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.
For men, there is usually a sexual element to their murders. At some point in their development they begin to associate sex and violence. When women kill it is usually for reasons such as financial gain. Serial killer Aileen Wuornos is a good example. Her crimes were thought to be sexual in nature, commonly seen in male killers. But Wuornos was the rule and not the exception. She killed her male victims for the simple fact that they possessed what she wanted. Money and a car. Killing them was the easiest way to get them. For Wuornos, sex or even control had very little to do with her crimes.
Based on a study of 113 serial killers in the Radford University Serial Killer Database, the mean IQ for serial killers is 101 and the median is 100. There is a tremendous range of IQs with a low of 57 and a high of 165.
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.
