Editors’ Introduction: Understanding Serial Homicide—Scope, Vision, and Structure
摘要
Serial homicide, involving the repeated killing of multiple victims by a single offender, remains a rare but highly complex form of violence. This volume integrates interdisciplinary research on offender psychology, crime scene behavior, victimology, investigative strategies, and legal responses to provide a comprehensive understanding of serial homicide. By bridging empirical evidence and professional practice, it highlights the theoretical, investigative, and practical considerations essential for understanding, preventing, and managing serial murder.
