After completing Chapters 1 and 3 in your text you should have an appreciation for the complexity of what we classify or call mass, spree or serial killing. Now, we want to add a dose of reality — a complexity — to your existing knowledge.

For this writing assignment, I want you to read the attached document authored by a mother whose child suffers from severe mental illness. I also want you to watch the short video clip about Adam Lanza (the Newton Massacre killer). After reading/watching the video, decide how you want to respond to this new information. Here are some suggestions:

1. You could compare/contrast the reading/video with specific details from Chapter 1. For example, you could discuss how the mass murder classifications are not as straight forward as one might thing. Or, you could consider the ways in which the serial killer myths work or don’t work for people with mental illness or teens/young adults.

2. You could explore how mental illness should be considered in the case of youth and how the existing stereotypes work or don’t work in helping those afflicted with mental illness.

Liza Long participated in a Ted Talk series after writing “I Am Adam Lanza’s Mother“. Her call to action in terms of supporting individuals with mental illness is compelling.
