Differences and similarities between male and female serial killers

Magistrska naloga z naslovom Razlike in podobnosti med serijskimi morilkami in serijskimi morilci temelji na teoretičnem pristopu, kjer bom s pomočjo kritične komparativne analize znanstvene literature ter s prvinami diskurzivne analize serijskih morilk in serijskih morilcev ugotavljala razlike in podobnosti med njimi. Cilj naloge je pokazati, da so si, ne glede na različne metode, modus operandi in povodi za umore v samem bistvu zelo podobni. Najbolj jih zaznamuje težavno otroštvo, polno fizičnih, čustvenih in tudi spolnih zlorab, ki rezultira v serijskem morjenju. V magistrski nalogi bom pokazala, na kakšen način in zakaj je mati najbolj usodna ženska v življenju serijskega morilca, ne glede na to, ali je bila njena vzgoja sadistična ali posesivna, ter kako je k temu prispeval oče. Nazadnje se bom osredotočila tudi na medijsko reprezentacijo serijskih morilk in morilcev, ki je do žensk veliko bolj neprizanesljiva kot do moških, kar pa končno vpliva tudi na dojemanje javnosti.The master\u27s thesis entitled Differences and similarities between male and female serial killers is based on a theoretical approach, in which I will identify differences and similarities between them with the help of critical comparative analysis of scientific literature and elements of discursive analysis of male and female serial killers. The aim of the thesis is to show that, regardless of the different methods, modus operandi and motives for the murders, they are in fact very similar. What characterizes them the most is a difficult childhood, full of physical, emotional and sexual abuse, which results in serial killing. In my master\u27s thesis, I will show in what way and why a mother is the most fatal woman in the life of a serial killer - regardless of whether her upbringing was sadistic or possessive, and how the father contributed to this. Finally, I will focus on the media representation of male and female serial killers, which is much more unforgiving to women than to men, which ultimately also affects public perception of them
