The second trait I found interesting was narcissism. The purpose of manipulation with these criminals is to hopefully gain the trust of their victims and when it comes time, use everything they know about their victim to their advantage in successfully murdering them. A criminal like a serial killer is very observant, meaning they take the time to watch their victims and notice anything about their personality or even body language that they can use to their advantage.”Psychopaths look for vulnerabilities and try to use them against people, so you need to know what your vulnerabilities are”(Robins). In an online article it said, “serial killers are manipulative, but they’re also very good at making sure you don’t know you’re being manipulated”(Robins). It also can detect copycat serial killers, which can ultimately help find victims that are missing, help track down a killer if their on the loose, or even using it as a way to manipulate the serial killer mentally and trying to get answers out of them. Common traits in killers helps gain knowledge of how to understand them because a psychologist may be able to know the next move or explain why they killed a victim a certain way. When researching common traits of serial killers, what came to my attention were three different traits: manipulation, narcissism, and intelligence.
