Aileen Wuornos can be classified in not only one group, but several groups such as a psychopath, disorganized asocial offender, nonsocial offender, and also a hedonistic killer.
Aileen Wuornos inherited her psychotic ways from her father. Aileen is slightly self-centered and also a good liar. She made comments such as “I killed in self-defense” and “If I hadn’t killed him he would have raped me” meaning that she believed the victim was responsible for it. When Aileen had gotten bored and wanted some pleasure in her life she would commit crimes.
Aileen can also be classified as being a disorganized asocial offender. She is classified as this because she has a very low IQ and was also non-athletic in her teenage ages. Her home lives and childhoods weren’t very good and her parents were not around to raise her. She also is a high school dropout due to a low intelligence and a general feeling of not belonging. Her lack of intelligence with a lack of education causes most asocial killers to only find unskilled or labor jobs.
When Aileen committed her crimes she showed a sense of premeditation in two ways; she actively looked for victims and brought the weapon to the scene. This shows that shes planning a nonsocial offender. Nonsocial killers feel comfortable in large open spaces such as the highways where she killed her victims on. Some say this highway could be considered her comfort zone as they were where she worked.
Aileen Wuornos shows signs of being a hedonistic killer because she's a comfort killer. Comfort killers conduct their murders for personal gain. In this case she prostituted for money to first look for men with money also that had very nice cars. Prostitution was her excuse to be on the road flagging down men who drive nice cars and to get in their cars. After killing the men she got in the car with them and then proceed to take their belongings and then pawn them off for the best price. Money was her only motive.
