Didn’t want to rustle the big guy’s jimmies, but the Behavioral Studies Unit concluded that most serial killers were white because they themselves were white, and all their examples were white. Black serial killers were not especially heavily investigated because law enforcement was less willing to link crimes in the black community and uncover black serial killers.
Blacks have been the majority of serial killers since the late 70’s, completely in line with them also being the majority committers of all forms of violent crime. The rules of what constitutes a ‘serial killer’ were also relaxed from 1992’s “
Three or more separate events, in three or more separate locations, with an emotional ‘cooling-off period’ between homicides” to the current day’s “
The unlawful killing of two or more victims by the same offender(s), in separate events”, which has boosted the percentage of black serial killers overall.
There’s an interesting book about it which I highly recommend.
