Murder → Victim of a serial killer (Set 2)

In the United States at least, serial killers are most often white males. Other ethnicities involved: African American, Hispanic, Native American, Arab, African, and Asian. Females have consistently only accounted for 16% of all serial killers known since 1800. The African American incidence is rising, from 10% of the total in 1975 to 21% of the total in 2004. Most frequently, but not always, serial murder is intraracial - whites killing whites, blacks killing blacks. Victims are often robbed, and many are raped before or after being killed, and bondage, torture, dismemberment, and cannibalism are not uncommon. Motives speculated upon include profit, ritual, political factors, social factors, moral factors, attention (mothers killing their children), and compassion (frequent in medical-type serial murders). In many cases, the killer and victims are strangers who just recently met.
