WHAT MAKES SERIAL KILLERS TICK?

It was an urge. ... A strong urge, and the longer I let

it go the stronger it got, to where I was taking risks to go out and kill people risks that normally, according to my little rules of operation, I wouldn''t take because they could lead to arrest." Edmund Kemper That was a statment made by one of the most savage serial killers of our time.

Where does this urge come from, and why is so powerful? If we all experienced this urge, would we be able to resist?
Is would it genetic, hormonal, biological, or cultural conditioning? Do serial killers have any control over their desires? We all experience rage and inappropriate sexual instincts, yet we have some sort of internal cage that keeps our inner monsters locked up. Call it morality or social programming, these internal blockades have long since been trampled down in the psychopathic killer. Not only have they let loose the monster within, they are virtual slaves to its beastly appetites. What sets them apart?
