Answer:
Organized mass murder.
Step-by-step explanation:
Serial Killer:
A serial killer is defined as someone who kills more than three people over a long period of time. The United States Bureau of Justice defines a serial killer as The killing of several victims over three or more separate events’ The serial killer is separated from the spree killer by the fact that the former have periods of inactivity between killings, sometimes running into years.
A spree killer is defined by the Bureau of Justice as killings at two or more locations with no time break between murders.
Organized killers:
An organized serial killer is likely to plan his actions well and be careful not to leave evidence at the crime scene. Criteria for organized killers are:
- Intelligent.
- Socially Skilled.
- Sexually Competent.
- Live with a partner.
- Likely to target strangers.
- Show antisocial and psychopathic personality traits.
Disorganized killers:
As may be expected, a disorganized serial killer is opposite to Gacy and others like him. Their attacks tend to be unplanned and they often leave evidence at the crime scene and show signs of being out of control during attacks. Criteria for disorganized killers are:
- Low intelligence Socially inept Sexually inept Usually live alone Show signs of severe mental illness Likely to have been physically/sexually abused as a child Likely to be in a confused/frightened state of mind
Mixed Killers:
This is where the attempts to pigeonhole killers are shaken. Some serial killers do not fit neatly into one category or the other and these are mixed killers. They display traits common to both organized and disorganized killers and can be far more difficult to track down because they do not follow a given pattern.
