I disagree. There's a fine line between exploiting the victims and making sure that their stories are told/grief adequately considered.
We just need to start holding ourselves to a higher standard and stop excusing immoral actions.
I'm one of those people that has a morbid fascination with the killers. Dave Cullen's book in
Columbine is like the holy grail on that score.
But we don't have to name them, and we don't have to put their faces on TV (or magazines or newspapers). At least not initially. There's got to be a better way.

You talk about human psychology, but take a moment and analyze the other side of that coin. Many of the individuals perpetrating these crimes are bullied or ostracized to the point of psychic break. One of their delusions (which, ironically, isn't that delusional) is their actions will elevate them to a status more popularly remembered than any of the people that once belittled them.
We've gotta stop that.
