Preferred term

rippers (serial murderers)  

Definition

  • Several common themes run through the acts of murderers known as “rippers.” Most salient is that they violently mutilate or literally rip their victims open and often dismember them. Most, but not all, ripper murderers select prostitutes as their victims. [Source: Encyclopedia of Murder and Violent Crime; Rippers]
