Notes
1
This statistic is from Dr. Jonathan H. Pincus's
Base Instincts: What Makes Killers Kill?
(p. 115). Pincus's book, expertly written, I should note, makes the point that killers kill for reasons, and yet some of the reasons they commit these acts that we view as heinous might not be what we assume. Pincus argues that class, social status, and race all play a role in the reasoning behind some murders. After all, some people are evil, willing (and able) to do things we may never understand: and we may never uncover the
why
we are continually searching for when studying these cases.
