A STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES SECOND EDITION

 

Defining Characteristics

Victimology. The victims of mercy/hero killers are similar. The mercy killer targets most often the critically ill, elderly, or infirm. They are usually patients in a hospital, nursing home, or other institutional setting. The victim is engaged in a client-caregiver relationship with the offender. The victim is rarely a random victim but is known to the offender. The victim’s environment and lifestyle are low risk, but his or her dependency or state of health elevates risk.
