The psychological debate of nature vs. nurture is one that has been considered and contradicted for many years. This debate is so controversial because although it is fact that genetic makeup does play a major role in developing a person, the nurture and environment in which a person is brought up in is also an important factor.

Kuklinski got the name “The Ice Man” because of one of the many murders he committed. He was paid to kill a man but was told to hide the body. He kept the body in a freezer for about 2 years then took him out and left that body in woods. When the authorities found the body the coroner noticed that although it was hot day, the inside of the body was frozen. Richard had many ways of killing people. He even said he got some of his methods from cartons. He said “Tom and Jerry had really good ideas on how to torture and killed.” Richard was an expert in using cyanide (the same chemical used in gas chambers) to poison people. He would get it in liquid form and put it in their drink or merely dump it on them in a bar, where it would go through their pores and into their bloodstream, eventually killing them. His methods of disposing of bodies consisted of putting them in cars that were crushed, sides of roads, park benches, steel drums, and body’s water. Over the course of 37 years, Kuklinski (a.k.a. The Ice Man), ended the lives of several hundred people usually premeditated hits ordered by many of the East Coast crime families. Sometimes through spontaneous stranger killings resulted when personal conflicts revealed a dreadfully bad temper. He was the number one problem solver for organized crime. He became so great at what he did that he was the number one guy. He was respected in his environment as a paid killer. Kuklinski was …show more content…
Are serial killers born with the lust for murder, or are their desires developed through years of abuse and torment? Many believe it is impossible for an innocent child to be born with the capability to commit a horrible act such as murder. But at the same time, can corrupted society hurt or impact so much as to turn an innocent child into a homicidal maniac? I believe that Kuklinski became a great serial killer or human predator, as so professional have referred to him, killing more than 200 people before he was ever looked at as a person of interest. It safe to say the Anna and Stanly kuklinski were the most awful parent, especially for a child with a learning and behavior disability. Bad parenting and terrible interaction with other kids and adults led him in this horrific path. Contribution to his life were the deficiency of love, positive attention and shortage of minimal respect, and having to grown up in an area [Jersey City, New Jersey] that was saturated with crime. It was easy for him to see it, know it, and get caught up in it. Richard did not have a chance. He was abused at home. He learned to murder and get away when his father killed his brother. He learned that it is better to abuse then to get abused at home and when he took to the street thing got worse. I believe it was a combination of both nature and nurture. We could
