Serial Murder and Social Learning Theory
-----------------------------------------
Hale (1993) applied the social learning theory to serial murder using case studies.
The social learning theory suggests that people learn new behavior through punishment and rewards.
But the serial murderer goes through a different process because most children go through some sort of humiliation during their life.
A serial killer is often introduced to a humiliating experience, and cannot distinguish between a rewarding and non rewarding experience, which is part of the social learning theory.
This causes the child to look at certain situations in a negative way, causing the child to become frustrated.
When the individual becomes frustrated from a humiliating experience from the past, the individual then choose vulnerable outlets for their aggression (Singer and Hensley, 2004).]]]

The child learns to expect humiliation or a negative situation from the past, which then causes frustration or aggression.
Case Examples:
Ed Gein was humiliated early in his life and later turned his aggression out on others. Gein was controlled by his mother, and rejected by his father as a child, and was often abused (Hale, 1993).
Ted Bundy chose his victims based on the resemblance to a former girlfriend who had broken their marriage engagement (Hale, 1993).
David Berkowitz had a sense of rejection stemmed from being adopted, and it was said he felt rejected and humiliated by the world.
In this case, Berkowitz turned to fire starting the vent his frustration as a child.
Later in his life, Berkowitz obtained a sexual transmitted disease which created more hatred for women, which he would later turn to kill random women (Fishman, 2006)6.
In all of these instances the serial killer was presented with some form of humiliation as a child, and learned to vent their anger through aggression.
