Abstract

Sociological factors can be defined as the social conditions that affect human behavior.

This paper seeks to explain serial crime, which is a behavior, through the lenses of some of these

factors. This research paper evaluates education, social structure and social class and childhood

trauma as some of the leading sociological factors in explaining serial crimes and why people

choose to engage in such crime through these factors. While the paper establishes a causal

correlation between serial crime and these factors, its also presents some opposing and

contradicting views on each and every factor as it relates to serial crime by employing some

theoretical framework for deeper and better understanding.

Keywords: Serial crime, education, childhood trauma, social structure and social class.
