Serial Murder

This week, the focus is on team killers. Watch the video at the link below, reflect on it, and think about your readings for the week. Then, I want you to tell me what separates solo killers from team killers. Specifically, explore issues involving how team (or Buddy) killers meet, power dynamics within the “team,” and motives. Give me specific examples. One case reviewed in the video, and via your readings, involves the Sunset Strip Killers. Focus on that case as you wind down your entry. Review it considering radical feminist theory. Let me know what you think of that perspective. Integrate points from Thompson and Ricard’s research.
