According to a book released in 2012 entitled Rise of the Black Serial Killer: Documenting a Startling Trend, by Justin Cottrell, the number is at least 836, or roughly half of all known serial killers.
It is estimated that about 10% of the general population is left-handed. However, there is no conclusive data on the percentage of left-handed serial killers specifically due to the complex and rare nature of criminal behavior.
It is difficult to provide an exact number of active serial killers at any given time. Estimates vary depending on what criteria are used to define a serial killer, and many may still be undiscovered or unidentified. Tracking and identifying serial killers is challenging due to the complex nature of their crimes and patterns.
Serial killers come from all levels of society. Very few have a lifestyle that enables them to earn high salaries. Very few have a lifestyle that exposes them to public scrutiny as a rich person might experience. The majority of serial killers have come from ordinary, everyday jobs, menial or part time jobs, or little regular employment. Placing an income range for a serial killer isn't possible since serial killers operate in different societies, countries, and time periods.
There is no single reason for why serial killers commit their crimes, as motivations can vary widely. Factors that may contribute include childhood trauma, mental illness, a desire for power or control, and a lack of empathy or remorse. It is a complex combination of psychological, social, and environmental factors.
Based on studies of Serial Killers (killers who have more than three periodic kills with cooling off periods, i.e. not all at once), performed by the FBI at their Quantico facility, and also U of Penn., it appears that far more serial killers are white than non-white. This seems to be true even in locales where there are equal or greater numbers of non-Caucasians. There may be some flaws in this study. When I read it, there were only 36 serial killers included, of which only 3 weren't white. 36 is far too small a number to draw statistical inferences from accurately, although 12:1 odds can't be ignored. Also, serial killer reporting only started in its roughest sense in the late 19th century, and not until the 1970's or so did it acquire momentum in law enforcement, psych, behavioral and criminological circles. So we can fairly assume that (a) especially in the early days, not all serial murders were reported or examined and (b) 36 is way below the actual number of serial killers internationally. Note also that military or police operatives that have many kills to their name (snipers for instance) are not in any way factored into the studies I've seen. In summary, at this time all reputable studies seem to indicate that the percentate per capita of serial killers white versus black show Caucasians seem to commit this crime far more often than blacks. The reasons for this are unknown at this time. Re.: as described in Sexual Homicide Patterns and Motivesd, Ressler, Burgess, Douglas, 1988.
READ, Rise of the Black Serial Killer, by Cottrell. Why you don't hear about them? Read The Myth Of the African American Serial Killer.
There are no precise numbers for the African continent but South Africa has 18 confirmed serial killers. According to FBI statistics %76 of serial killers are American. Europe has %17. Great Britian, Germany and France have %68 of Europe's total serial killers. This makes up about %93 of the entire world's serial killers from these four countries. The remaining %7 are disbursed over remaining countries. Although South Africa's serial killers seem to be on the rise, it still is a very small amount percentage-wise compared to the above countries.
