Serial Murderers and their Victims Book

This book was a requirement for one of my classes, but I found that it was quite interesting. While it can be disturbing to learn about the actions SK's take, the knowledge I gained was useful from an educational stance.
I never appreciated how many typologies exist among serial murderers until I read this book. It also shocked me by putting to rest some of the myths surrounding serial killers!
For instance: Apparently the belief that there are very few female serial killers is inaccurate! The real truth is that female's are the "quiet killers", which means that their forms of killing are so subtle that they go unnoticed. Many female serial killers will pray on their family members, the elderly, or those whose deaths do not raise questions!
