Consider the sociological, psychological, and biological influences of multiple murderers. Choose one of the following mass murderers:

  • Jared Lee Loughner
  • James Holmes
  • Seung-Hui Cho

  • Provide the available information that describes the killer’s background (education, mental issues, criminal history, etc.).
  • Summarize the events surrounding the crime.
  • Identify and analyze which theory or theories best apply to this particular mass murderer. Explain why this theory is correct.
  • Discuss whether the case led to any changes in laws, police procedure, school security, etc.

Support your responses with examples.
