That's the million dollar question. There's no way to do so right now. We don't have a solution because we don't even understand where the problem stems from. There are many hypothesis on how a serial killer is a serial killer, but none of them can give us a 100% insight to how they became who they became. Many serial killers have loads of things in common, like living in a dysnfuctional home and suffering head trauma as children. But we still can't find the problem. Until we know what the problem is, we cannot solve it.

What is the difference between a fictional serial killer like Michael Myers in Halloween and a real life serial killer?
I've never come face to face with a real serial killer, nor would i want to. The difference is, I'm pretty sure, a real serial killer would have to put up more of a fight for one, and the people that were chasing would have a little more common sense I mean think about it, if someone with a knife was chasing you through a house, would you run up the stairs? or down into the basement? NO! you would run out of the house screaming right? Second, unless you run, REALLY slow, a real serial killer, I'm pretty sure would have run after you, not walk at a normal pace and stay like 2 feet behind you at all times...

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.
