Murder or Mistake? Mental Deficiencies of Murderers (2015)
Undergraduate: Kyndal Lemelin
Faculty Advisor: Leslie Frost
Department: Undecided
Throughout my research, I will be looking into the mental illnesses and personality disorders most common to killers and will analyze their role in the violent actions that arise. My thesis will attempt to uphold the idea that if these common disorders were more widely recognized and understood, it would be possible to take preventative actions that may alleviate the number of killings occurring by the hand of those who have violent urges due to psychological factors.
