List of serial killers by number of victims

List of serial killers by number of victims
A serial killer is a person who murders two or more people, in two or more separate events over a period of time, for primarily psychological reasons.[1] There are gaps of time between the killings, which may range from a few hours to many years. This list shows serial killers from the 20th century to present day by number of victims (list of serial killers before 1900). In many cases, the exact number of victims assigned to a serial killer is not known, and even if that person is convicted of a few, there can be the possibility that he/she killed many more. Due to the complex nature of serial killers, their crimes, discrepancies caused by geographic location and/or time, and the investigations related to these persons results in difficulties in organization and ranking. To address this, multiple categories have been provided in order to more accurately describe the nature of certain serial murders.

Chicks With Guns Photo Book Doesn't Disappoint | Raw File Lindsay McCrum's new photo book Chicks With Guns is just what you think it is: Striking portraits of women with their firearms. What's unexpected, however, is the impact of the photos as a collection. If viewers don't personally know one of these gun-toters, McCrum hopes the book serves as an introduction to a growing community of 15 to 20 million women in the U.S. who own and use guns. “Usually women with guns are turned into comic book characters — Lara Croft, Kill Bill — and I thought it would be fascinating to find out who the real women in our country are who own guns,” she says. After three years and 280 photo shoots, McCrum chose 80 compelling and thoughtful frames for her book. Each photo is accompanied by quotes from the subjects about their history or feelings on gun ownership. For McCrum, Chicks With Guns is not an attempt to enter the ideological debate about guns. “I’m not in the judgment business and the photographs are not policy, nor are they advocacy,” McCrum says.

How Serial Killers Work" ­The Zodiac Killer. John Wayne Gacy. The BTK Killer. Ted Bundy. Son of Sam. Jeffrey Dahmer­. This kind of killer doesn't just "go crazy" one day and kill a lot of people. The term "serial killer" was coined in the mid-1970s by Robert Ressler, the former director of the FBI's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program. The FBI defines a serial killer as one who murders three or more victims, with "cooling-off" periods between each murder [source: U.S. According to a recent FBI study, there have been approximately 400 serial killers in the United States in the past century, with anywhere from 2,526 to 3,860 victims [source: Hickey].

10 Serial Killers you probably haven’t heard of Serial killers are a menace to society today. There are literally hundreds if not thousands active at this moment, all over the world. They hunt, stalk and kill their prey just as easily as a cat would a bird. It’s getting to the point where as a tourist in certain countries you have to be extremely careful. However, not all serial killers are high profile and some virtually go unnoticed and barely cause a stir when they are caught and put on trial. How these killers stay out of the limelight when they have done such horrid acts and stayed so un-talked about, is a mystery to me.

Aceasta este adevărata „faţă” a continentului antarctic, aşa cum arată sub scutul de gheaţă care o acoperă. + zoom Galerie foto (1) Sub platoşa de gheaţă care acoperă Antarctica, se ascunde un relief rămas, în mare parte, necunoscut până de curând. Recent, însă, a fost realizată, cu ajutorul unor tehnici speciale, cea mai detaliată hartă a Antarcticii, care prezintă continentul „nud”, aşa cum arată el sub calota glaciară. Harta digitală, numită Bedmap2, a fost creată de British Antarctic Survey, pe baza datelor adunate timp de mai multe decenii. Cu ajutorul acestor informaţii, a fost creată cea mai detaliată hartă a continentului sudic: cercetătorii au „decojit” digital Antarctica de stratul de gheaţă care o acoperă şi au dezvăluit astfel relieful terenului de dedesubt. Studiind aceste caracteristici, oamenii de ştiinţă pot înţelge mai bine modul în care Antarctica reacţionează la schimbările climatice. Gheaţa Antarcticii nu este imobilă, ci curge neîncetat spre ocean. Sursa: Wired
