Serial Killers. You know what you have to do. Just do it.

A serial killer is typically a person who murders three or more people, usually in service of abnormal psychological gratification, with the murders taking place over more than a month and including a significant period of time between them. Different authorities apply different criteria when designating serial killers. While most set a threshold of three murders, others extend it to four or lessen it to two.
Although psychological gratification is the usual motive for serial killing, and most serial killings involve sexual contact with the victim, the FBI states that the motives of serial killers can include anger, thrill-seeking, financial gain, and attention seeking. The murders may be attempted or completed in a similar fashion. The victims may have something in common, for example, demographic profile, appearance, gender or race.
There are books and movies.
Fish Albert is the most known serial killer. It is an American which killed 4 victims.

A serial killer has no connection between himself and his victim. In other words, he doesn't know his victim until he chooses her.
Police and gendarmes will therefore have to use "profiling" to try to identify it.
In particular, they study the modus operandi used to commit the crime. This analysis makes it possible to make connections between different homicides committed in the same region and possibly attributable to the same individual. Further research can lead investigators to identify the criminal's "signature", which is distinct from the mode of operation.

If this type of criminal seems to be acting with no apparent motive but with a deep motivation.
Psychiatrists, psychologists and criminologists are therefore working to decipher this motivation. Indeed, the serial killer kills by fantasy. The serial killer's motor is the feeling of omnipotence provided by his crimes, which are usually sex and death.

But many serial killers have experienced violence or sexual assault during childhood.
A serial killer is not physically and socially distinguished. He can lead a normal social life: for example, the killer Dennis Rader, who was active in the 1970 and was arrested in the 2000, had a wife and children, had worked in a security agency before working in a church.

A serial killer is a homicide criminal who he reiterates in time (he often appears in fictional police novels). Usually the killer does not know his victims, that is what the police have a lot of trouble finding these criminals. The serial killer kills because the crime committed gives him power and his crimes bind sex and death. The serial killer is considered to be the result of 3 murders in different places: in 1991, Hickey ranks them in 3 categories: one-place, one-territory or itinerant killer (depending on where the homicides take place). It is a topic where there is much to say but from my point of view, what fascinates me most in a serial killer is his way of killing people in cold blood without any questioning and that this act satisfies him , in addition to that some crimes are committed in atrocious conditions.

The term serial murder was popularized in the 1970s by Robert Ressler, an investigator. It was a person who kills other people during a period and who experiences pleasure. Albert Fish is the most known in USA and in England dr john bodkin adams with 163 murders.

Hugo, it's homework, not classwork.

The Jack the Ripper murders occurred in the East End of London in 1888.If, as is generally believed, Jack the Ripper had only five victims, then he wasn't a particularly prolific murderer, compared to many who have come since, and the fact that his so-called reign of terror lasted a mere twelve or so weeks means that he wasn't at large for a particularly long period of time.
