NEED TO KNOW
  • Men are 10 times more likely to murder than women, clinical psychiatrist says
  • 'Men typically kill for money, revenge and power,' he adds

In the midst of all the horrendous stories in the news recently, HLN’s Dr. Drew welcomed clinical psychiatrist Dr. Dale Archer who explained some of the basic differences between male and female killers.

Dr. Archer says men are 10 times more likely to murder than women, noting their motives are vastly different.

“Men typically kill for money, revenge and power,” he said. “With women, it is about love -- either someone they have loved, someone they currently love... their kids. So it's much more emotional when it comes to women.”
