You aren't wrong, but the overwhelming majority of them are in fact male. The stock FBI profile for serial killers is white male between the age of 25 and 50 of above average intelligence.

Sexist? Nah.

Maybe slightly presumptive, but the trend overwhelmingly supports the notion that most serial killers are adult white males.

Ideally the police would be focused on actual evidence to find the killer, as for other people idgaf if they assume it's a fucking giraffe.

Statistically there are more black male serial killers percentage wise. I think Asians had the highest or lowest percentage. It has been a while since I looked at the statistics.
Assuming it is a white male would be your safest stereotype. However the media and shows like criminal minds vastly over represent white male serial killers. It is almost insulting that generic thugs often are played by minorities and the generally viewed as more morbidly fascinating villains are restricted to white guys. This applies to hit man and supervillains as well in the media.

Oh, I won't argue with that. I'm sure the majority of them are male. I'm just pointing out that TC is wrong.

I mean the majority of people in America are white so generally you assume everything is white.

Hell soon enough even half the Islamic terrorists will be white.

Just asking.


Yes, profiling is inherently "bigoted" but it generally works no matter how much people whine about it. Your mass shooter is usually a white or Asian male. Your terrorist is usually Muslim (before that, it was usually a white person with either a far-left (Weathermen, for instance) or far-right political leaning). Gang members tend to be black or latino. Biker gangs tend to be white. Granted, there will always be exceptions and those exceptions often get away with their crimes because people aren't looking for them -- the Green River Killer is a great example, because most serial kills are single white males within a certain age rage and Gary Ridgway was a married man.

Honestly, it's using established data to solve crimes. The *only* hiccup involves false arrests perpetually corrupting data or over-enforcement distorting data.

Absolutely 100%. it's 2017 we live in a different era now

it's annoying as shit to always assume a male is the "bad guy."

speaking of which, "bad guy" is sexist as fuck to begin with, even though a lot of times people refer to multiple people as "guys" and it's not a male thing, so i dunno, but whenever i hear "bad guy" i assume male, like everyone else, and that's wrong

Nope. Statistics back that up. Most reported serial killers are in fact men so it's not necessarily sexist to guess one is male. But to guess a male is a serial killer is sexist af.

It's not prejudiced if it's logical. I mean, when you hear about a terrorist attack in London, you'd be safe to assume it wasn't a bunch of Latinos.

I'm a little familiar with Gary Ridgway, thanks to Rob Dyke.

But I gotta agree. Profiling is inherently bigoted but data speaks volumes

The reasons there are more white serial killers is there are more white people in America. The reason percentage wise that there are more black serial killers stems to the fact if you treat someone bad, they typically do not turn out to be model citizens all the time...
I mean this is just my interpretation of the data.

Baffling point would be that Asians have the lowest serial killer percentage (maybe Jews and Natives have lower but they weren't on the chart). Then again Asians and Jews typically have the lowest violent crime rates.

So as you said its the data that speaks volumes.
