Annotated Bibliography & Research Proposal
Introduction
The mysterious figure of the serial killer has long captured the public's attention in the
vast field of criminology. These people, who regularly engage in violent crimes, have been the
focus of in-depth scholarly analysis, journalistic searches, and, perhaps most significantly,
popular culture depictions. We can investigate the complex relationship between serial killers,
mental illness, and the media using the highly praised television series "Mindhunter," one such
depiction. This study aims to decipher the complex web of serial killer representations in media
narratives, with an emphasis on "Mindhunter." .We hope to contribute to a deeper understanding
of the complicated relationship between mental illness, criminality, and the role of the media in
influencing public opinions by using qualitative content analysis to answer our primary and
secondary research questions. This study has the potential to clarify the wider effects of such
depictions on how society perceives these problems, ultimately influencing discussions about
mental health, crime prevention, and the function of media in contemporary society.
Primary Research Question
The following is our main research hypothesis for this investigation: How are serial
killers socially constructed or portrayed as mentally ill in television and media narratives, and
what insights can be gained regarding the impact of these portrayals on our understanding of the
connection between mental illness and criminality?
Subsidiary Question
3
To delve deeper into this complex issue, we will also address the following subsidiary
question: Through content analysis, what role does the childhood and early life of serial killers
play in their portrayal as mentally ill individuals in media narratives?
Rationale
The portrayal of serial killers as mentally ill in media narratives is a topic of immense
importance and relevance in contemporary criminology. With the rise of true crime
documentaries, series like "Mindhunter," and the constant exposure to sensationalized news
coverage, the way serial killers are depicted can significantly impact public perception and
understanding of criminality and mental health. By critically examining how serial killers are
portrayed in the criminological television program "Mindhunter," this study seeks to add to the
body of literature by illuminating the broader implications for how society views psychological
disorders and criminal conduct.
Focused Method
We will use qualitative content analysis approach to answer our study questions. With the
use of this technique, we may systematically go through "Mindhunter" and other relevant
materials to find recurrent themes, patterns, and the overall narrative structure relating to serial
killers and mental illness. We seek to expose the fundamental social constructs and depictions
that influence the general public's image of serial killers and their mental condition by carefully
examining the episodes, dialogues, descriptions, and context-related factors within the series.

