1. 16% is an outrage - I demand equality!

Kidding! Kidding!

Okay, seriously. I'm curious if the book sheds any light as to whether their reasons differ much from male serial killers. I'd assume that serial killers' reasons are kind of all over the place. Some do it for the thrill, others to right a perceived moral wrong, others for revenge, etc. But I really don't know much about serial killers as a whole, of either gender.

I think there's a potential for darkness in all of us, male or female. Maybe more men act on that darkness because of capability, or because men tend to be more aggressive. I don't know, but I think it's kind of interesting.
