A event on Friday 21st January. The event starts at 21:00.


Are serial killers born or made? One thing that we know for certain is that a child's upbringing can put them at risk of becoming a killer or as FBI Profiler Jim Clemente explains: "Your genetics load the gun, your personality aims it, and the events in your life pull the trigger."

How To Raise A Serial Killer is an informal talk which incorporates case studies and interviews to illustrate how an innocent child can grow into a cold-blooded killer.

We will look at the childhoods, adolescence years and shocking crimes of the following serial killers to determine exactly what went wrong along the way... Ed Kemper, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Aileen Wuornos, Richard Ramirez, John Wayne Gacy, Gary Ridgway, Peter "Yorkshire Ripper" Sutcliffe, Richard Kuklinski, Fred and Rose West.

This talk will also include:
- Traumatic head injuries and the link to serial offences
- Three types of mothers most likely to raise a serial killer
- Why kids will kill

Hosted by Crime Viral founder and serial killer expert Cheish Merryweather. This is a live and interactive talk - so expect quizzes, polls, and a Q&A session.
