Organization in Serial Killers
There is the disorganized killer and the organized killer. Most serial killers (about 3/4) are organized and their victim counts seem to be higher, that is also because they are usually above average intelligence. The disorganized offender is lonely and his murders usually display his anger, most are of a low IQ and suffer from some mental disorder, the killing is not planned and is a usually spur of the moment thing. It should also be noted that some serial killers display both the characteristics of a disorganized and organized killer, these killers are typed as being ‘mixed’. These are the basic typologies -
Organized Killer (eg. Gacy, Bundy) -
Plans out the murder (may become accustomed to using it quickly).
Will bring a ‘rape kit’ (rope, handcuffs, chloroform etc) if desired.
Personalizes himself with the victim( talks, leads, captures etc. the victim into/for planned murder situation).
Rape, torture etc. may take place before murder, for the killers own gratification.
Kills victim with awareness of evidence at crime scene (which may cleaned, destroyed etc).
Might move the body to hide, bury it etc. in an attempt to evade/delay discovery.
Killer will not be involved further with the victim’s body, but may take articles, jewellery etc. for trophy or gain.
Disorganized Killer (eg. Berkowitz, Chase ) -
Murder usually happens spur of the moment (with no planning but the one simple objective to kill).
Does not bring any tools (‘rape kit’) to the kill except maybe murder device.
No contact with the victim prior to spur of the moment murder.
No rape, torture etc. will take place before murder.
Kills victim but does not care for evidence usually left at the crime scene (high degree of violence takes place at murder).
Will not move body in an attempt to hide, bury it etc., unconcerned of its discovery.
Killer might be involved further with the dead victim (mutilation, necrophilia, cannibalism, etc) and may also take souvenir.
