HEY, WHO KNOWS ABOUT CRIMINOLOGY?
Does anyone know about International serial murderers? And by that, I mean the frequency of serial murders in countries not considered "Western"? I've been thinking about the fact that the majority of serial murderers appear to spawn from the most privileged demographic on the face of the planet- western, first world, white men. Granted, this is something I've pondered many times before in my life, being unable to formulate any rational psychological or sociological reasoning behind the phenomenon.
Now I'm simply wondering whether or not the assumption that most serial killers are western, white men is just our typical North American bias at play. Although it's fairly obvious that female and minority serial killers are very rare in Europe and North America.
I guess this wouldn't count for countries engaged in civil war/genocidal situations. :P I'm pretty convinced it's a sociological thing, but I'm still curious.
