London Serial Killers
Murders and murderers fascinate us - and perhaps serial killers fascinate us most of all.In the twentieth century the term came to be used to describe murders committed by the same person, often with similar methods.But, as Jonathan Oates demonstrates in this selection of cases from London, this category of crime has existed for centuries, though it may have become more common in modern times.Using police and pathologists' reports, Home Office and prison files, trial transcripts and lurid accounts in contemporary newspapers, he reconstructs these cases in order to explain how they took place, who the killers were, what motivated them, and how for a while they got away with their crimes.He does not neglect the victims and provides a revealing analysis of the killers, their circumstances and their actions. Among the nineteenth-century cases are the infamous killings of Jack the Ripper and the less-well-known but terrifying crimes of the only female killer, the Deptford Poisoner.Twentieth-century cases covered in forensic detail include the Black-out Ripper of 1942, the Thames Nude Murders of the 1960s and the multiple killings of Joseph Smith, John Christie and John George Haigh.There is also one especially troubling unsolved case - the notorious Soho prostitute killings of the 1930s and 1940s, which may be the work of one man. Jonathan Oates's gripping accounts of this wide range of serial killings gives us a powerful insight into the nature of these crimes, the characters of the killers and the police methods of the period.

Why do serial killers look like serial killers?
Serial killers may appear to have certain physical characteristics or behaviors that are associated with the stereotype of a serial killer, such as being socially awkward, having a lack of empathy, or exhibiting a cold and calculating demeanor. However, it's important to note that these traits are not definitive indicators of a serial killer. The perception of what a serial killer looks like is often influenced by media portrayals and sensationalized stories, which can create a misleading stereotype. In reality, serial killers come from diverse backgrounds and can have a wide range of appearances and personalities.

The Serial Killer Files
There are many myths about serial killers: that they are all dysfunctional loners; all white males; only motivated by sex; that they all travel and operate across a wide area; cannot stop killing; are all insane, or evil geniuses; and that they all want to get caught. Of course, there are some serial killers who fit into these categories, but the married Green River Killer was not a dysfunctional loner; there are plenty of female and non-Caucasian serial killers; Dr Harold Shipman was certainly not motivated by sex; many serial killings (such as the Ipswich prostitute murders carried out by Steve Wright) happen within a confined area; the 'BTK Killer', Dennis Rader, stopped killing in 1991, but wasn't caught until fourteen years later.Many serial killers may have a low animal cunning, or be 'street smart', but few of them are Mensa-level geniuses. Each of the thirty cases covered here is unusual in some respect, perhaps in the way in which the killer carried out their crimes, the choice of victims, the way in which they were apprehended, or the method of their execution. The cases are presented alphabetically by country - from Australia via Colombia, Great Britain, Indonesia, Iran, South Africa and elsewhere to the United States - and then chronologically.They come from across history and from all over the world.The author has gone back as far as possible to contemporary source material - newspaper accounts, trial evidence, interviews with perpetrators or survivors - rather than rely on the increasingly blurred truth to be found online and in far too many collections.

Can serial numbers track us?
Serial numbers are typically used to identify and track individual items or products, such as electronics or vehicles. While they can be used to track the ownership and movement of these items, they are not directly linked to individuals unless they are registered or connected to personal information. Therefore, serial numbers themselves cannot track us unless they are tied to specific personal data.
