Answer to Question 1

Answer: Serial murder is the murder of separate victims with time breaks as short as two days to as much as weeks or even months between victims. Sensational murder is murder that arouses intense public interest. Spree murder is killing in a rampage fashion. It is defined as that which is committed when someone embarks on a murderous assault on his or her victims (two or more) in a short time in multiple locations. Mass murder consists of four or more murders in a single incident within a short span of time. Examples will vary, but should be different than what is provided in the textbook.
