Why were there so many serial killers in the 60's, 70's

>>1433745
America's got a much larger population than any other western country, as well as a good police force that allows them to catch them. Plenty come out of places like China as well, though it never hits our news. The one with the highest body count (around 138 confirmed) is from Colombia, and many have been from other countries in the region. Just doesn't ever hit our news.


Also, 60's, 70's and 80's were a sweet spot where TV was popular enough for them to get the attention they needed, but before police started to be able to more successfully control what the media said and what information they got their hands on in these cases. These days you start throwing around juicy details and the station's likely to get hit with an obstruction of justice suit.

Also worth noting is that heaps of those people listed as serial killers are doing it in gang violence. It's still more than 3 and as such is serial murder, but they're not typical serial killers.

I think Bundy is endlessly fascinating. Most serial killers lose their mystique once you figure out how they tick and the forces that shaped them, but Bundy just gets more interesting the deeper you go

He was also qt

>>1433910
His story is clear: remove foot fetishists.

It only stopped because fetlife and other types of networking came into existance

>>1433910
How so? I always thought of him as a cut and dry sexually sadistic, narcissistic psychopath.

>>1433910
Bundy's interesting because there's something inherently human about him I think. He looks like he could easily be your neighbor, someone you'd feel comfortable leaving your kids with, unlike any of the other big American serial killers.

Even his looks, he's good looking, but not in a stand out "Holy shit he's hot" sort of way, but in a very personable one, if that makes sense. It fits into the "he could easily be your neighbor" thing, whereas someone like Richard Ramirez, who was very model looking, didn't.

That's just my opinion though, he's got this combination of the domestic and the extremely evil, which I think fascinates people.

>>1433745
I've had four girls independently tell me I look like Ted Bundy

God damn that man he's a scourge on my life

>>1433932
Yeah, it's that disconnect between the facade he put up and his interior world, which was a black hole of destruction. Hardly anyone who knew Bundy personally could believe he was capable of such acts, at least until the evidence was overwhelming

>>1434089
He's almost the all american serial killer as far as I can see it, he was a law student, really well liked and social, but then completely evil on the other side.

It's a really unique combination of being a really easy to relate to person and being so destructive is what it is. Everything about his mannerisms up until his death was incredibly likable and easy to feel like you could just as easily be in his situation if you were unlucky, yet he was also known for being insanely manipulative by his doctors and guards, to the point where they'd just rarely trust anything he told them. To this day I don't think anyone really knows why he did it, the whole porn addiction story was pretty obviously not the main reason, true or not.

It really is more interesting than someone like Jeffrey Dahmer, who once you figure out why he did what he did just becomes kind of a sad story.

I have a feeling the rise of the Internet has helped stem the tide of serial killings, at least those not related to gang violence.

Think of it this way: before the Internet, there was no real way for people with fetishes or latent paraphilias to 'vent' their frustrations, such that these eventually led to people simply snapping and going all the way. Nowadays, you can go to DeviantArt or FetLife and have a wank over the most autistic of fetishes and even find people discussing it, something unthinkable back then.

>>1433745
Copycats. Same reason there's more Islamic terrorism these days.

He blamed pornography in his final interview when he realised Dobson (the interviewer and anti-pornography activist) wanted to steer to conversation in that direction

This is a classic moment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vusa-T2VMKk

>"I had asked Ted to do me one favor, as his lawyer, and to not discuss the Florida crimes, just in case we got a stay of execution at the very last minute. On the tape, Dobson asks him about the murder of Kimberly Leach. Ted hesitates and glances around, deciding what to do. I love that moment. I love to see Ted struggling with my instructions, deciding whether to restrain himself or do as he pleases, assert control. He finally chokes out that he can't talk about it, though he'd like to.

>That few seconds of film is Ted's gift to me. The Reverend Dobson interprets his hesitation as overwhelming remorse.

>That was my gift to Ted."

>Defending the Devil, Polly Nelson

that fucking look at the end

>>1434136
>He blamed pornography in his final interview when he realised Dobson (the interviewer and anti-pornography activist) wanted to steer to conversation in that direction

Hadn't he blamed it in earlier interviews too though? He came up with a pretty well fleshed out story if it was just improvised. Though it's possible.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vusa-T2VMKk

I always found this interview really great, on par with some of the ones by Ed Kemp or Charles Manson really. There's this weird combination between obvious acting and seemingly really sincere emotion. I'd argue that him never actually talking about that particular murder is a way for him to keep control up until he died though. If he seemed regretful for that one and no others, he could always be a bit of a mystery, instead of just a nutcase like Gary Ridgeway or someone that just was angry and got off on murder.

>>1434165
>Hadn't he blamed it in earlier interviews too though?

