Description

This research examines commonalties in the background of females convicted of multiple murder in the United States. the existing literature concerning the phenomenon of female perpetrated multicide provides basic profiles of the women and their crimes. Research has shown that male serial killers tend to use overt methods such as bludgeoning, stabbing, and strangling to kill their victims; females use covert methods such as suffocation or poisoning. Prior research conducted by the F.B.I. has indicated an offender dichotomy of organized or disorganized offenders. Organized offenders planned their offenses and left little evidence. Disorganized offenders committed spontaneous homicides. This dichotomy has proven useful in criminal investigations. However, female multiple murderers had not been studied in the same way. Therefore, a research sample of seven females convicted of multiple homicide was interviewed to determine if females had similarities in their backgrounds. the interviews were conducted within six prisons. the goal was to generate a profile of the female offender based on background commonalties. This research is unique due to the fact that females rarely commit multicide. Thus, there were few incarcerated offenders to examine. the research involved in-depth, face-to-face interviews with seven female multiple murderers. Four offenders were convicted serial killers, and three offenders were convicted mass murderers. Serial killers murder two or more victims with an emotional cooling-off period between the homicides. Mass murderers kill five or more victims with no emotional cooling-off period between homicides. the interviews were conducted with the interviewer and convicted murderer, and they varied in length from 2 1/2 to 7 hours. the interviews were the primary data source, though trial transcripts, pre-sentence reports, and other sources were used as well. the results provide a profile of the female multiple murderer. Like their male counterparts, as children, female killers endured patterns of extreme emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Due to the familial turmoil, the female offender, like the male multiple murderer, turned inward to an introverted fantasy life. Isolation became a way of life, and contact with others became less frequent. It appears as if violence emerges from violence, whether the violence is physical, emotional, or sexual.
