Interest in serial murder has spanned nearly fifty years, evident through its portrayal in various media forms. This fascination leads to the emergence of numerous theories--often sensationalized and unsound. Serial killers can vary widely, from those engaged in sexual murder to healthcare professionals and contract killers. Despite the notoriety of figures like Ted Bundy and Jack the Ripper, scientific research on the psychology and behavior of serial killers is surprisingly limited, contrasting starkly with the wealth of knowledge available for other mental disorders.
Serial murder has captivated public interest for decades, leading to a plethora of media portrayals and expert opinions that often lack scientific backing.
While serial killers are commonly represented in media as highly intelligent, the actual scientific understanding of their characteristics is quite limited.
