Douglas's studies on serial killers

Douglas's studies on serial killers, notably through the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit, analyze their psychological patterns to understand motivations and behaviors. He identified traits such as compulsive killing, a need for control, and often early childhood abuse or trauma. His research aims to profile killers, predict their behavior, and assist in criminal investigations. By examining case histories and behavioral cues, Douglas's work enhances understanding of these complex individuals, ultimately contributing to more effective detection and prevention strategies.
