Serial murderers generate an abundance of public interest, media
coverage, and law enforcement attention, yet after decades of
studies, serial murder researchers have been unable to answer the
most important question: Why? Providing a unique and comprehensive
exploration, Creating Cultural Monsters: Serial Murder in America
explains connections between American culture and the incidence of
serial murder, including reasons why most identified serial
murderers are white, male Americans. It describes the omnipresence
of serial murder in American media and investigates what it would
take to decrease its occurrence. Presenting empirically supported
arguments that have the potential to revolutionize how serial
murder is understood, studied, and investigated, this volume:
Places the serial murder phenomenon in a cultural context,
promoting qualitative understanding and the potential for reducing
its frequency Includes an illustrated model that explains how
people utilize cultural values to construct lines of action
according to their cultural competencies Demonstrates how the
American cultural milieu fosters serial murder and the creation of
white male serial murderers Provides a critique of the American
mass media's role in the development and notoriety of serial murder
Describes the framework on which the majority of definitions of
serial murder are based Drawn from years of dedicated research of
Dr. Julie B. Wiest, this volume presents a new approach to the
study of U.S. serial murder, offers important implications for law
enforcement and mass media, and forms a basis for future research
on serial murder, murder, and violence in the U.S. and in other
nations.