Identification of Program Series
We will be analyzing the material of the criminological television program "Mindhunter"
as our main subject. The series, which was produced by Joe Penhall and centered on the true-
crime book "Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit" by John E. Douglas and Mark
Olshaker, examines the history of criminal psychology as well as the formation of the FBI's
Behavioral Science Unit. Its engaging storyline and in-depth development of characters serve as
a valuable researching reference.
Summative evaluative (Bibliography)
Allely, C. S., Minnis, H., Thompson, L., Wilson, P., & Gillberg, C. (2014).
Neurodevelopmental and psychosocial risk factors in serial killers and mass
murderers.
Aggression and violent behavior
,
19
(3), 288-301. Allely et al. (2014) conducted a literature review on the neurodevelopmental and
psychological risk factors that may influence the emergence of mass murderers and serial killers.
Following the PRISMA standards, the authors carried out a systematic review of both peer-
reviewed and unreviewed materials. They discovered that some of the offenders may have had
neurodevelopmental abnormalities like autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or brain injuries, and
that these extreme forms of violence may be impacted by a complex interaction of biological,
psychological, and sociocultural factors (Allely et al., 2014). The main points made by the
authors in defense of their article are as follows: first, there is evidence that some mass
murderers and serial killers have displayed characteristics of ASD, including compromised social
and communication skills, a lack of empathy, rigid and obsessed behaviors, and special interests.
Additionally, there is proof that some mass murderers and serial killers have had brain injuries,
5
which may have impacted their ability to manage their impulses and regulate their emotions.
Furthermore, the scholars indicate out that some mass murderers and serial murderers have gone
through psychological challenges like childhood abuse, neglect, bullying, rejection, and trauma,
which may have precipitated or worsened their criminal behaviors. Lasttly, some mass murderers
and vicious killers have exhibited illicit sexual behavior and fantasies, which may have inspired
or enabled their atrocities (Allely et al., 2014).
In light of this, the researchers came to the general conclusion that multiple and serial
killings are uncommon and complex phenomenon that may be caused by a confluence of
neurodevelopmental and psychosocial risk factors. They also concluded that additional research
is required to examine the potential relationship between neurodevelopmental disorders and
these types of violence. This source's reliance on subjective and theoretical material from non-
peer-reviewed sources, like journalistic and legal reporting, raises the possibility that the
information contained therein may not be reliable, factual, or legitimate which proffers limitation
to this study. Another limitation is that it simply implies a connection that needs further research
between neurodevelopmental abnormalities and numerous and serial killings rather than
establishing a causal connection. In my research study, this source provides valuable insights into
the neurodevelopmental and psychosocial risk factors associated with serial killers, which will
help inform the background and contextual understanding of my research on serial killers.
Biagi-Chai, F. (2013).
Serial killers: psychiatry, criminology, responsibility
. Routledge.
6
This 2013 book by Biagi-Chai investigates the question of criminal culpability in the case
of serial killers and other'mad' persons who are still thought to be legally responsible. The writer,
who is a distinguished psychiatrist in France and Lacanian psychoanalyst, examines the
reasoning behind the crimes of well-known serial killers like Henri-Désiré Landru, Pierre
Rivière, and Donato Bilancia. In order to examine how the structure and operation of the
psychotic subject relate to the social and legal standards that control criminality, the author
adopts a psychoanalytic method. According to the author, serial killers are not mentally sick;
rather, they experience a certain type of psychosis that makes it impossible for them to
understand the symbolic structure and the other person as a subject (Biagi-Chai, 2013). As a result of a misinterpretation of lunacy and a rejection of the subject's agency, the
author also critiques the insanity defense and the idea of reduced accountability. The author
comes to the conclusion that although serial killers bear some responsibility for their crimes, it
differs from that of other people. This source's dependence on the Lacanian idea of psychosis,
which may not be generally acknowledged or comprehended by other fields or perspectives, is
one of its limitations. Further limitation is that it fails discuss how biological, environmental, or
social elements might play a part in how serial killing behavior develops or manifests. The book
offers a unique psychoanalytic perspective on the responsibility of serial killers, contributing to
the theoretical framework of my research by addressing the psychological aspects of serial
killing.

