Reddit reviews Rise of the Black Serial Killer: Documenting a Startling Trend

False. It's just that black serial killers don't make the news as much because their victims are also mostly black. And therefore don't count.

No, I mean specifically black serial killers, not gang killings.

In Rise of the Black Serial Killers: Documenting a Startling Trend, Justin Cottrell expels the myth that serial killers in America are predominately white. On the contrary after sifting through a myriad of newspaper records and books, he's compiled a list of murderers that is equal too or greater than the number of white serial killers from 1860 to present. Few if any have ever heard any of their names or stories, until now.

Based on his findings white serial killers have been underrepresented throughout American history when compared to the percentage of the population they represent by a factor of 1.79 on average.

On the other hand, black serial killers have been overrepresented 2.68 to 7 times their portion of the population, with a 150 year average of 4.18.

Another startling trend he uncovered is black serial killers have never represented less than 26.83% of the number of serial killers in a given decade, despite their overall percentage of the population never exceeding 13.1%. This trend has steadily increased to the point that in our current decade they represent 88.24% of the number of serial killers apprehended since 2010, yet only account for 12.6% of the populace.

Aside from trends, this book offers reasons most people assume black serial killers don't exist--from the media prohibition on the subject, to general misunderstandings. Coupled with this is a look into the various factors that breed serial killers, with a look into why black serial killers are on the rise, while white serial killers are on the decline.

To prove his research is valid, a full list of every black serial killer is provided, along with a brief description of their crimes. In addition to this the biographies of 35 of these killers are given, with detailed information about their crimes.

You could also look at this book.

Or the book Serial Murderers and Their Victims. But I doubt you really give a shit.

> I don't know what proportions or per capita means

A Problem With The Typical Profile

Now look back to the OP. The race with the highest percentage of serial killings: BLACK, not white. And if you know anything about trends the numbers show the number of white serial killers will continue to decrease while the number of black serial killers will increase.

>"Or trot out the fact that most serial killers and pedophiles are white males."

Speaking just in total numbers? Maybe. Adjusting the statistic to the current white population.? Ops, sorry but no.

I guess that negatives(and false in this case) stereotypes are ok is they are about whites, you can read more about this myth here, but careful now, it might brake your preconceived view of society.
