The Rise of Serial Killers

I just read book after book after book about serial killers, including all these profiler books. I feel like the rise of serial killers was also paralleled with the rise of this idea of a profiler that you can look at the crimes and be like, oh, this person drives a Ford Pinto,. And he lives with his relatives, but not his mother. Serial killers did for the FBI, what the exorcist did for the Catholic Church. Like it's the best PR that both of those very troubled outfits could have possibly asked for.
