Less Leaded gas in the air.

>>17854307 (OP)
Advances in forensics, the advent of the Internet, more interconnectivity between law enforcement agencies (NCIC), and other technological developments.

>>17854329
make sense but theymust be born like that, or develop according to events in life, i really don't know

You made this thread because you saw this post, tard.

ha ha no it's perfectly possible to get away with it today other than that you need to be a little more careful to wipe semen or other DNA evidence from bodies. even then that only works if the victim was freshly killed if they're decomposed then that evidence is gone. and also if cops can't solve a murder in less than 72 hours they'll usually give up and it goes in the cold case file.

now LEA of course post memes like 17854337 because naturally they want to discourage you from crime and have you believe there's no way you won't get caught.

>>17854337
Also more cameras installed almost everywhere, on the street, in parkinglots etc...

Why is every post in this thread ChatGPT generated?

lol no there are countless unsolved murders still happening and active serial killers they just target populations nobody cares about like homeless people prostitutes and illegal immigrants. unless the victim is an attractive white female under 45 cops aren't going to try too hard to solve the murder.

This phenomenon is widely known as Missing White Woman Syndrome and anyway, it's not actually much harder to get away with it than it was in the 70s you just need to be a little more careful to clean DNA evidence (semen, etc) from the victim.

>Despite the popularity of the term "missing white woman syndrome", there have been few empirical studies examining the subject.[1][10] A 2016 study found that black missing persons received a disproportionately low share of news coverage when compared to their rate of missingness.[1] This study also found that once a missing persons case appeared in the news, white girls' and women's cases received more intense coverage than cases involving missing persons of other demographics.[1] In addition, in a later 2019 study, gender was a significant factor in media coverage of missing person cases. This study found that female victims receive more coverage overall, and national and out-of-state attention is even more skewed towards representing women.

>The 2019 study also found missing person cases involving White people received more media attention than those involving Black people.[10] However, the authors also reported that non-black women of color (such as Asian and Latina women) are just as over-represented as white women in news coverage, suggesting that the misnomer of "missing white woman syndrome" is rather a function of the under-representation of black women in media cases.[11] Analysis has also found that missing women are twelve times more likely than missing men to receive attention in Louisiana, despite men and women going missing at similar rates nationally.[12]

>The phenomenon has led to a number of tough-on-crime measures, mainly on the political right, that were named for white women who disappeared and were subsequently found harmed.[13][14] In addition to race and class, factors such as supposed attractiveness, body size, and youthfulness have been identified as unfair criteria in the determination of newsworthiness in coverage of missing women.[15] News coverage of missing black women was more likely to focus on the victim's problems, such as abusive boyfriends, criminal history, or drug addiction, while coverage of white women often tended to focus on their roles as mothers, daughters, students, and contributors to their communities.[16]

so, like, Dennis Rader jerked off next to his victims and left jizz there. they couldn't test that for DNA back then. if it was today he'd probably know to wipe it up and not leave the stuff there to be collected by police. also if you've been to jail the first thing that prisoners talk about is how to commit crime and not get caught. it does work as a filter for dummies though and makes it easier to catch less competent criminals.

wish they would be more honest about this shit and quit pretending white women are angelic beings who emit fairy dust and never once did anything stupid or acted in a trashy manner to get themselves killed. at least blacks are honest about women's true nature and don't try to pretend that they're angelic beings who emit fairy dust.

Most guys that would have been serial killers 50 years ago just become mass shooters today, a large part of the reason they become serial killers is for attention from the media.

truth is if cops can't solve a crime in 48-72 hours they'll usually give up and it goes in the cold case file

literal gibberish OP by the way guys.

>>17854908
Women in general are imperfect. You're more likely to find an honest man than a woman.

At this point you are inherently fucked if you commit any crime that warrants DNA testing and any of your relatives has ever done a heritage test.

>>17857830
nah you just need to be a little more careful about cleaning up body fluids. also that only tends to work if the corpse is fresh and decomposition hasn't started so DNA evidence and whatnot is gone.

>>17857821
Really stupid to say this in a thread about serial killers which are over 90% male, a number that gets even higher if you only consider those who went after random victims and not just poisoning their husbands

>>17857925
Women killers rarely kill random victims they're usually always family or a person in their care.

>>17854307 (OP)
That's pretty much it. In the past there were no security cameras or electronic sensors nearly anywhere, all records were handled on paper, contacting emergency services required a landline, and there was a culture of getting into other people's cars for rides if they're heading the same way you are.

Today every house has a Ring camera, every person has an instant police contact device in their pocket, all data about everyone is in electronic databases, and we're distrustful in the extreme of strangers. It's nearly impossible to be a serial killer

Modern culture lends itself more to incel mass shooters the serial killer epidemic was peculiar to the mentality of the 70s which was being a free-wheeling outlaw who does as you please with no rules.

>>17854337
Cops are in fact worse and less competent at solving crimes now than back then because many of them are too lazy and think technology will auto-solve crime for them and they don't have to do old-fashioned detective work anymore.

white male boomers literally got away with anything

they can literally kill a girl then just say it's ketchup and their cat screaming when the police came and the police would say lol ok and leave

>>17859590
Hamas cheating Mossad's electronic surveillance by using pencil and paper communication prior to 10/7 is proof of why overreliance on technology can backfire.

because most serial killers are black and the media is afraid to report them to avoid sounding racist

>>17859940
Missing White Woman Syndrome is a very real thing btw. I also believe Alton Coleman would have never been caught if he didn't kill one one victim.

>>17854337
all that changes today is that you'd have to be more careful about cleaning DNA evidence from bodies and even then it's only useful on a freshly killed corpse before decomposition has started

The 70s were freaking insane.

>tie up teenage hitchhikers in your basement and rape and torture them for days and the Barney Fife cops have no clue what's going on
>if you get caught spend 3 months in court-ordered psychiatric care and declare that you're all better and won't do it again

>>17854307 (OP)
Two reasons:
>reporting on serial killers causes a copycat effect
>there hasn't been a draft in America for 60 years to create a generation of traumatized trained killers who can't even hold a job washing cars
