I have no point of personal reference for serial killers or other premeditated murderers. So I can't really be afraid of them. Something has to be considered to be "real" in a sense for you to be afraid of it. As in you can see yourself experiencing that situation and feeling the shock of the victims. Until you can experience that then you won't truly be afraid of something.
I know that serial killers, rapists, terrorists, and other nasty people exist. I just can't see myself being personally confronted by them.
One story you should probably make the students read is Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Plus the story is short. It can be read in one sitting. The story is dated, but the moral is still quite relevant. Everyone has a darkside. Everyone can commit manslaughter under the proper circumstances. Anyone's personality can be drastically changed by drug use, so much so that they can seemingly become another person. Under the right circumstances and under the proper settings normal people can become horrible monsters. The best of us is able to fall to the dark. The fall is just that much more shocking when that person is considered to be of "high moral standing".
