Serial Killer Mind
In the last three decades the USA has been troubled by an approaching problem,
the serial killer. A serial killer is a person who kills a number of people,
usually considered over five, with a cooling off period between each murder,
usually one murder at one given time). Two murders at one time occasionally
happen and these murders may go on for a period of months or years until the
killer is caught. Throughout the last three decades the US serial killer rate
has risen 94% and it is estimated that by the next millennium it will claim an
average of 11 lives a day. Serial Murder is an epidemic; there are at least 35

very closely and may change it with experience. Most murders occur by

fantasy based with their control, they usually live in this dream world in their
teens until they act it out for real when they get into the adult stage. As each
murder occurs a serial killer may be disappointed by his murder fantasy and may
act it out again to achieve it to there own satisfaction. CHARACTERISTICS OF A
SERIAL KILLER: 1. Killings are separate ('serial'), occurring with greater or
