Murderers have historically been grouped together into a single group and have generally been considered a homogeneous population. Research results on murderers in comparison to non-murderers have produced mixed results when murderers were treated as a homogeneous population, making it difficult to predict risk factors and obtain consistent treatment outcomes on individuals with a history of a murder offense. Upon closer inspection of the murderer population it has been theorized that murderers make-up a varied group of individuals with different motivations, behaviors, and thought organization. These differences may account for the mixed results of earlier research. More recent research has attempted to classify murderers into different categories based on situational variables and objective measures such as the MMPI. The current study postulated that there are two primary types of murderers—those who commit predatory violence and those who commit affective violence. It is further assumed that those who murder strangers were more apt to be predatory while those who murder familiar victims were more likely to commit affective violence. The MMPI-2 was used to determine the personality differences between the two groups which may aid in identifying one type of murderer over the other. Participants consisted of 37 male prison inmates convicted of murder. The group was divided into those who knew their victims prior to the offense and those who chose victims they considered complete strangers. Slight differences were found between the two groups. The only factor that reached a statistically significant level was the difference in Scale 2 (depression) scores. The results suggested that those who knew their victims prior to the murder tended to report greater levels of depression. Upon visual inspection of the data, slight differences were noted between the two groups on scale 4, scale 6 and the F-scale supporting the hypothesis. However, these differences were not statistically significant. The overall differences in scales 2, 1 and 6 scores taken together best distinguished the familiar-murderer group from the stranger-murderer group which supported the current research hypothesis. Further research is needed to confirm the validity of the proposed construct of the two types of murderers.