The article by Briedik (2022) is an interdisciplinary study of two novels that feature serial killers
as protagonists: Iain Banks’ The Wasp Factory (1984) and Bret E. Ellis’ American Psycho
(1991).The author contends that both books question the typical depictions of criminal
syndicates in literature and provide understanding of their psychological and societal
circumstances. The primary characters, Frank Cauldhame and Patrick Bateman, both have a
different mental condition that is diagnosed and compared by the author using a combination of
literary scrutiny, the theory of psychoanalysis, and criminology. The author discovered that both individuals have various personality disorders, including
narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), and that their
violent behaviors are driven by various causes, including trauma, identity crises, and
consumption (Briedik, 2022). This source's limitation is that it mainly relies on the DSM-5
criteria for personality disorders, which may not adequately account for the complexity and
diversity of behavior among individuals and experience. I will be able to examine how serial
killers are portrayed in literature and how that could affect how the public perceives them in my
research report because of to the comparative viewpoint that this multidisciplinary study of
fictional serial killers will present.
Cummins, I., Foley, M., & King, M. (2019).
Serial killers and the media: The Moors Murders
legacy
. Springer.
The book by Cummins and colleagues explores the societal and media consequences to
the murders of five children and teens in England between 1963 and 1965 by Ian Brady and
8
Myra Hindley. In order to examine societal, the press, and cultural reactions to serial killing and
violence, the writers utilize the Moors Murders incident as a case study. In this book the authors
uses a multi-disciplinary analysis that draws on cultural studies, criminology, and sociology and
socio-legal studies. The authors use various sources of data, such as newspaper articles, court
transcripts, interviews, novels, films, and TV dramas, to examine the Moors Murders case and its
impact on the media and culture. According to the author, case of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley
reflect the changing attitudes and discourses on evil, psychopathy, gender, and punishment in
British society. According to the author, the modern cultural fixation on celebrity has extended to
serial killers, creating a lucrative and controversial “serial killing industry” that exploits the
victims, co-victims, and the public interest (
Cummins et al., 2019). The major conclusion made
by the authors is that the Moors Murders case is a significant and influential example of how
serial killers and the media interact and shape each other, and how they affect the public
perception and understanding of crime and violence. One limitations of this source is that it
focuses mainly on the British context and does not compare the Moors Murders case with other
international serial killer cases, such as Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, or Anders Breivik.in the this
source case will offer insights into the role of media and cultural factors in shaping public
perception of serial killers, which aligns with my research on the influence of media on
perceptions.
Federman, C., Holmes, D., & Jacob, J. D. (2009). Deconstructing the psychopath: A critical
discursive analysis.
Cultural Critique
, (72), 36-65.
The article by Federman, et al., (2009) is a critical analysis of the concept of
psychopathy, based on a Foucauldian perspective. The authors used a critical discursive analysis,
which is a qualitative approach that examines how language and discourse shape and reflect
9
social reality, power relations, and subjectivity. Using the approach the scholar analyzed
historical and cultural origins of the concept of psychopathy, as well as the contemporary
manifestations of the discourse of psychopathy in psychiatric texts and media representations.
The researchers also challenged the claims of objectivity and truth made by the literature on
psychopathy by exposing its contradictions, inconsistencies, and silences.
The authors contend that the development of a technological system of information that
can categorize anyone who diverges from the norm as a threat to community entails the
formation of the psychopath as a dangerous and terrible individual. They demonstrate how the
psychopath is created as an embodiment of power and control through a discursive study of
psychiatric descriptions of psychopathy, as well as media portrayals of serial killers and violent
criminals. The articles also highlight the social and political ramifications of the discussion
around psychopathy and dissect the mythic representation of the psychopath. Researchers come
to the conclusion that the psychopath is not an inherent or natural categorization but rather the
result of a particular historical and cultural environment that serves to support the use of
psychiatric authority and the growth of the criminal justice system. This source's lack of
empirical data or proof to back up its claims, instead relying primarily on theoretical and
conceptual analysis, and this is one of its limitations. By illuminating how language and
discourse shape the idea of psychopathy in regard to serial killers, this critical communicative
study of psychopathy will strengthen the theoretical underpinning of my research.

The goal of the study by Keatley et al. (2021) was to present a novel method for mapping
the past lives of serial killers. The authors of this paper examined an extensive collection of 233
male serial killers with known histories of childhood abuse (physical, sexual, or psychological)
using behavior sequence analysis (BSA). BSA is a method that makes it possible to spot trends
and changes in behaviors and occurrences over time. The authors contend that BSA can identify
patterns of serial killing, early childhood abuse, and murderous behaviors. The four categories
used by the writers to categorize serial killers are visionary, mission-oriented, indulgent, and
power/control. The 39 parameters utilized to code the crime scene behaviors include weapon
type, victim type, body disposal, and signatures. The results show that various actions at crime sites typically follow from sexual,
physical, and psychological abuse. For instance, sexual abuse is associated with more sexual and
cruel conduct, whereas physical abuse is associated with more violent and impulsive conduct.
The researchers come to the conclusion that BSA is an effective method for detecting serial
killers and understanding the timeline of their lives. Additionally, they call attention to a number
of the study's flaws, such as the lack of female serial killers, the investigation's reliance on
secondary sources, and potential bias on the part of the coders. Researcher may be able to profile
serial killers and learn more about the developmental processes that lead to their behaviors by
using the novel method (BSA) given in this article.

The goal of the article by Marono, Reid, Yaksic, and Keatley (2020) intended to present a fresh
approach for documenting the life histories of serial killers. The authors assert that early
childhood trauma, such as physical, sexual, or psychological abuse, can contribute to various
kinds of serial killing and crime scene behaviors. Researchers employ Behaviour Sequence
Analysis (BSA), a technique that illustrates the relationships between acts and occurrences
through time, to study a substantial database of 233 male serial killers who had been exposed to
abuse in childhood. According to the scholars, distinct crime scene conduct, such the use of
torture, dismemberment, or amputation, typically result from different types of maltreatment.
Furthermore, they go into great length on the various sorts of exploitation and behaviors that
some of the convicted killers in their cohort engaged in. The authors draw the conclusion that childhood trauma is a significant risk factor for the
behaviors of serial killers and that their approach can assist in profiling serial killers and
comprehending the chronological development of their lives. A disadvantage of this source is
that it primarily discusses male serial killers, leaving out transgender or female killers, who can
have different kinds of abuse and behaviors. A further limitation is that the database of serial
killers might not be complete or comprehensive since some killers might not have been
recognized, apprehended, or reported, or they might have misled or omitted details about their
maltreatment as children or their actions at crime scenes. This article complements Keatley et al.,
(2021) work by further examining the links between childhood abuse and distinct crime scene
behaviors among male serial killers, in the research it will contribute to a comprehensive
understanding of their life histories.

