Abstract

Serial murders are one of the reprehensible phenomena of human crimes today and are important topics of sociological, developmental, criminology and psychology approaches. Serial murders are not a new phenomenon and unique to one part of the world, but can be seen in all countries of the world and are a relatively rare phenomenon, but the negative effects of such crimes affect society. Serial killers are not the same in many ways, including their motives for committing crimes and their behavior at the crime scene. Serial murders are very important in terms of criminology and psychology because a person is able to kill more than one person. The occurrence of serial murders has an internal and psychological origin rather than an external and environmental origin. In fact, it is very important to explore the important question of why someone kills people serially and what are its preventive approaches. With this description, the focus of the discussion in this article is the etiology of serial murders from the psychological dimension and based on the personality disorders of the perpetrators and its preventive ways with an approach to the case of Mahin Qadiri with a descriptive-analytical method.
