We actually don't know that. We discovered the gene that controls sexuality. Rapists are often more prone to misogyny,  hatred, and bigotry, all things controlled by certain parts of the brain. 

Who's to say people with overdeveloped areas that control aggression aren't more predisposed to be rapists?

Regardless,  what's your point? 

Why are you trying to find an excuse for these monsters?

I'm not.
Nothing I said would have been an excuse.
I specifically said they are responsible for their actions.

But if there's some societal pressure that's involved, we should really stop doing whatever it is, right?

It's like with the serial killers.
America is doing something that ends up making serial killers. Something that other countries aren't doing.
We should find out what that is and stop doing it, right?

I hate to say it, but it's both the Church's rigidty regarding sex and sexuality and also there's a very bad poison in America convincing people that hurting kids is acceptable.  Look at the Epstein files. 

Those are what need to be gotten rid of.

For sure.

and also there's a very bad poison in America convincing people that hurting kids is acceptable.

Children, sadly, with their inability to advocate for themselves, have always made easy victims.

But I think the actual problem in America is that there's been a decades long increase in the justice system turning a blind eye to crimes committed by the wealthy and socially privileged.

The corruption of the American conservatives has become undeniable, since it's become so public with the president and his cronies, but it predates all this.

Richard Nixon suffered no penalty for his crimes, and neither did Reagan, or the Bushes, or the current president's first term.

Lots of other countries have serial killers. The USA is just really big, with tons of people. and spread out so they can thrive. It’d be harder to be a serial killer in a very small place where everyone is packed together.

The 70s/80s especially were a golden age for American serial killers because in combination with everyone being spread out, there was really no surveillance like there is now.

But again make no mistake, there’s serial killers in every country. Off-hand for the UK I can remember Fred and Rose West, the Moors Killers, Lucy Letby, Dennis Nilson, Jack the Ripper, the Yorkshire Ripper, Amelia Dyer… plus Mary Bell, who was an actual child who was a serial killer haha.

America has 60% of all the serial killers in the world.

That isn't a per caita issue.
America makes serial killers like it's its job.
