Scientifically speaking, why do some people decide to become serial killers?

There's as many reasons as there are killers.

Mostly, I'd say it's a matter of power. Often a serial killer feels powerless in their day to day life. Commonly this is a deeply embedded response to (physical) childhood trauma where the child is physically powerless to stop a savage beating, etc. The mind fixates upon the sensation and desperately seeks it's relief. Well that's just one reason, but a common theme.

All wrong. Neurological studies on serial killers have shown that the impulse to kill is caused by a genetic defect which reduces the amount some chemical (I can't remember and CBF looking it up) and with treatment these impulses can go away.

Jeffrey Dahmer was "cured" of homicidal impulses with medication the regulates this chemical.

Elevated serotonin levels have been found in every studied serial killer. Serotonergic drugs are highly overrepresented in mass shooters. Serotonin makes you violent and low in empathy.

Because they are genetically more prone to violent behaviour and hatred towards other people.

i have never killed yet if i were to id create an overlaying pattern like only going for criminals but then create sub patterns like only going for rapists one month and so on id probably also gather their spit for some dna evidence of the kill
id say all this is the reasoning behind the killings though deep down it boils down to pure satisfaction, disdain for life and a feeling of control but ive never killed so i cant say

Many of them discovered that the sexual thrill of killing someone was was so overwhelmingly intoxicating that they couldn’t stop doing it. Most cases it’s sex primarily, power a close second (in some cases equal to)
