		Fiction blurs with reality for the general public who expect profiling to be the answer to solving murders, rapes, and other violent crimes.
		While serial murder by women is relatively rare, a surprising number of female serial killers are identified by the authors, nearly 100 in the 20th Century, with half of them having committed their crimes in America.
		Abstract: Departing from a traditional clinical approach in terms of diagnostic categorizations of serial killers and from a conventional descriptive study in which generic aspects of serial murders such as modus operandi are described and interpreted, this article presents a qualitative approach as essential to a more comprehensive understanding of serial murderers.

	Hannibal Lecter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Graham was investigating a series of murders in the Baltimore area committed by a serial killer, and had turned to Lecter for professional advice (and perhaps for personal counselling, as much of the story deals with Graham's disturbed nature revolving around his obsession with his work).
		Upon seeing these, Graham knew Lecter was the killer he sought; the sixth victim had been killed in his workshop and laced to a pegboard in a manner reminiscent of Wound Man, an illustration used in many early medical books.
		In many ways, the character became the template for cinematic portrayals of serial killers from that point on as cold, calculating master criminals who live to play "cat and mouse" with the police, manipulating both their victims and the detectives who "hunt" them like pawns in a game of chess.
