Many meanings of a Serial Killer.
The article “Gunmen Assassins and Drunk Murders are one thing, Serial Killers are another”, Gregory Laire a daily article reporter informs us on the many different names and meanings of “Serial Killer”. He states that before the 20th century there were several different meanings but one definition. They were called “Stranger Murders”, “Mass Murder”, and some called them “Lust Murders” With this he further explores the ways they were seen in the past to the way they are now seen in the present day. The word “Serial Killer” today has more definitions then definition has letters. One of the definitions from during the 70’s is one who kills multiple people all linked. That definition stayed until the 90’s when they found that that theory was no longer true. During the 90’s the definition of a “Serial Killer” was three or more separate events in separate locations with occasional cooling-off periods in between. This was now the definitions because they notice that the victims of the serial killers would be spaced out after two or three were found. 2008 was the next year when an FBI officers notice the change between the decades. A killing of two or more victims by the same offender, occurring on two separate occasions. This was used because, officers state that the murders are not from compulsiveness but from sadistic sexual overtones. Serial killer is a term describing a type of killer who kills a number of people over a long period of time. The definition of 2013 shows that all of these definitions are correct and also show that they do not get caught easily to because they do kill over a long period of time.
