Serial Killers: Psychopaths, Sociopaths and Narcissists

The most popular and in-demand criminology lecture-performance returns to Riga! “Psychopaths, Sociopaths and Narcissists: Serial Killers” is an entertaining and informative lecture where true-crime stories meet criminology, forensic psychology and dark humour. What makes one person a killer and another not? Are serial killers born or made? And why are some of them able to go unnoticed for years? In this lecture-performance, we’ll explore the world of psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissistic personalities through scientific facts and some of the world’s most notorious crimes. You’ll learn what characterises serial killers, how they are classified, how different their motives can be, and why some of the most dangerous criminals seemed completely “normal” on the outside. This is not a traditional academic lecture. It’s a light-hearted, engaging and sometimes shocking conversation about the dark side of the human mind, which will give you food for thought and make you laugh. The lecture is “delivered” by Rūta Treija, a lecturer in forensic psychology and criminology, GMBPsS. If you’d like to fully enjoy the content and atmosphere of the lecture and also have dinner, we recommend arriving in good time so you can settle into your seat before the lecture begins and enjoy both dinner and the lecture.
