Does anybody know why bedwetting is a warning sign? Animal cruelty and pyromania are self-explanatory but people who haven't studied psychology wouldn't really be able to presume why.

[edit] Uncited paragraph

Removed uncited material:

This Triad, developed in 1963, has been called into question by other researchers.[citation needed] These researchers note that children and teenagers who set fires or harm animals may do so for many reasons, including boredom, imitation of adult punishment of household pets, exploration of a "tough guy" identity, or feelings of frustration.[citation needed] It is thus difficult to know whether these variables are in fact relevant to serial murder etiology and, if so, how precisely they matter.

"Researchers"? Which researchers, what research? Feel free to reinstate if proper citations are found. -- Joie de Vivre 22:04, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
