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.

Write to Ramirez at:

The first thing is that DeSalvo was never proved to be the Boston Strangler:

On 27th October, 1964, he entered a young woman's home posing as a detective. He tied his victim to the victim's bed, proceeded to sexually assault her, and suddenly left, saying "I'm sorry" as he went. The woman's description to the police led to his identification as Albert De Salvo, with the publication of his photo resulting in women coming forward in droves identifying him as the man who had assaulted them. At this point, De Salvo was not suspected of being involved with the spate of stranglings that had taken place over a period of nearly two years, and wasn't until he was being held on a rape charge that he confessed in great detail his activities as the Boston Strangler.

However, there was no evidence to substantiate his confession, and as such, stood trial for earlier, unrelated crimes of robbery and sexual offences. He was sent to prison for life in 1967, but was to be murdered six years later while in his cell.

Some people do glorify serial killers. Museum are made to display their past properties. Museums are good and some people visit them for curiosity without glorizing them and some people that gloriy them also visit them. Wikianswers and myself doesn't glorify serial killers. Persons that glorify serial killers is fenomenom that few persons could explain or give you a reason why.

The real deal with people glorifying killers is that there is a part of their Psyche that relates of that of a serial killer. Usually this is a small part of them that will remain for the most part buried and can only surface in non threatening actions such as glorifying killers making them heroes of sorts fa filing a small fantasy.

Stranger murder is one of the hardest types of murders to solve. But the FBI has put a lot of effort into the indentifing and capture of serial killers. Criminal profiling, although not an exact science, helps decipher psychological clues left by the killer, either on the body or crime scene. Fingerprints are now compared by computers and any matches take only seconds in some cases. Forensics plays heavily in the detection of the guilty. Fiber, hair, blood, ect are a part of every homicide case. Even blood that has been cleaned and even bleached can still be detected, in some cases, years after the crime.* And with these advances in science came DNA. The identifing of each individual's genetic material, unique to every person with the exception of identical twins, has taken crime detection into the 21st century. What 50 years ago was science fiction is now routine police work.

The above advances have made the detection and capture of serial killers far easier than ever before. But any good cop will tell you that it still takes the human factor to make it all happen. There is no way to replace good old-fashioned police work. A combination of intuition and experience is the heart and soul of any homicide case.

*With the use of chemicals such as Luminol, blood, even decades old, can be detected.

The 'strain theory' as it applies to Gary L. Ridgeway, aka Green River Killer, begins in his childhood. Ridgeway had a very interesting relationship with his domineering mother. Borderline incestuous, Ridgeway later told how her provocative way of dressing, bathing young Gary when in his teens, and an absent father left Ridgeway sexually attracted to his mother. She was also overbearing and would quite frequently humiliate him especially about his bed wetting. Although the Ridgeways seemed, at least superfically, like an average family, Gary struggled throughout his childhood and teen years.

As an adult he had failed marriages (2), failed service record, and in general had trouble relating to other people. As is common with serial killers, many are not at ease with the rest of the human population.

There are different types of killers that are into power. Hitler is a perfect example. Everything Hitler did was about power, how he could use it to better his position of power. He was a real life 'Dr. Evil' who wanted nothing more than to take over the world. Then there are serial killers. Most people don't understand that for serial stranger kiillers the kill is incidental. It's the power over their victims that keep them at it, killing over and over until they die, get caught or just get too old to continue. Ted Bundy loved to watch the light go out of his victim's eyes as he strangled them, in a way it was his demented way to play God. He had total control, their lives and deaths were in his hands, literally.

In the case of Hitler, Stalin and other political figures as well as serial killers like Bundy, Dahmer and Gacy, all have characteristics of one or more personality disorders. No amount of drugs or therapy can help or alter APD and other disorders like it. Because it's not a mental illness but a defective personality there is little that can be done for the aflicted. It is believed by most psychologists that a person's personality is almost completely formed by the age of five. These killers were what they were long before the decision to take another's life. The killings are the manifestation of the disorder, not the other way around.

Pee wee Gaskins first killing was committed by mere chance when in 1946, at the age of 13, a girl he knew interrupted him burglarizing a home. She attacked him with an ax, which he managed to get away from her, striking her in the head and arm with it before running away from the scene. The second one was committed by chance and not by intentional motives also so as a killer he was disorganized getting caught both times serving terms.
