many versions to the origins of ‘Halloween’. Most scholars believe that All Hallows’ Eve was originally influenced by Western European harvest festivals of the dead, which have their roots in paganism.
However, the most common theory is that Halloween was a festival thought to have originated with the Druids: a Celtic culture celebrated annually every October 31st to honour the dead.
Celts believed that not all souls were friendly: they left gifts and treats hoping to appease the evil souls, so that they could hope for a good crop for the coming year. There cannot be a better occasion than post Halloween to raise awareness of the real or potential serial killers that many of us are unknowingly in close proximity to.
Mohan Kumar, also known as Cyanide Mohan (pictured)

Many in Britain and worldwide lay wreaths on the graves of loved ones in the grim knowledge that they were snatched from them by the terrible acts of ‘serial killers’.

Many in Britain and worldwide lay wreaths on the graves of loved ones in the grim knowledge that they were snatched from them by the terrible acts of ‘serial killers’.
Answering the question, what goes on inside serial killers’ minds? will prevent more people becoming their victims.
Previous studies have found a connection between serial killers and childhood abuse, including physical, mental and sexual.
The killers usually come from unstable families, and shown signs of voyeurism and sadomasochism from an early age.
We are all potential victims, no one is safe. The killer, in general, and the ‘serial’ killer in particular, is our fellow primate: he can be a generous person, a friend, a member of our family, an official in a respected profession, the next-door neighbour, a one night-stand encounter, a fiancé, a colleague, or a classmate; someone we have befriended, love, who has managed to gain our trust.
