" Since there is no world wide data gathering system for serial killers, you are stuck with the statistics that are brought by the media. Since the media is focused on the US, it't natural and normal that the US (and Britain) would dominate the numbers.Ashcroft could not survive for long, all those statues and those breastfeeding congresspersons, ... " I can only supposet that this is a thrust to the effect that the US' alleged excessive modesty towards nakedness carries with it something to do with serial killing. If so, this is just more BS like the old studies suggesting that the Swedes killed themselves more than normal. The fact is that US serial killing is exactly what you would expect from a nation that goes out of its way to collect all the information on serial killers. If the rest of the world did the same, (and the rest of the world had US standards in ease of body dumping), the rest of the world would have matching serial killer rates.aileenwuornos.com then you should take into account the possibility that this is just BS intended to market a movie / book. Female serial killing undoubtedly dates to the founding of the US in 1776, and existed in the colonies before that. (Just very rare, as are female serial killers in general.) Humans just haven't changed that much.It’s important, however, to dispel some of the hyperbole surrounding the Wuornos case at the outset. She was not America’s first female serial killer. Women have been murdering serially for as long as men, though their victims are usually family members or acquaintances, and they most often choose poison over other means of disposal. crimelibrary.com
