Do you believe there are more black or white serial killers?

As a general rule serial killers are white males between the ages of 25-35. (usually the first murder will occur in this age range) Of course there are black serial killers, Wayne Williams, the 'Atlanta Child Killer', is an example. Serial killers tend to hunt in their own ethnic group (race) but of course there are some that mix it up and then there is Jeffrey Dahmer who was white but his victims were black or asian. The Green River Killer, Gary Leon Ridgeway (white), killed mostly white female prostitutes but there were a couple of black victims. So there are no absolutes, just guidelines that help police narrow down the suspect list.

How long would it take to cure a serial killer?

You can't "cure" a serial killer. They may stop killing but they are not "cured". There are very specific (and few) reasons a serial killer will not continue to kill. If the crimes stop the list of possiblities are very short. The killer may have relocated for several reasons, fear of capture, or he may have relocated due to employment changes, have serious health problems, may have died, been incarcerated for different crimes. Or they may have begun to age, tapering off as the urge to kill weakens. These are the only reasons for a serial killer to stop killing.


Why is it better to know the identity of a killer?

How do you stop someone from killing if you don't know who they are. The first rule that homicide detectives learn is that most victims knew their killers. And this makes sense. Most people do not kill without reason. Any investigation starts at what is called the 'inner circle' or those closest to the victim. When all in the 'inner circle' can be eliminated, then they expand the circle outward. This is why serial murders are the hardest to solve. Stranger muder seems to be without motive or reason. There is reason but it is all the killer's reasons. Unfortunately, it usually takes multiple victims to establish patterns for police to figure out the 'who' of the equation. When serial killers are never named and brought to trial it leaves questions which give birth to legend, as in the infamous Jack The Ripper murders of Victorian age London or the Zodiac killer of the 1960's and 1970's California. The way to take down this type of killer is exposure. They need to be brought into the light for all to see. And what most people are amazed at when they first get a glimpse of this type of killer is they can't believe how 'normal' they look. And it's true. They look very average usually. If they looked like what they were it would be much harder for them to find victims.
