Why do so many seriel killers go after prostitutes?

Answer 1

1. Oh, I see, you refer to UK murderers such as:
a) Jack the Ripper,

b) Peter Sutcliffe (the Yorkshire Ripper), and

c) the Ipswich Strangler.

2. Well, let's look first at the reality of a prostitute's life, and see how precariously vulnerable she is.
(a) She routinely approaches male strangers.
(b) She is prepared to get into a car with a stranger.
(c) She goes with a stranger to somewhere secluded for privacy.
(d) She is prepared to remove her clothing for a man who she does not know, and make herself sexually available to him.
(e) She may often have her judgement impaired through alcohol and/or drug abuse.
(f) her need for money (especially if she has an expensive drug addiction) may induce her to take risks.

3. For a man intent on murdering a woman, a prostitute represents a readily available target victim. He may also have some psycho-sexual motive for selecting sex workers (e.g. one had mocked his sexual performance, and he seeks revenge and gratification through the ultimate exercise of power over the unfortunate victim).

4. However not all serial killers target prostitutes, and I would hazard a guess that most serial killers do not seek to kill sex workers.
a) Fred West - he targeted any vulnerable woman, including prostitutes, runaways and even his own daughter.

b) Dr Harold Shipman - he administered lethal injections to elderly patients.

c) Dennis Nielsen preyed on male homosexuals.

d) Beverley Allitt (the "Angel of Death", a nurse suffering from Munchausen Syndrome) killed small children by injecting them with insulin.

e) Michael Ryan was a gun enthusiast and loner, who one day went on a shooting rampage in Hungerford, Berkshire.

f) Thomas Hamilton did the same at a primary school in Dunblane.

Answer 2

i deceive people perpetually; im constantly fixing to be the focal element... and you assume certainly everybody right right here to take you heavily? (Plus the certainty you printed this on Yahoo! concepts... it ought to take the FBI all of 20 minutes to get your information and knock on your door.) it relatively is 'serial' and not seriel... a very serial killer does not have made a grammatical errors like that. Ever watch Dexter?

Answer 3

The moralists have infected a minority of the criminal element.

The ripper was an abortionist looking for victims
Sutcliffe was told to do it by voices in his head
