Nayrt - in this case though, if you've ever bothered to research criminal profiling and the different proposed definitions of serial murder, you should know that it is. Other and perhaps more scientific and fact-based typologies, which look at crime scene variables and psychological motivation as classifying factors, rarely use the words "serial murder". Schlesinger used "compulsive murderer", for example. "Serial killer" is and remains a term used by the FBI around the 80s and applied most commonly according to the number of victims.

Yep. Before the definition was basically the same, but with three or more people. Aside from the time period thing, it literally is only about the number of victims, at least for the FBI. Although, like you said, other organizations/groups might use different criteria.