In their 2005 article, Mitchell and Aamodt investigate the frequency of childhood abuse
among 50 criminal syndicates who committed desire killings. The authors utilize a descriptive
approach to gather and evaluate the information, obtaining details about the serial killers' early
lives through biographical resources, publications, and web resources. The authors use data from
2001 to contrast the rates of mistreatment in the serial murderer sample to those in the wider
community. They characterize abuse as physical, sexual, psychological, or neglect. The authors
conclude that compared to the general population, mistreatment of all kinds—apart from neglect
—was much more prevalent in the group of serial killers. Specifically, 36% of the serial killers
experienced physical abuse, 26% experienced sexual abuse, and 50% experienced psychological
abuse, compared to 12.5%, 9.6%, and 7.6% in the general population, respectively. Neglect was
equally prevalent in both groups, at 18% ( Mitchell & Aamodt, 2005). The authors argue that
childhood abuse may contribute to the development of serial killers by impairing their emotional,
cognitive, and social functioning, and by creating fantasies of revenge, power, and control. The
authors conclude that childhood abuse is a common factor among lust killers, and that further
research is needed to understand the causal mechanisms and the implications for prevention and
intervention. Some limitations are the sample size is small and may not be representative of all
serial killers or lust killers additionally the sources of information may be unreliable, incomplete,
or biased, as they are based on secondary sources or self-reports by the serial killers. In my
research, this article will offers empirical data that will help substantiate the relationship between
childhood abuse and serial killing behavior.

The article by Reid et al. (2019) examines the developmental factors that contribute to the
emergence of sexual serial killers. The authors argue that previous research on serial killers has
focused too much on static traits, such as personality disorders, and neglected the dynamic
interactions between individuals and their environments throughout their life span. Using life
span developmental psychology as a framework, the authors trace the life course trajectories of
55 sexual serial killers and identify the key developmental mechanisms that shape their
psychopathology and motivations. The authors use a mixed-methods approach, combining
quantitative analysis of biographical data and qualitative analysis of case studies. The authors
find that sexual serial killers experience a “perfect storm” of adverse developmental conditions,
such as childhood abuse, neglect, attachment problems, social isolation, and cognitive
impairments, which lead to a distorted sense of self and others, a lack of empathy and remorse,
and a sadistic sexual orientation. The authors conclude that sexual serial killing is a complex
phenomenon that requires a comprehensive and integrative understanding of human
development. The authors point out some limitations of their study, such as the small and
heterogeneous sample size, the reliance on secondary sources of data, and the difficulty of
establishing causal relationships between developmental factors and serial killing. This study
adds a developmental psychology perspective, enriching my research by highlighting the
dynamic interactions contributing to serial killer psychopathology.

