- Female_Serial_Killers abstract "Female Serial Killers: How and Why Women Become Monsters is a non-fiction true crime history by Peter Vronsky, a criminal justice historian. It surveys the history of female perpetrated serial homicide, its culture, psychopathology and its investigation from the Roman Empire to the mid-2000s.The book describes historical cases of female perpetrated serial murder from early recorded instances in ancient Rome to medieval and Renaissance Europe, Victorian Britain and its rise and escalation in the United States and the world in the postmodern era. Vronsky's central contention is that female serial killers, while exhibiting different forensic 'signatures' from male counterparts, inevitably kill for the same reasons that male offenders do: for power and control.Vronsky cites statistics that indicate one in nearly every six (16 percent) serial killers apprehended in the United States since 1820 was a female, either acting alone or as a partner of a male or female offender. He states that contrary to popular belief, female serial killers prefer to murder their male husbands, other people they have been intimately involved with or family members. Vronsky states that currently female serial killers marginally prefer strangers as victims and that historically in the United States, 53 percent of female serial killers had murdered at least one adult female and 32 percent at least one female child.Reviews of the book by readers on Amazon.com and Goodreads.com argue on Vronsky's assessment of the politics of radical feminism in the context of predatory female behavior vs. female victimization, and, in particularly, his harsh criticism of radical feminist Phyllis Chesler and her role in the failed and highly politicized trial defense of female serial killer Aileen Wuornos as herself a victim of systemic male aggression. Charged in the predatory serial murders of seven male victims, Wuornos a Florida sex worker claimed that each one had attempted to rape her during their encounters with her and her killing them was an act of self-defense.".
