That’s not to say that all male serial killers rape their victims.
#WOMEN SERIAL KILLER DRIVER#
The single biggest driver for males is sexual compulsion. Perhaps the most glaring contrast between male and female serialists is motive. Males often start killing in their 20’s most females wait till their 40’s. AgeĪnother major difference between male and female serialists is the age when they first take the plunge into serial killing. Taking property is just a warm snack in the feast of control-a little further satisfaction, a tingling in the killer’s tummy. It’s about the pleasure of the kill-the sense of power she gets-the buzz. ~ Peter Vronsky, author of Female Serial Killersīut many female serial killers commit murder because that is what they want to do murder is their ultimate goal. The hedonistic comfort of material gain outweighs the price of human life. For a female serialist a human life is as valuable as a used tissue. Because when we say “easier to steal” without killing we put a different value on human life. There are easier ways to steal than murdering someone. On closer examination, though, murder is often entirely unnecessary for the attainment of the goods. The murder is seen as a method to attain other goals-profit usually the most often cited motive. Sometimes the murder itself is misinterpreted as part of the female serial killer’s MO leading to categorizations such as Black Widow or Angel of Death. Unlike the MO, the signature remains consistent. While the MO defines how the murder was done, the signature holds the key to why. Sorry, guys!Ī sick and twisted fantasy life drives the male serial killer to act, and in turn, the MO changes to match the fantasy replaying on an endless loop inside his head.Ī signature is an act the offender does not need to do to fulfill the ultimate act of murder-to bind a victim who isn’t resisting, to take a trophy, to pose the body after death. Statistically speaking, women are simply better at serial killing than men. A female serialist’s reign averages 8-10 years, and some continue for over 30 years without detection. By learning and adjusting the MO, the male serial killer is able to avoid capture for 4 years, on average. The art of serial killing improves over time. Impersonating an officer of the law, forcing open a window, or offering a ride to a hitchhiker becomes part of the modus operandi.Īs the serial killer-male or female-hones their murderous craft, the MO evolves. The MO is what the serial killer needs to do to accomplish their goal. In fact, the signature is the opposite of the MO. To fully grasp any serial killer’s lethality, it’s important to recognize that “signature” and “ modus operandi (MO)” are two different things. Thus, it’s a mistake to underestimate a woman hellbent on murder. With female serialists, however, the victims never view her as a threat until it’s too late. For males they use epithets that beget terror, such as Night Stalker, Flint Serial Slasher, and Jack the Ripper. The media attaches cutesy nicknames to female serial killers, like Giggling Granny, Jolly Jane, or Tiger Woman. By the end of this post, you decide who’s more ruthless. Male and female serialists differ in many ways.
