In Rise of the Black Serial Killers: Documenting a Startling Trend,
Justin Cottrell expels the myth that serial killers in America are
predominately white. On the contrary after sifting through a myriad
of newspaper records and books, he's compiled a list of murderers
that is equal too or greater than the number of white serial
killers from 1860 to present. Few if any have ever heard any of
their names or stories, until now. Based on his findings white
serial killers have been underrepresented throughout American
history when compared to the percentage of the population they
represent by a factor of 1.79 on average. On the other hand, black
serial killers have been overrepresented 2.68 to 7 times their
portion of the population, with a 150 year average of 4.18. Another
startling trend he uncovered is black serial killers have never
represented less than 26.83% of the number of serial killers in a
given decade, despite their overall percentage of the population
never exceeding 13.1%. This trend has steadily increased to the
point that in our current decade they represent 88.24% of the
number of serial killers apprehended since 2010, yet only account
for 12.6% of the populace. Aside from trends, this book offers
reasons most people assume black serial killers don't exist-from
the media prohibition on the subject, to general misunderstandings.
Coupled with this is a look into the various factors that breed
serial killers, with a look into why black serial killers are on
the rise, while white serial killers are on the decline. To prove
his research is valid, a full list of every black serial killer is
provided, along with a brief description of their crimes. In
addition to this the biographies of 35 of these killers are given,
with detailed information about their crimes.
