INTRODUCTIONIn this report, different mental state which impact on behavioural tendencies and turnthem into criminals have been discussed with special focus on school killings and massacres.. thereason behind these have been tried to identified in this report.MAIN BODYParental UpbringingAs per the view of Keatley and et.al. (2018) , serial killing is an extreme but rare crime and canoften be linked to the behavioural tendencies of killers. The research done by (Stone, 2001)points that in 54% cases, mistreatment by parents in childhood is the major cause of giving birthto serial killers followed by frequent moving as 16% and 30% due to biological injuries.Ellis, Clarke & Keatley (2017), states that Behaviour sequence analysis is the appropriate modelfor identifying the frequent traits and characteristics using mathematical and statistical tools. Inthis article, various behaviours and events that can trigger a serial killer were analysed usingBSA so that the killer could become more predictable. Upbringing was found to be a major causebehind serial killers.Keatley (2016), further states that serial killings can also be linked to school shooting and BSAmodel can be applied there as well. The Columbine-obsessed case of two kids whose identitywas not revealed but threatened shooting in a school in Riverland, South Australia was used tohighlight that mental status is major factor in shaping a person. According to Keatley (2018), theboys never intended to actually implement plan but the troubled state they were in led them toform such fantasies. They were regularly bullied and made fun of and this was their attempt toget back at them. Knives, armours and other tools were all part of this fantasy which made themfeel realistic about their plan. Marono and et.al. (2017), states that Behaviour Sequence Analysiscan be applied here as there were many symptoms in their behaviour like dressing up as schoolshooters at Hallowed, talking in similar language, giving threats to fellow students and teachersare all symptoms which are not taken seriously until something major happens and this disregardwas the thing that was triggering these boys to do something that would make people take themseriously.Mental IllnessAs per the view of Herrenkohl, Jung and Lee, (2017) the article main purpose is toexamine the effects of child treatment and examine the influence of cumulative victimization3
