why were there so many serial killers in the 70s/80s? was it

theres just as many now

Lead in petrol. Violence rates fell rapidly as lead was banned.

>>135932874

Think of how many people the bloods, crips, and Ms-13 kill. People don't usually give them titles of serial killers even though I'm sure many have killed over 3 people. They still exist, but even back then it was more sensationalized than a common problem

>>135932874

the world is more connected now and government is up your ass tracking you. gee i wonder why there are less serial killers. stop making shit threads

>>135932874
Techniques haven't caught up to new technology
Gen Z is were we will see the new serial killers

>>135933524
thats gang warfare they are fighting for turf and settling disputes, theres a motive; whereas serial killers murder seemingly random victims with no motive

>>135932874
Kinda looks like charls.

>>135934030
Yes, he kind of does.

>>135932874
No, it's the same today, but the MSM doesn't care about them anymore. They prefer modern clickbait like hot female teacher bangs her underage students and racial "hate" crimes that make white people look bad. Serial killers are still very active and often unnoticed.

>>135933524
Mass Murderer =! Serial Killer
There haven't been any serial killers that aren't geniuses. You are free to guess about the intelligence of the average spic or nigger gangbanger

>>135933190
BUT REDDIT SAID THATS JUST A MYTH!!!

>>135932874

Easy. Boomers (population boom) in late 20's early 30's (age with the highest rate of crime/violence) happened in the 70's.

>>135932874

because back in the 70s/80s people were more intelligent, they performed more planning in their crimes, sometimes not being caught for years. These days people have no incentive to think of the consequences or think ahead by playing 4D chess, they just commit one murder and get imprisoned soon after.

>>135933865
this faggot is correct.

>>135932874
Modern serial killers are just better. They have the internet to look up better techniques and can read about how past serial killers fucked up. I also think the show "CSI" made killers more effective since it taught them what to look out for.

>>135933982
>>135934366

A mass murderer is someone who killers 3 or more people in one instance. A serial killer is someone who kills 3 or more over separate instances. There is no motive needed.

>>135932874
I started an 80s car with a butter knife, you wouldn't believe how naive and easy the world was back then.

> illegal in bongland

>>135932874

There just wasn't shit to do back then. People were like guess I should rape and dismember this hitchhiker I picked up because it'll kill time before MASH comes on

>>135934366

And to add on the serial killer genius thing is a myth. They have average iqs and got away with their crimes due to bad police work and luck.

I forget who it was, but he literally had bags of body parts in the back seat of his car and when pulled over cops didn't question his motive of taking trash to the dumb

>>135932874
If there are good serial killers they dont get caught. How would you know about serial killers that dont get caught? Assuming they dont announce themselves

Good one nigger

>>135932874
The biggest difference today is that the media stopped sensationalizing them so you no longer here about their exploits. Also, huge numbers of people in the biggest victim pools (low class degenerates, hookers, homeless) are illegals with fake identities and no record that they even exist. They die all the time and nobody notices.

>>135933865
Fewer, not less.

>>135935353
The press used to announce them but stopped when the goy started to realize that most of these serial killers had ties to powerful people. Just look at Bundy and Gacy's political contacts, something fishy was going on.

Modern tech makes a serial killer's job easy and there are many of them out there the public isn't informed because if the truth were know about how powerless LEO is to protect the public from these predators there's be mass panic.

certainly easier. these days, it's exhausting

>>135934584

This. Most of the famous serial killer like Ted Bundy were boomers

If that was true, China would be much much worse than it is.

whites got cucked due to liberalism and they no longer hunt others for sport

almost all serial killers are white btw.

>>135934366
>There haven't been any serial killers that aren't geniuses.

The average serial killer has an IQ of 94

>>135934755
thats bullshit. serial killers always leave a trace and if there are serial killers in the streets right now, the media wouldve been all over them

whites just became more passive thats all.

>>135936563
besides science started to get used by LE at the time, ppl were not used to it.

