Police are reluctant to label a murder as a possible serial homicide.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Often, a serial killer has no felony record.
Since there are only so many ways to kill a person, a good portion of homicides look pretty much alike.
We assume people we know can't be serial killers.
Most well-known serial killers have victims numbering in the dozens, have sent taunting letters to the police or have done bizarre things to the bodies.
Just as with homicide, those in the 'passion' category of suicide are much more likely to turn to whatever means are immediately available - those that are easy and quick.
If there's one crime for which there has to be a certainty of punishment, it is gun violence.
Nowadays, with much more racial and ethnic mixing, we are seeing serial killers murdering a variety of victims; whoever comes along will most likely do.
There are all sorts of ways of murdering a person or at least his soul, and that's something no police in the world can spot.
There are two kinds of serial killers as far as the victim is concerned: the kind that you don't see before they pounce on you and the kind you see and don't expect to pounce on you.
Murder is not the crime of criminals, but that of law-abiding citizens.
