Born to be Killers attempts to get inside the disturbed minds of the people that commit these heinous acts. What possesses them to rape or kill someone in cold blood? Do they really believe they will not get caught for such abominable crimes? These are just some of the questions forensic psychologists and scientists are constantly trying to answer where the violent criminal is concerned.
The only way to get any sort of an answer is to try to get inside the minds of such criminals. Scientists need to find out everything they possibly can about the way the criminal mind works, and what factors contribute to make them the way they are.

Born to be Killers is a study of the chilling complexity and sometimes irrational twists that takes a crime beyond understanding. It studies the cases of children and adults alike, in which the cold-blooded cruelty, the cunning scheming and callous lack of reason in a killing, takes a crime into a different perspective.