>>135933524
serial killers kill at random with no ties to a gang or organization.
theyre whackjobs who kills for fun like the pic in the OP.
and they're always white.

>>135932874
Its still happening today

Chicago had 800 murders last year and only 22% were solved

>>135932874
there are plenty of missing people
if anything, serial killers just got better and/or more common

>>135936571
>China would be much much worse than it is.
It is we just don't know about it

Arthur Leigh Allan was the Zodiac killer

like 90% of them were failed MKUltra experiments, they perfected the process in the 80s

>>135936485
damn, theres a classic picture for ya.

>>135932874
It was a media meme, a fun series of stories trying to blow something out of proportion to it's real relevance. There are just as many crazy killers now as there ever were, the media just doesn't treat hunting them like a game show

>>135932874
The serial killers started waching Dexter

It was MK Ultra. When Jeffrey Dahmer was in highschool he was somehow able to call the White House from a pay phone and arrange a midnight tour of the Vice Presidents office for his entire class.

Internet porn. There is enough content out there where they can get their rocks off and then roll over and fall asleep.

>>135933982
you don't think gangs have "specialists" who do nothing but take out rivals or set examples?

>>135932874

1950s society had just broken down, police force was much smaller and less funded, crime was higher than ever before, etc. That said, >>135932969
Isn't wrong, and people overestimate the capacity of police to solve murders. Also we are more used to the concept of serial killers, and police go out of their way to cover them up to prevent panic and media circuses. There's also really no such thing as an investigative journalist anymore, just propagandists and entertainers

>>135932874
there was no communication between police departments in different counties and states.

you can just drive your car through the country and pick up hitch-hikers or prostitutes, kill them, dump the body, and continue driving.

those were great times.

t. diagnosed psychopath

>>135934366
This is not always true, look at the Green River killer. The guy was a turbo-autist borderline retard.

There are plenty now. Serial killers are hard to catch even now. They kill random victims they don't know. When police investigate a murder they look at family and friends who know the victim. Without that, they don't have much to go on.

>>135936571

If a ten million chinks were murdered by serial killers last year, nobody would even notice, what with the 100,000,000 who died in car accidents, 25,000,000 sucked into escalators, 70,000,000 killed in industrial explosions, 50,000,000 accidental electrocutions, etc. etc.

>>135932874
>Mkultra

>>135937233
Don't know. Any average Joe can inform himself today about most forensic methods. If they invest a bit of money, they can also travel to Africa, Asia or South America and find poor, defenseless people to murder. Then they travel back home.

>>135939526
Hell just look at cities like Seattle, there's huge tent cities full of mentally ill drug addicts that haven't spoken with their families in years. Ever since the serial killer craze died down cops aren't combing the green belts and other dumping spots like they used too either.

>>135935325
That would be Jeffrey Dahmer. And then there's the Zodiac, who passed a police officer on a stairwell but got away because the guy didn't recognize him from the wanted posters.

>>135940284
True, others just look on the internet for victims. Like that one cannibal from Germany who found his dinner in a BDSM chat.

Sites like Fetlife likely are better supervised than some slum by now.

>Meanwhile, the Internet has provided sex offenders with a wide variety of options for satiating their sadistic desires without needing to involve unwilling victims. Of course, society may frown on the level of violence in widely available pornography. But as distasteful as it may sound, this ready accessibility may also serve as a cathartic release valve for certain individuals who might otherwise resort to rape, torture and murder (although the evidence on whether it is a release valve or sometimes a catalyst is mixed).


The fear of being caught never discouraged a serial killer. So new enhanced technology isn't gonna discourage an offender. Gacy, Dahmer and Bundy all killed in part to fullfill sexual fantasies/desires/urges that isn't necessary with the internet nowadays everything is online.

Serial killers aren't necessarily geniuses. The ones who get away with it for long periods of time are usually 120+ IQ, but not necessarily geniuses.
