Anyway studying serial killers after they're dead works, too, but all criminals are going to die eventually so why not just wait a few years? In the mean time you can study their living brains, which are just as valuable to science, if not more.
As interested as I am in the criminal mind, why would we bother keeping them alive? We haven't learned anything about Dahmer, Bundy or Gacey that would prevent more serial killers. Most of the stuff we already use to track or find serial killers can be learned from studying the cases, without the input of the killer himself.


If we were to keep future serial killers alive, it'd be like a circus freakshow for psychiatrists.
