Preferred term

spree murders  

Definition

  • Defining spree murder is most clearly done in relation to other types of multiple murders. Mass murderers kill many in one incident (usually in minutes or hours), whereas serial killers kill numerous victims, with a “cooling off” period between each victim (often over several years). [Source: Encyclopedia of Murder and Violent Crime; Spree Murders]