Probably. For Bundy he was never the one at fault, it was nearly always some external cause that turned him into a monster. I say nearly because he did slip up on occasion. There's an anecdote one of his lawyers shared about visiting Bundy in prison and finding him a slobbering mess on the floor of his cell. He asked Ted why he was crying to which he replied "I want to be a good person, I'm just not". One his girlfriends also recalled Ted agonising over his inability to connect with other people on any meaningful level. This sets him apart from other sadistic sociopaths I think. There was some small part of him that knew he was fucked up

>>1433745
Hmm

>>1433910
He's a good actor

>>1434207
I think that's pretty accurate, though it seems to be somewhat common in highly intelligent serial killers. Ed Kemper, another highly intelligent serial killer said similar stuff. He seemed to be less manipulative, but he said he always knew at some point that he was fucked pretty badly, or at least did once he was an adult, and that he hated this about himself.

Though to use Manson as another example, he seems to just not give two shits, or at least be good enough at the act to never have let anyone know he did.

With the example of Ted in his cell though, do you think that it was more regret that he had fucked his life up so much, or remorse for his crimes? As in do you think it was "I wish I'd never done these things because they're terrible and hurt others so much" or "I wish I'd never done these things because if I was a better person I wouldn't be in prison right now".

>>1434237
thx senpai

>>1434247
I think in Ted's case he just desperately wanted to be normal, decent person. For example when he worked at the suicide crisis hotline, or volunteered with Mormons, or did any other number of good, seemingly moralistic deeds, I don't think this was a calculated effort on his part to throw people off, but he was really trying to find some good within himself. He was like this right up to the end with his final words, "Give my love to my friends and family". Imagine the pain of such an existence

>>1433910
Bundy is interesting because he looks human and personable but he is nothing on the inside. Bunch looked like the prototypical "8/10 rugged good looking American guy" and people trusted him for it, and he could put on anything he wanted to put on, but in the inside he legitimately was a ghost, a no one. He's like that Talking Heads song, he was both seen and not seen, he could basically change his face and no one would have been the wiser
Couple that with his body count and his brutality, and he is the perfect serial killer to capture America's imagination. He said that being American was being and living with strangers, and he was the perfect stranger

It was the hot new thing for psychotic criminals

in the 20's-30's it was bank robbery, nowadays it's mass shooters

>>1436320
What will it be in the future? Terrorism?

>>1433745
55 thousand people died in my country last year, the thing is over 80% of homicide cases aren't solved (I'd bet it's even higher than 80) so probably many serial killers get to roam free.

>>1438709

He kinda of has that crazy-bitch eyes.

There were no more serial killers than in an any other period, it's just the press and the entertainment media hyped that shit up endlessly. It's borderline crazy how much the media can warp your perception of reality, really.

>>1439009
Do you have evidence to suggest there is? The burden of proof is on you because the entertainment media argument has been pushed through. Also, in the late 20th century and particularly in the United States, most 'serial killings' took place in Urban areas and American Urban areas are pretty densely populated. I'd imagine hundreds of years ago without forensics, security cameras and all that psychopaths with a compulsion would roam the countryside killing hundreds upon hundreds

>>1439009
>proving a negative

Do you have evidence I didn't fuck your mam yesterday?

1. Police was utter shit
2. Nowadays mass shootings are more popular for sociopaths due to everyone being a betacuck
3. Americas weird-ass housing system in the less urban areas is really welcoming to the "lurking creeper" types - noone sees you etc.

>>1439022
It's like with those UFO sightings in the 50s, shit wasn't actually happening but the media hyped it up insanely.

Also look at the movies made between the 60s and the 80s, from Psycho through Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween to Friday the 13th, Portrait of a killer and Manhunter, the entertainment industry fueled a serial killer craze.

>>1439035
Mass shootings are also a media meme. Some press agencies even started counting gang related driveby as mass shooting.

>>1439003

The future is now

Serial killing in the United States dropped way off with the advent of trace evidence/DNA analysis. It's much harder to commit a series of crimes of any kind over a long period because of physical (and now digital) evidence trails that used to be undetectable. Serial murder still occurs in the ghetto and poor countries. There are still active serial killers from the past few years as well (that one in Long Island and the one or more on the Trail of Tears in Canada) but they are probably long-haul truckers or other types with a mobile lifestyle.

What OP is really asking about is the historical prevalence of psychosexually motivated murders and their relationship with culture.

Gein was a weirdo with mommy issues and only two confirmed kills. He's more notorious for his skin furniture than his killings. He only got the pop culture boost thanks to psycho/Texas chainsaw. Gacey, Bundy and Dahmer are all infinitely more interesting.

Can anyone itt recommend a good Bundy biography?

From the FBI site:

"The different discussion groups at the Symposium agreed on a number of similar factors to be included in a definition. These included:

• one or more offenders
• two or more murdered victims
• incidents should be occurring in separate events, at different times
• the time period between murders separates serial murder from mass murder

In combining the various ideas put forth at the Symposium, the following definition was crafted:

Serial Murder: The unlawful killing of two or more victims by the same offender(s), in separate events"

Just kill yourself before I have to do it anon.

