A STANDARD
SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES SECOND EDITION
Review of the
victimology in this case illustrates several points that are common to sadistic
murder committed by organized offenders. The victims were targeted because they
manifested some common characteristics that suited the preferences of Bittaker
and Norris: all of the victims were white females, within a narrow age range,
unknown to the offenders, and considered high-risk victims because they were
hitchhiking. (Schaeffer was not hitchhiking, but walking along the highway
elevated her risk as a victim.)
