Serial killers have also been found to have damage to the frontal lobe.
Albert Fish was a **********, torturer, murderer and cannibal. In the 1920s USA he ate children. He was found to have suffered frontal lobe damage as a child.
Fred West sadistic, serial killer between 1960 - 1980, he tortured and dismembered his victims (one was his daughter). He suffered frontal lobe damage after a motorbike accident, and further frontal lobe damage when he fell off a fire escape.
However, this theory is seen to be reductionist, as the damage is to other parts of the brain, as well as the frontal lobe. Also, serial killers have experienced abusive childhoods. Albert Fish was left in a orphanage at a early age and witnessed beatings daily and Fred West was abused by his father.
