A new golden age of serial killers
Tuesday 4 September at 3:10pm
The 70s, 80s and 90s are sometimes called the "golden age" of serial killers. That's when Ted Bundy's reign of terror happened before he confessed to killing 30 women, and Jeffery Dahmer killed and cooked 17 men and boys. Peter Vronksy is a criminal justice expert who says conditions are perfect for another golden age of serial killers to begin in the next decade or so. His warning is in his new book, Sons of Cain: A History of Serial Killers From the Stone Age to the Present.
