While my book "Elements of Crime Patterns" considers that any type of crime is serial if the same offender(s) commit them, most people think of serial crimes as pertaining to murder and sexual assaults. The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program has a database that I urge all U.S. law enforcement agencies to utilize to capture the details of such possible serial crimes. This can lead to identification of suspects and thus end of a significant violent crime series.
Some of he nuances identified in my book are the specific kinds of things recorded in the database.
Data on missing persons and identified human remains are also in this database. Related posters can be found at this link.
