Profile of a Serial Killer

there are three types of serial killer that existed today. the first is 'Thrill Seekers'. They outsmarting law enforcement is a game, enjoys media attention, police pursuit, and evading the authorities. They send messages and keep records. Second is 'Mission Oriented'. They doing society a favor by eliminating certain people such as prostitutes. Third is 'Power and Control'. They enjoy the victim's terror, suffering and screaming. The term serial killer was coined in the 1970s due to cases such as Ted Bundy and David Berkowitz. According to an FBI Behavioral Unit study 85% of the world's serial killers are in America. At any given time 20 - 50 unidentified active serial killers are active. The usual victims of serial killer are prostitutes, runaways and transients. Experts speculate unsolved serial killings that appear to stop may be due to death, institutionalization, relocation or stopped killing. Some turn themselves in. A serial killer with Antisocial Personality Disorder may appear normal. Sometimes there is a common sexual element to the murders such as gender, occupation, appearances and race. According to Mike Rustigan, professor of criminology at San Francisco State University:

"With all of them, their motives tend to be total, deep and personal. They feel no guilt, no remorse and have an attitude of total disdain towards their victims"

So, once the serial killers show their vengeance, it will be hard for the victims to escape safely from them as they are very dangerous and harmful. by Ain Fatehah
