A hot headed killer tends to kill only once, unless there are others around who 'got in their way' or they do it for some kind of thrill. This generally means they are easier to catch because an emotionless killer will probably think things through more and find it easier to throw the police off his 'trail'
there are very few true emotionless killers thankfully (except in films), motiveless murder tends to be due to some mental disorder and this means that other factors will exist making the killer just as easy to catch or easier to catch than hot headed killers.
Very true. What do you think drove the Ipswich killer though? I can't see any motive or need to kills those women, and now they have at least two suspects in custody, its got even more confusing!
to loose all respectable jargon, i'd just say he was nuts, theres a list of something like 300 recognised mental disorders, I imagine he will eventually be diagnosed with one of those.

I feel kind of sorry for him, the sort of treatments most psychiatrists will use on him make me think of the cliche 'a fate worse than death', I know he did kill all those women and its fairly unforgivable but really i think that what they will probably do to him is just worse.

Couldn't find a poll or thread about this topic, direct me to one if there is one......

See, this came up in the pub last night about the Ipswich prostitute girls who had been murdered. It was getting quite heated, and eventually my mate asked this question, which got us thinking (quite hard after a few pints) about the nature of this.

See, we reasoned a killer, not murderer, without emotion, is just like a soldier doing their job, but a hot-headed killer, killing with passion, is worse because they are letting love/hate/anger/ego get in the way of their judgement, and that they havn't thought things through enough. On the fip side, a person who kills without emotion can kill without motive, and is probably more dangerous than someone who is aggreived at someone or something, and lets their emotion guide them. I'm not advocating killing someone here, merely trying to get in the head of the person who killed those five girls, and how he might have been using his emotions at the time.

Open to opinions here, but please keep them as opinions, and no wasting someone else's, they are just as entitled to an opinion as you are
I agree...  In many ways, I consider second degree murder as worse than first degree (pre-meditated).

Premeditated murders usually occur for very specific reasons that do not repeat themselves later in the murderer's life.  Although serial killers usually fit the description of cold and calculated, most premeditated murder is out of revenge and is an isolated incident.

Murders of passion are often a sign of a lifestyle issue.  Quite a few people are killed in drunken brawls, and the murderer is often given a short sentence only to repeat this act at a later date.

True. Mostly though, the pre-meditated murders don't happen again because the killer is inside, but don't worry, I know what you mean. But the brawls are a tricky one, this was discussed in this poll   http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=43585    seeing as you can't tell who offended who over what, or whether it was intentional or just an accident.

It's almost as if the police want to label him as being insane, to seem less harsh. I mean, it's bad enough that they arrested two men but then decided that one of them probably didn't do it AFTER they ruined his life

Emotionless killer would be worse because if your being chased by a emotionless killer (hitman...im thinking that guy out of the game hitman) they would be thinkin g and be calm but a hothead would follow instinct and you could spring him

Depends on application. A hitman without emotion would likely be capable of taking out his target with minimum fuss. A hot-headed killer could storm into a mini-mart and stab everyone within. However, a hitman without emotion is going to be level-headed and sneaky. A hot-headed killer could be more predictable.

yep but i don't blame them, its a human nature thing, if you had to arrest murderers and you knew that they were going to spend a large portion of their lives behind bars afterwards then wouldn't it make your job easier if you thought that it was the lesser of two evils (the other being more murders), mind you the killer was a serial killer so its kind of obvious he's not normal anyway...

Which is why I keep wondering why they don't just lock him up for life! People have gone down for life for less clear cut and obvious cases, defending themselves and even for accidents!
