Abstract
The phenomenon of serial murder, although a rare form of homicide, has attracted an increased degree of interest in the last decades. Theodore Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Henry Lee Lucas, Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono (the “Hillside Stranglers”), David Berkowitz (the “Son of Sam”), Jeffrey Dahmer, Richard Ramirez (the “Night Stalker”), and Albert DeSalvo (the “Boston Strangler”) are a few of the serial killers that have both terrorized and fascinated the public.
