 The aetiology of serial murder
MacDonald (1963) found early childhood behaviours such as enuresis (bed-wetting), firesetting and torturing animals to be common in the background histories of multiple sadistic killers.
Although the MacDonald triad may represent a repetitive finding (an oddity in a sea of characteristics posited as important in the development of serial murderers that in reality only occur anecdotally in one or two cases), we should be careful not to reduce the finding to the cartoon depicted in Figure 5:
A retrospective study is needed to examine the prevalence of the MacDonald triad in a population of children that have grown up to become normal adults.

 Firesetting as a predictor of violence [Fact sheet]
The three behaviours are commonly referred to as the MacDonald triad.
Evidence for the triad's predictive power is not robust however, with most support drawn from limited clinical samples.
An early study by Hellman and Blackman (1966) found support for the association, with 23 of 31 aggressive patients in a psychiatric treatment centre having a history of all three components (compared with seven of the 53 non-aggressive patients).

This "MacDonald Triad" is composed of fire setting, enuresis (bed-wetting), and cruelty to animals.
However, other research suggests that this triad is only a "repetitive finding" in serial killers and that there are other signs, such as being a victim of sexual abuse, that may be more indicative of future serious violence.
Also, there is no research to show overall "the prevalence of the MacDonald Triad in a population of children that have grown up to become normal adults".

Children who mistreat wild and domestic animals are not all victims of violence, but the facts show that children who systematically abuse or torture animals are more likely to commit serious crimes when they become adults.
In fact, cruelty to animals is one of the components of the MacDonald triad, the behaviours in children and adolescents common to most psychopaths and serial killers.
