“Serial murder is a social aberration that has arisen within the last two hundred years and – thanks to modern forensic policing and behavioural science – might effectively cease to happen within the next generation or so. Other once universal forms of crime have been driven out of existence by both technology and society’s willingness to combat them creatively; banditry and slavery, to name just two. So it is not too much to hope that the serial killer might soon go the way of the Viking raider... and the Roman gladiator: a gruesome evidence of human cruelty, only to be found in the pages of history books. Until that happy day, however, there are always new cases to record and old cases to update . . . Andrei Chikatilo The Russian Andrei Chikatilo operated throughout the 1980s, mostly around the city of Rostov on Don. He was able to go on killing for such a long period largely because of the Soviet policy of refusing to give publicity to criminal cases, in a futile effort to convince the world that, compared to the decadent West, Russia was virtually free of crime.MoreLessRead More Read Less
