Mind of the Serial Killer
Fri, May 17, 2019 57 mins
The prototypical careful, white, male, genius serial killer of young, affluent, attractive women for sexual gratification is a myth. These represent a small minority of serial killers and their genius is predominantly dumb luck. A substantial percentage of serial killers are black, Hispanic, homosexual or women a few of whom are biographed. Their prey is almost always easy victims who are isolated or on the margins of society. Their reasons for killing are diverse but are generally thought to relate to the need for power or control.
