Serial murders are actually decreasing in numbers.

Things that contribute to increases/decreases in serial murders:

~Increased media coverage leads to the perception that serial murders are increasing in numbers.

+Newer technology makes it easier to kill people.

+Bigger cities have led to people having overall less community connections.

-More populated areas make it less likely for people to be completely isolated.

+More people -> More serial murders.

-More psychiatric and mental health treatment is now available.

+The relative abolition of the death penalty makes it more likely that previous murders will return to society and commit another murder.

Why is Charles Manson called a serial killer when his family did the mass murders over a two night period. There was no serial involved?

By the FBI definition of a serial killer, the body count has to be over three, in different places with a cool-off period. While Manson did not commit the murders himself, he was greatly involved and was a conspirator to murder rather than a purpetrator. There were to separate murders that took place with many victims involved, so it is considered a serial murder case.