The dissertation by Saltzman (2023) examines the association between exposure to true
crime and fictional crime media with perception of serial killers. The dissertation proffers an
argument that exposure to different types of crime media may influence how people view serial
killers, their motives, their victims, and their detection. As such the dissertation method used is a
survey of 402 participants who reported their exposure to various crime media and their attitudes
and beliefs about serial killers. The dissertation found that exposure to true crime media was
positively associated with more accurate and less sensationalized perception of serial killers,
while exposure to fictional crime media was negatively associated with such perception
(Saltzman, 2023). One limitation of this source is that it relies on self-reported measures of
media exposure and perception, which may be subject to recall bias and social desirability bias.
Another limitation is that it does not account for the potential moderating effects of other factors,
such as personality, gender, and prior knowledge of serial killers. This dissertation will provide
insights into the role of media exposure, aligning with my research on media's impact on public
attitudes.
Tyrrell, K. (2001). The serial killer in cinema.
Alternative Law Journal
,
26
(6), 274-278.
The article by Tyrrell (2001) examines the representation of the serial killer in cinema,
focusing on how the killer is marked as deviant and dangerous despite his normative identity as a
white, heterosexual, middle-class male. The article compares and contrasts various serial killer
movies, including The Silence of the Lambs, Crime Time, Freeway, Post Mortem, Dark City, and
Serial Mom, among others, using a textual analysis method. The investigation, profiling, media,
victimization, and the perpetrator's motivation are only a few of the recurring features and
themes that define the serial killer genre. The author contends that serial killer movies vary in
1
5
their depictions of the killer as a hero, a monster, a product of civilization, or a force of nature, as
well as in their correctness and awareness of the sociological and criminological perspectives on
the subject. According to the article's conclusion, serial killer movies are intricate and varied cultural
texts that reflect and create the concerns and fantasies that society has towards the problem of
serial violence. According to the article, serial killer movies disrupt established ideas of what is
normal and deviant, and they also highlight the paradoxes and complexities of the serial
murderer as a figure of terror and intrigue. One limitation is that it does not consider the ethical
and political implications of the representation and consumption of serial violence in cinema, and
how it may affect the public perception and response to the real-world serial killers and their
victims. Tyrrell's analysis of serial killers in cinema will assist in exploring how popular culture
portrays serial killers and its implications for public perceptions in the context of my research.

UK news media.
Howard Journal of Communications
,
27
(4), 327-346.
The article by Wiest (2016) explores how U.S. and U.K. news media represent serial killers and
what these representations reveal about the cultures of these nations. The author argues that most
media portrayals of serial killers tend to present two images: the serial killer as monster and the
serial killer as celebrity. These images reflect cultural fears, insecurities, values, and ideals. The
author uses a qualitative content analysis of news articles published in the U.S. and U.K.
between 2000 and 2010 to examine the use of monster and celebrity imagery in the coverage of
serial murder cases. The author finds that U.K. articles include more monster imagery and U.S.
articles include more celebrity imagery. The author suggests that these differences may be related

to the historical, political, and social contexts of these nations, as well as the media systems and
practices. The author concludes that media representations of serial killers are not only
informative, but also performative, as they shape and reflect cultural meanings and identities.
The articles limitations is that the sample size is relatively small and may not be representative
of all news sources and serial murder cases in the U.S. and U.K. additionally, the coding scheme
is subjective and may not capture all the nuances and variations of monster and celebrity
imagery. This source will be helpful as it will inform my research on the cultural factors shaping
public perceptions of serial killers in different contexts.
Conclusion The reviewed literature provides valuable insights into the portrayal and social
construction of serial killers, particularly in the context of television, media narratives, and
academic discourse. Several central themes and gaps emerge from the summative analysis: to
begin with is the complexity of the serial killer; the bibliography highlights the multifaceted
nature of serial killers, emphasizing that they cannot be easily categorized or reduced to a single
explanation. Factors such as neurodevelopmental disorders, childhood abuse, personality
disorders, and social influences all play a role in their development and actions. Another theme
that has emerged is concerns on psychopathology and Mental Illness. The portrayal of serial
killers as mentally ill individuals is a recurring theme in media narratives. While some sources
argue that they suffer from specific disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or personality
disorders, others challenge the idea that they fit neatly within conventional psychiatric
categories. This ambiguity suggests a nuanced relationship between mental health and
criminality.

Impact of Media of media has also been a recurring theme; his influence of media on
public perception and understanding of serial killers cannot be overstated. Media representations
often oscillate between depicting serial killers as monstrous figures or celebrities, reflecting
cultural fears and values. This portrayal can shape public attitudes, potentially impacting social
policies and public opinion. The theme of Childhood and Early Life was also prevalent; s
everal
studies in the summative review explore the significance of childhood experiences, including
abuse and neglect, in the development of serial killers. Understanding the role of early life
factors in their portrayal as mentally ill individuals is a critical area of research. Many of the
reviewed sources have limitations, such as small sample sizes, reliance on secondary data, and a
lack of comprehensive cross-cultural comparisons. Additionally, while some studies focus on
psychological aspects, others employ interdisciplinary approaches or critical perspectives like
psychoanalysis and Foucauldian analysis.
