Criminal Minds Video

Recent studies made on patients who have committed terrible crimes show that most of these criminals have something wrong going on in their brains. Many years ago, before these studies had been made, people usually believed that murderers or rapists followed the devil or did these things out of pure evil boiling inside them. Dr. Louis is a famous psychiatrist who has met the most terrifying criminals out there and her studies have proven that all of them have a cause to the effect of their behavior. Whether mistreated, abused, or exposed to harmful deeds since childhood, or by suffering brain damage, the delinquents have an explanation. In the video we saw the story of a man named Terrance who killed his whole family simply because of a small fight with his spouse. When interviewed, he made jokes about the murder. This means that his brain does not know how to react to the situation at hand; it doesn’t know how serious or grave the circumstances are. It was later on figured that Terrance, before the murder, had a serious case of bipolar disorder and depression. As a child, his mother used to hit him with telephone cords and belts. When a child is raised in a violent home, just like Terrance did, they will probably grow up to be brutally aggressive without understanding why this is wrong. The video portrayed another situation in which a rapist and murderer of 11 women had suffered sexual abuse as a child. As a result, we can now understand these people are not born being criminals, they are created because of the type of environment they live at home. So before judging them depending on their acts, one must understand the life they had to endure with before exploding.
