Victimology:
This is where a profile looks at the facts surrounding the victims. It is not only vital to understanding the killer, but to maintain a proper perspective a person must realize that the victims are far more important than the killer. These are all innocent people like you and I who were killed by a deranged individual. And while it is natural to be fascinated by the perpetrator, we must not forgot that if it was not for the victims the killers would be ultimately insignificant. Anyway lets get going with victimology.
