Most people wouldn't think that there is a difference between the sexes when it comes to things like this, but there tends to be a major difference. A female serial killer tends to kill those close to her, the most common type is called a "Black Widow" its where a woman tends to marry a man with the intent of killing him. Many black widows will kill the mans children and even her own if she sees them as a road block. The most common method of killing is to poison their victims to make it look as though the person had a natural death. This method of killing is becoming harder to do with the advances of technology and the improved communication between cities but it still does happen. The most common reason for a black widow to kill is for monetary gain or just to change the life style. Men on the other hand tend to kill strangers, many kill women or men they have never met before. It is usually tied to something happening to them in the past and they want to act out against it. Others just feel like something is missing, Jeffery Dalhmer thought that anyone who was living would leave him and only the dead loved him as much as he loved them. Many serial killers know that what they are doing is wrong and choose to do it anyway not caring for the consequences. I personally think that female is worse because these are women who are making men fall in love with them, develop a relationship, have children with these men and just kill them and their own children because they want money... I was wondering what other people's opinions were though, so reply and lets start a discussion.

women do usualy kill some one closer to them its called a crime of passion. where to as you said men will kill randomly, a black widow will kill her loved one for just the simple life style change. and as you stated men will kill because of childhood trauma or other issues that they have. the son of sam killer killed because he was convinced a devil dog told him to . insane yes!! but maybe he just used that as a plea for insanity. who knows...?

The funny think about the Son of Sam is they think it was actually multiple people committing the crimes. None of the eye witness accounts matched the physical description, and the ones that did match him showed that there was no way that he could be at the site when the murder happened. They also had witnesses saw people removing furniture from his apartment a week before he was arrested. The man now, (still alive even after multiples on his life) confirms that it was cult killings by a satanic group that were attempting to create anarchy. There was a documentary on him on one of the crime channels .

In my opinion, a killer by any gender is just as bad. It is the intention behind the killings and the manner in which they are executed that makes one killing worse than another. The black widows you mentioned are pretty much the worst of the lot, since they often gain their victims' trust before striking at them. However, men killing for revenge is also quite pathetic. It's even more senseless when it's a fight over a woman who doesn't even know that the two men exist.
