ABSTRACT
This chapter compares male clients of prostitute women who killed multiple prostitutes with those who killed one prostitute. It examines demographics and criminal histories of single and serial killers of prostitutes at the time of their first known prostitute homicides. Prostitute women have the highest homicide victimization rate of any population of women studied. The chapter analyses client perpetrators of solved prostitute homicides, assaults, and rapes in a national search of US media sources. It describes data from two samples of client perpetrators of prostitute homicide. Serial perpetrators were modestly more likely to have a sex offense history, which suggests that sexual motivations may be somewhat more prominent for serial killers of prostitute women. The chapter summarizes the demographics and criminal histories for single and serial prostitute killers in the NCAVC sample. In conclusion, single and serial prostitute killers were generally similar on the variables.
