Summary/Abstract: A serial killer is, by definition, the denial of organized society, the cancellation of any respect and any solidarity. Perhaps these serial killers do not attribute any value to human life or consider it "something" they can use as they please. They are very aggressive and violent, they want to generate fear. The challenge for those who can access one way or another these criminals is to try to understand and explain who they are and why they act as they do. They also try to see the difference between the passionate assassin that usually kills once, and he who kills in a short time a large number of people. After somehow indentifying who these serial killers are, a clarification of the phenomenon was necessary, and it was achieved by seeking a global vision of these assassins all over the world.
