Course overview
A serial killer is typically a person who murders three or more people over a period of more than a month, with significant time passing between each murder. While most authorities establish a criterion of three murders, some extend it to four or reduce it to two. Serial murders are typically motivated by psychological gratification, and many involve sexual contact with the victim. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), serial killers may be motivated by anger, thrill-seeking, financial gain, or attention-seeking and may carry out their crimes accordingly. The victims may share a similar demographic profile, physical appearance, gender, race, and psychology.
