serial killer

A serial killer is an individual who commits multiple murders, typically with a cooling-off period between each crime. These killings are often driven by psychological gratification, and the victims are usually chosen based on specific characteristics. Serial killers can operate for months or even years without being caught, and their motives may include a desire for power, control, or a compulsion linked to past trauma. Understanding their behavior can help law enforcement develop profiles to catch them and prevent further crimes. Serial killing is a rare phenomenon, but it captures significant media attention and public fascination.
