Abstract
The modus operandi of female serial killers was examined from a chrono logy of 58 cases in America and 47 cases in 17 other countries. compil ed over 25-year intervals. Female serial killers in other countries ac counted for a disproportionately greater number of victims, but those in America managed a longer killing career when associated with a low profile modus operandi.
