Abstract:
This criminal activity is best known in the USA and the UK where the freedoms of society allow murderers to act out their psychotic murderers with the protection of rules that sure freedom of movement, rights in silence and privacy. in modern China the serial killer has emerged but with backward police and communication methods for detection that often kill for years until accidentally done more by luck than professional investigations. In this paper we will look at the patchy criminal profile of Chinese serial killers that is starting to emerge.
Background & Cases:
Even after a crime means losing face. ___ ___ ___ 0 ___ ___ 0 With this level of inefficiency and low level of intelligence and cooperation within and between police authorities it is it is arrest someone they pay the reward money to the police investigators not the public that provided the information to capture the killers. Most of the killers come from low educational backgrounds and rural up bringing from poor families which makes it even more surprising that they get away with their criminal activity for so long.
A few examples of serial killers in China it will be satisfied for the seriousness of the situation rather than go into detail, the writer will certainly give some general overviews, and (for those who would like to know more, then a quick search of Google will suffice to see many of these cases in more detail).

It is hard to compare the scale of the problem in the USA or EU It is hard to compare the scale of the problem in China and the amount of victims in each case is much higher than other countries reported otherwise otherwise the USSR where mass serial killers exist. to have a successful profiling system you first in to the first place place.
Criminal Profiling Background:
There are two profiling systems in the world that adequately finished and have had some success in detecting criticism and helping to apprehend them by assisting police to narrow down the suspicions in a case and to develop a strategy to capture them.
The most well known is the criminal behavioral unit of the FBI in the USA. It does not have any real science, it has a lot of historical data based on past serial killers and their motives, modus operanda, interviews with convicted serial killers for biographies and background. The FBI has a basic model that they train other security forces around the world to follow, one is, data assimilation, collecting information about each case, second, crime classification, looking at the type of crime for example organized or disorganized , third, crime reconstruction, looking at victim behavior as a clue to why they were chilled by the killer and fourth, profile generation in which an outline of the killers behavior and motives are assessed with demographics, physical profile and especially perpetrator type. rate of the FBI profiling is actually very low at only 17% of profiles actually this is thought to be due to the FBI 's methods are funda The other most well known known profiling methods are from the UK, principal led by consulting psychologists The British system was was not in the case The British system was wasted in the science is not fare much more than the FBI at 16% of the cases when reviewed led to an arrest based on profiling. The british system was more in-depth, looking at speech patterns, social constructs, interests and obsessions. This approach despite still missing over-all success just as with the FBI, was far more accurate when post analysis was applied. Detection or self confession, the pr (the most common way a serial killer is caught), other crimeinal was arrested by chance ofiles tended to be very close to the killers real life, habits and identity then they did not actually help to catch the criminal at the time.
Profiling in China:
As far as the writer is aware of it there is no profilers in China and probably very unlikely to happen due to one simple reason, there are no qualified criminal / forensic psychologists in China. Also the police here are in the main street crime orientated which is The education in at the police is not more than glorified security guards in the most cases. The education system at all levels Until they organize foolproof external examinations systems such as those in the UK and USA this will continue to be the case.
An Attempt at Profiling in China.
Here is a preliminary outline, but by knowing means scientific or proven. This is just an overview of the current situation from reports surfacing after convictions.
Gender: Almost always male.
Age: 20 - 35
Education: Failed high school can not read and write very well.
Background: Rural upbringing, countryside. Ex-army
Developmental: Mother only after divorce or abandonment.
Mental Health: delusional, grandeur, no empathy shown to victims.
Method: Suffocation, Knifing, Strangulation
Other motives: robbery
Lure / Victimology: money, offer of work
Trophies: Taken in most cases, belts, clothing, and jewelry.
Disposal of Victims: often buried, but some left at scene of crime.
Type of Victims: main female adults and children.
History: Most had some criminal backgrounds and prison sentences for lesser crimes.
Other: Cannibalism in one or two cases.
A lot of access to guns (as in the UK too) means most murder is committed using knives or strangulation methods Some societal restriction on the sale of hunting knives as in the UK would go to some of the hospitals using the mental health professionals is clearly a problem in China which is stuck 50 years in the past in the hospitals using Outdated psychiatric methods of drugs and support rural children who can not pay for schooling. police should cross reference their systems of information - Most of the killers at some point are still living at home with family - not loners as such - until they started to avoid the Most serial killers are statistically married with children unlike the assumed image of the lone lunatic. police - then moving about from province to province making them difficult to track and find.
Profiling in Fiction:
Cracker in which a psychologist helps the police crack all the difficult cases of murder by smart deduction based on psychological principals. However if you analyze the content most of the opportunities was the in fiction pure luck. In the USA, there was, Criminal Minds, this was in the beginning trying to be a serious attempt at using profiling in a scientific way but soon as most Other programs such as the CSI were more scientific but just as far from real end as any other TV ___ ___ 0 The conclusion is that TV psychology vastly over-estimates the abilities of criminal profiling and that in the real world it is just not that ess A new program called. Lie to Me, shows psychologists who use body language and micro-expressions to catch criminals out in a lie. This is pure fiction and not based on any reliable science at all.
Profiling in China:
They need to to allow them themselves to try to appreciate the support psychology could give them themselves to use them modern ways of looking at crime and victims. This is also difficult as most serial killers are executed cognitive interview techniques developed by cognitive interview techniques developed by the FBI model but also to allow for in-depth interviews of motives. It will certainly benefit China to have a Criminal Intelligence Squad That was made up of experienced detectives, psychologists and criminologists working as a team on any crime, country-wide, with full powers over the local police force to investigate major serial killings when they occur. just like the FBI & # 39; s BU team specials can be on call to the local police stumble and fail to protect the victims of crime. even before all this - you have to teach a period of criminal and forensic psychology available at university level and experienced teachers to give the courses. The universities tend to concentrate on the soft sciences in psychology such as child development and cognitive work with little attention to The hard sciences in abnormal psychology. biopsychology and abnormal psychology. other need subject scientists to do forensic work other than is subjective as in the example of the TV show that use the science as background to a drama about love and relationships within the characters of the show rather than project real life.
Conclusion:
The police are too unsophisticated and untrained to be able to handle real investigations. If it is not right in the education system or the wider society. Is not obvious - then forget it. Corruption with in the wholesale in all aspects of life and so paying off the system still happens if you are rich enough and the authorities are underpaid and under-educated and so an easy mark for taking money and turning a blind eye to crime.
The gap now between the middle classes and the rural poor is getting wider everyday and so creating the right conditions for crime In China everyone seeks money as a God and empathy for others is non-existent. Perfect society in which to lead major crimes against the person such as the serial killer.
