Register to read the introduction…

Serial homicide is more sexual then single homicide. In both single and serial homicide victim and offender both have similar backgrounds an lifestyle(Moses,2006). This could be why the offender chose the prostitute anyways. Serial Murders have different motives than single murders. These motives are usually sexual in nature. A serial murder is usually more planned out then a single murder(Moses,2006). The Offender usually pre plans everything from where he meets the prostitute and where the murder will take place. Some serial killers even liked to take part in body mutilation and ritualistic killings of the prostitute. Single murders of prostitutes were found to be less sexual then that of serial killing of prostitutes. The serial killings were almost sure to be used for sexual gratification In short prostitution is already a dangerous profession what makes it even more scarey is the fact some men who are customers condone violence against women(Moses,2006). Seems the murder of prostitutes is quite common because noone has respect for them. This is a …show more content…

May be because maybe the serial killer has some underline sexual issues and does not want to reveal it to the public so he decides to pick up a complete stranger and take his frustrations out on a prostitute. Another reason could be the person wanting to act out sexual fantasies that a normal woman would not want to condone to so they pay someone for it and fulfill their deranged fantasy, but the worse part is that they probably like it and just keep doing it over and over(Moses,2006). Seeing that serial killers do have repeat patterns. Most serial killers do see as everyone beneath them some of them have a narcissistic disorder so when one sees a prostitute the prostitute probably does not even register as a human in a serial killers

  • Research Paper On Joel Rifkin

    803 Words  | 4 Pages

    As previously mentioned, Rifkin was fond of prostitutes since his experience with them gave him a sense of control, a relaxed environment, and company when he felt lonesome. Ironically, prostitutes are noted as the most common victims under the stranger-victim category for “young-women and children are at the greatest risk of victimization, especially those who are alone or can be isolated (344). By all means, Rifken targeting those people in that category feed into his ego assuming he would get away with murder because they are perceived as people that are vulnerable, helpless, and easy to control since they go undetected in society. They frequently put their safety in danger meeting at random locations and encountering people without asking for a name and/or some type of identification. Therefore, their risky behavior allowing killers to believe they have a low chance of getting caught since their disappearance is unlikely to be reported.

  • Sex Trafficking: Modern Day Slavery

    Sex Trafficking is a form of modern day slavery that exists throughout the United States and globally. It is one of the biggest lies in society (Farley et., 2014). The Vanderbilt Law Review indicates that the majority of prostitutes do not enter the prostitution lifestyle on their own free will choice, but instead becomes a prostitute due to a variety of vulnerabilities that both pimps and traffickers exploit. This explains why young women get blindsided and think they are becoming a prostitute when in reality they are a sex trafficking victim (Elrod 2015). When the United States made prostitution illegal, it did not change the mentality of the johns.

    Unlike mass murderers, serial killers can appear to be perfectly normal, with uneventful life styles making it easier to hide what they are. Serial killers can span multiple racial and gender groups, not just Caucasian and not just male as most people expect. A prime example is written by the FBI, “Robert Yates, a well-known serial killer, killed seventeen prostitutes in Spokane, Washington during the 1990s. He was married, had five children, and lived in a middle class neighborhood.” (Serial Murder).

She also noted that it placed a number of temporal and spatial restrictions on their lives. Another impact that the Ripper case may have had on society is the police approach to prostitution.

  • Serial Killer Theory Essay

    682 Words  | 3 Pages

    The theory used in this journal pertains to the race, age, and gender of a serial killer; how they kill, the race, age, and gender of the victim; and how the killer lived before and during the killings. Before beginning his own study, Pakhomou (2004) found that “Serial (sexual killers are believed to be mostly white males in their twenties and thirties (at the time of the crimes) with above-average intelligence who commit intra-racial (within the same racial group) murders of strangers” (p. 220). Approximately half of them never had consensual sex with another adult, some joining the military, about half did not finish high school, and they had a history of burglary and sexual offenses prior to murders. There is no set reason or evidence that explains why people commit sexual homicide; however, there are many theories. One set factor that all researchers agree on is that “the most monstrous and most perverse sexual acts are usually committed by persons of sound mind, who are functionally rigid (in terms of a number of activities that they carry on), obsessed with fantasy and who have a determination to do what they want” (Pakhomou, 2004, p. 221).

    At Ridgway’s sentencing he stated that he had picked prostitutes as his victims as he hated all of the prostitutes and did not want to have to pay them for sex (State of Washington v. Gary Leon Ridgway 2003). Ridgway also picked prostitutes as there was no aggravation in doing so and would not be noticed. Ridgway’s attitude was that a prostitute would not be missed or be reported missing, there for he could kill as many as he wanted and would never get caught (Missen, 2000). A third of Ridgway’s victims were from a minority backgrounds and most of them were younger that the 22 years old (Levi-Menzi & Shields, 2007). It is prostitutes that are more prevalent to becoming victims as they are already in harm’s way through the nature of their work and profession.
