The US is the best at everything, really.

>>1873833

Does it? Or does it have a better system in place for catching them or a media more willing to report on them?

per capita? also lot's of places the behavior similar of serial killers is just a part of everyday life.

>>1873833
The need for fame and attention.

Its a bunch of wilderness, a serial killer's wet dream because of the places they can hide corpses.

There's wilderness everywhere though. They still haven't found Ian Brady's last victim even though they know roughly where he is buried, on the edge of a massive city.

Because poorer countries Del with gang violence so they don't even know if there are serial killers. For example, Ukrainian police didn't even know Chikatilo was killing people and just thought that the victims were victims of gang violence as is common in the area.

Manson isn't a serial killer, he never actually killed anyone.

Ted Bundy did nothing wrong. All he did was giving dumb roasties what they deserve.

I believe it's partly because US has pretty good law enforcement, which make it more possible to connect several victims with one killer than in some random shithole where cops either don't care or don't have the means.

On the other hand, there's noticeably more serial killers in US than in other developes nations. I believe it's correlated with American attitude towards sex. Sex in America is suppressed. You show a tit in TV, prostitution is banned. Until recently it was simply impossible for decent people to talk about sex. And so on. Serial killers' modus operandi more than often involved sexual gratification. Gacey for example was a closeted homosexual who raped and killed pretty young men while Bundy developed a penchant for necrophilia. Suppressed sexual desires in both cases degenerated and exploded into depraved violence.

>Ted Bundy did nothing wrong
Serial killer confirmed

Attention (media)
Means (time/space/money)
Disillusionment (with life/government/prospect)

AMD creates serial killers

This.

Often when it comes to "x has the highest instance of y crime" it can be chalked up to the fact they actually care about / catch said criminals, or have tighter laws on it.

Yes to the first paragraph. The US is huge, but has a connected law enforcement. If Europe was one Country with one system (not just shitty interpol relations) we would have a lot more serial killers too.

Basically comes down to USA being super huge and have lots off people

>If Europe was one Country with one system (not just shitty interpol relations)

Europol works fine, though not in spotlight. Recently they caught within 48 hours a guy who killed a random person in Poland and immediately fled to Malta.

Its getting better yeah, but it's still a very slow beast due to bureaucracy. Everyone who has worked in semi big company knows how it is.

>>1873833
Doubt. Americans are better at catching them. God knows what sort of monsters lurk elsewhere with so much less to impede.

>>1874280
So much this
Same goes for the fucking "Sweden is the rape capital of the West" meme. Sweden has very strict rape laws and people have worked hard to remove the stigma against admitting that one has been raped, which leads to more REPORTED cases (which is good, because you should report it), BUT not more rape.

>Manson
>serial killer

He didn't even kill

>>1873833
There's 310 million people there.

>chad and stacy bully and shame social outcasts
>people are divided along political, cultural, and racial lines
>failing economy and dieing job marked result in many losing all hope they can improve
>hard drugs are becoming so pervasive resulting in people selling their lives to gangs
>mental illness is stigmatised the same as retards and treatment bols down to "take these pills and get out of my face"

its sad really

Except in the case of Sweden the laws haven't changed all that much, but other things have.........

He did, actually. Killed that cowboy dude. Put a gun to his head, pulled the trigger, at the ranch.

Among others. Did that prisoner he doused with gasoline and light on fire die?

Some countries are better at recording and catching killers. Andrei Chikatilo Got away with masses of murders in part because soviet doctrine said that serial killers were a product of decedent western capitalism and couldn't happen in their communist paradise. The result was that investigations were hampered by a refusal to collate evidence with the assumption that multiple killings were committed by one person.

If you don't believe in serial killers exist you won't catch any.

>>1873943
Yes he did. He killed a Black Panther with his own samurai sword which Manson later kept as a trophy on his dune buggy, and a couple of other people that are less memorable to me. He just didn't get convicted for any of the murders he personally committed because there wasn't enough evidence to charge him, or the cops never found the bodies. The Family likely killed about twenty people overall, but the authorities only busted them for the Tate-Labianca cases and that assassination attempt on President Gerald Ford.

>>1873850
did he died?

>>1873855
This. The most prolific serial killers were south American (quick google search if you're interested, I recommend). The thing is, it is much more difficult to catch them when you have a more isolated society and less effective police and criminal justice.

Case in point, one of the south American killers got out of jail after being convicted of something like 100 murders because the system is garbage, and it took decades to even catch him
