There are several reasons why serial killers pick women. Almost all serial murder is about sex in some way. Even if the victim is not raped there will be other signs that the killer leaves that gives clues into his mindset. Jack The Ripper never raped any of his victims yet his were sexually motivated. The Zodiac of No. California never raped any of his victims, yet again there were certain sexual elements to his crimes.
Women as victims are simple for many killers. If the killer has sexual problems it seems logical he won't take out his anger on men. (unless he's homosexual) Women by their very being make for easier victims. They are smaller, weaker, and conditioned 'not to make a scene' from their earliest childhood. Also, many murder victims of serial killers have been known to work as prostitutes. That alone puts them in a higher risk factor. Prostitutes pick up strange men as a matter of business. The are frequently working in areas that are dangerous and have high crime rates. They also move around alot. If a 'working' girl has not been seen for a while, well that's just part of the job. And last by not least, working girls avoid the law. When you put all these triats together you get the perfect victim.
Serial killers may target women for various reasons, including perceived vulnerability, societal biases, personal history of abuse, or a need for control and power. Some killers specifically target women due to deep-seated misogyny or a desire to exert dominance over them. Each case is unique, and motives can vary greatly among different offenders.
Several studies suggest that male serial killers tend to be motivated by power, control, and dominance over their victims, while female serial killers often have motives related to financial gain, attention-seeking, or caregiving gone wrong. Additionally, men may target strangers more frequently, while women tend to target individuals they know personally.
There is no specific average IQ for serial killers as intelligence levels can vary widely among individuals. Research suggests that some serial killers have had above average intelligence, while others have had below average intelligence. It is important to note that IQ is just one factor and does not determine a person's propensity for criminal behavior.
Well, that's a good question. Why does anyone kill? There are plenty of theories, but barely any of them cover the motives of convicted serial killers. There are many theories as to why serial killers do what they do (avatism, lust, insanity, etc) but nothing can give us a complete and straight answer.
Some common problems between serial killers include a lack of empathy or remorse for their victims, a desire for power and control, and often a history of childhood trauma or abuse. Additionally, many serial killers exhibit patterns of manipulation and deceit in their relationships and interactions.
There is no direct correlation between being a serial killer and listening to metal music. It is important to remember that musical preferences do not determine a person's behavior or actions. Serial killers come from diverse backgrounds and have various interests, like any other group of individuals.