>>1439660

If you wanna see just how much of a cunt you are: there is no consensus, there is no scientific definition.

serial murder, also called serial killing, the unlawful homicide of at least two people, carried out in a series over a period of time. Although this definition was established in the United States, it has been largely accepted in Europe and elsewhere, but the crime is not formally recognized in any legal code, including that of the United States. Serial murder is distinguished from mass murder, in which several victims are murdered at the same time and place.

in the mid 80's in Peru dismembered bodies started to appear in the capital, the police managed to narrow it down to one suspect who just got out of prison for killing his aunt and her children. So the police tried to get some information from the suspect whose name was Hugo Díaz Balbín, but he wouldnt talk, so some low ranking official recommended calling Mario Poggi, who was a psychologist who taught a confession through hypnosis course to the police. Poggi was unemployed at the time and he talked to Balbín for a while, then some day he asked for some alone time with Balbin and then he strangled him with his belt, after he got detained he said he was doing society a favor because Balbín was an unrepentant killer and shit.
Poggi was pretty much an attention whore and posibly insane or extremely weird as soon as he got out of jail he started giving interviews, and becoming pretty much a media whore. He used to sit (he died this year) in one of Lima's most famous parks (cat park with free wifi) randomly screaming and acting strange and offering psychological profilings for money

Long distance travel because much easier and cheaper for the average person but law enforcement methods and technology couldn't keep up with millions of people driving or flying around the country doing whatever they wanted wherever they wanted, and basically all they had to do was kill someone in the woods then skip town. No national computer databases of criminal info all sharing info with each other. Much less security cameras and tight security. Also, I think people were quicker to trust strangers back then, for example hitchhiking was pretty common in america a few decades ago but is now only reserved for druggies and crustpunks because everyone has heard about countless rapes and murders of hitchhikers on the news.

>Why do 76% of serial killers come from America?

America has a huge population, lots of space to lay low after a murder, and competent enough law enforcement to actually catch some of them, as opposed to th going unnoticed in third world countries.

>>1439517
I agree, Jack the Ripper is probably the most well-known worldwide and has accrued the most cultural influence.

>>1439932

Bundy's kill count is questionable. He would have confessed to anything they wanted him to. He would become whoever the person facing him wanted him to be until it fell apart, even if only in his head, and he lashed out violently.

>>1442262
The compulsion to kill thing is a total myth based on the fact that the ones who get caught are the ones who can't control themselves. Satisfying the compulsion forces an MO and a location, which allows the police to track and catch them. The ones that dont get caught for years tend to stop on a dime, it stops being fun, they find satisfaction somewhere else like work or family, or they feel like they are going to get caught.

>>1439932
The Original Night Stalker is an interesting one. The police incompetence was what allowed him to get away with it. Every time he evolved he would hit 4 or 5 more people before they spotted the pattern again.

The ones that dont get caught for years tend to stop on a dime, it stops being fun, they find satisfaction somewhere else like work or family, or they feel like they are going to get caught.

Do you have any evidence for this? Pretty much every serial killer we've caught describes a compulsion to do it, I don't really see how you can use people we haven't caught or had a chance to talk to as evidence for what it's really like.

Also, to answer the original question, some serial killers find ways to fill that urge without murder eventually, or end up in prison for other stuff. Control based ones can get the control fix in a career, lust based ones by meeting a partner who's into related stuff (though not in a moors murderer sort of way obviously), all sorts of different reasons.

Ontological alienation + poor health care, and a general stigma surrounding mental illness.

Albert Fish and H.H Holmes come to mind.

not making art installations, though, more like dissection, cannibalism, experimentation

What is ontological alienation?

>>1443430
not that guy, but basically what evolves out of philosophical dualism, capitalism and bureaucracy (spelling) and it's total collapse as far as values and communities are concerned. Now we have a plethora of both bodily and psychological diseases, we fuck up the planet, live lives without a sense of meaning or belonging and so on. I think alienation fundamentally is an existential/mental state that blocks perception, intercepts action and leaves you catatonic or psycotic if it goes too far. I think it means that we have a culture without roots (baudrillard etc), a map without a terrain that makes individuals either succumb to the zombie life style in one way or another or go full on Bundy-style crafting your own worldview by way of impulses, instincts, manipulation and the realization that good/evil does not exist

>>1443468
Do you really think that serial killing comes from that?
In ye olde days there were no killers, no sir not at all! The known oned are all fake and it's on capitalism and societal decay.

Ebin :DDDD

Not saying it is THE reason. It might mold or trigger certain dispositions for all I know.

Bela Kiss pickled girls in steel drums and drained them of their blood. He went off to fight in WWI before his crimes were discovered and was never seen again.

I'd actually come across a guy who gave a lecture about the research he did into Holmes who claimed most of the stuff he did was made up and exaggerated by the newspapers.

>>1442264
I've not read it, but you need to keep in mind that just because one or even multiple sources claim something doesn't mean it's true. I'm going to make the assumption by the cover that it's going to discuss Satanic "sacrifices", which were total hysteria in the 80s and 90s US. A lot of details behind specific cases can have crazy non sinister explanations behind them or even be outright lies perpetuated as truth, you just have to be careful and research specifics, finding the original sources of certain extravagant claims.

The 60's through the 80's were a degenerate time in America. It took hip-hop music and violent video games to rescue us from ever-rising crime rates.

you realize DNA analysis only works when the murderer had already been caught and processed for a previous crime, right? giant DNA databanks of all citizens don't exist in the United States.
