XYY syndrome is an aneuploidy of the sex chromosomes in which a human male receives an extra Y chromosome. A popular misconception in the 1960s and 1970s that XYY males were more prone to criminal behavior led to several novels and TV series which exploited the idea with little regard to the science.
Wiki has a very comprehensive list of the world's serial killers. I also found a short blurb on Crimezzz.net.
There has recently been a suspected serial killer that has killed a young woman in Georgia and another in Florida. But it wasn't Norcross. The last info that I have found they were still tying the two together based on similar MO's. Many times with serial killers the public may know very little until a suspect has been caught. The FBI estimates that at any given time there could be 50 to 100 serial killers 'working' in the US. Since the US has the whopping majority of serial killers, %86 give or take, that gives us an idea about other country's killers.
The USA. /Actually I think you'll find that it is South Africa( I have researched Serial killers for over 15 years)....... I agree with the above answer, and a close second would be South America. Most have never been caught yet. ( I have researched Serial Killers for more than 20 years-I'm 51 years old) I believe that according to FBI statistics America contributes to apprx. %85 of the world's serial killers. The rest are usually found in other industrialized nations such as Great Britian.
Some information has come up from that state that the similarities between six murdered women found along roads in two rural Illinois counties in the past three years have authorities believing that a serial killer may be responsible for some of the deaths.
With so many serial killers not identified, there can not be statistics showing the population of the world's serial killer. 76% of the world's serial killers are in America is a statistic based ongoing studies. The United States only has about seven percent of the world's population, but has been home to over 76% of its serial killers.
Violent acts toward animals have long been recognized as indicators of a violent psychopathology that does not confine itself to animals. This doesn't mean serial killers start that way. Jefrey Dahmer was a animal lover. Some disected animals were found when he was a little kid but those animals were found dead by him before bleaching the bones.
no.
Yes, Downs Syndrome is found in USA
You must be referring to the 'serial killer shrine' that was found in Tennisse. Made by local teenagers, the shrine included such serial killers as Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy and David Berkowitz.
Turner's syndrome is only found in females.
Most experts agree that at any given time, there could be as many as 200 serial killers active in the US alone. World Wide it would increase, of course. The average serial killer can be responsible for up to 20 murders if they are caught. Keep in mind that some of these killers may never be caught. That would put their body count even higher. The average time frame to catch a serial murderer is 18 months. This is much less time than it used to be. With modern forensics and criminal profiling it is taking less time to apprehend such criminals.
Although most serial killers suffer from at least one of a variety of personality disorders, including psychopathy and anti-social personality, most are not found to be insane under the law. Serial murders need planing so intent will be proved beyond doubt. There are some cases that mental incapability aplied but most cases will not go througt like that. For those charged with serial killing, the best way to go is to keep quiet during the hearing. The worst he can do will be defending himself in court.
