...Richard Kuklinski in my opinion was a serial killer. Due to the abuse he received not just from his parents but also his neighbors and classmates this would be used as an excuse for why Richard did what he did. Richard upbringing was not like so many ordinary families where both parents lived in the house and both was involved in the child’s life, and there main focus was the best interest of the child. Richards’s parents were involved in his upbringing but in a way that caused him to lose a part of humanism which will cause harm to so many people. Because of the abuse his father bestowed upon him, and to his siblings this had an unfavorable outcome on Richard. Another thing that I believed that caused Richard to not have any emotions for life was he watch his father beat his older brother to death and made his mother lie to the police on what happened to his brother. Here are some of the things that took place in Richards’s life that are questionable to whether this cause him to become what he became or was it just an excuse for him to lean on. I will dig into some of his life and then do my comparison at the end of my brief summary of Mr. Kuklinski life history. Richard Kuklinski was a devoted husband and a father of three beautiful children living in a middle class neighborhood in Jersey City New Jersey. Mr. Kuklinski committed over 200 murders in a decade’s time which to this day was noted as the most murders committed by any one person in the history of the United States...

...Richard Leonard Kuklinski born April 11, 1935 was one of the most dangerous man in America. He was a serial killer convicted for three murders, but in reality was an actual hit man who kill more than a hundred people. He was given the nickname “Iceman” because he froze his victims to confuse the police their time of death. Leading a double life between his family and crimes Kuklinski joined the DeCavalcante crime family where he began his first real gang slays. He later got involved with the Gambino family to fulfilled more jobs. Richard relationship with his father may be the root of his behavior, killing any guy who reminds him of his father, he displays a very bipolar side. For Richard, killing were only contracts, he didn't view them out of personal affairs it was just business. It didn't matter the weapons of choice he use to murder his victims like knife, guns, cyanide, and a crowbar. He was the kind of guy who didn't have any attachment as long as the job got done. For me he falls into the category of Psychiatric Criminology because he displays a psychopath behavior. A psychopath is an individual who has a personality disorder, especially one manifested in aggressively antisocial behavior, and who is lacking in empathy. Being able to manipulated those around him and to be so unemotionally attached to them is what defined Richard Kuklinski. The “Iceman” in this case is that he so detail in his line of work that his “friends” will later turn into enemies, and see no problem...

...Born in Ohio in 1934, Charles Manson is notoriously connected to the brutal slayings of actress Sharon Tate and other Hollywood residents, but he was never actually found guilty of committing the murders himself. However, the famous Tate-La Bianca killings have immortalized him as a living embodiment of evil. Images of his staring "mad eyes" are still used today to illustrate countless serial-murder news stories. The Manson Family—including Charles Manson and his young, loyal dropout disciples of murder—is thought to have carried out some 35 killings. Most were never tried, either for lack of evidence or because the perpetrators were already sentenced to life for the Tate/La Bianca killings. In 2012, Manson was denied parole for the 12th time. Charles Manson I believe was not crazy but very clever individual. Manson had a group of people he referred to as his “family” he was a very manipulative man to the people around him. His followers numbering round the one-hundreds, also including a small portion of impressionable young girls. He had them all to believe without question that he was Jesus and his prophecies of a race war. Manson was not only influenced by drugs such as LSD but by art works and music of the time such as The Beatles song “Helter Skelter” from their white album. The first murders took place on August 9, 1969, at Roman Polanski’s Beverley Hills home at 10050 Cielo Drive. Manson chose his four most best comrades- Charles “Tex” Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia...
