Serial Killers and Robert Pickton

serial offenders: When we first began studying homicides in our database, one thing that jumped out was the large number of cases attributed to a handful of serial offenders, such as Robert Pickton, John Crawford and Cody Legebokoff, according to Globe and Mail. Upon deeper analysis of serial-homicide data, we found that indigenous women were overrepresented among the victims of serial killers in Canada. Hoping to better understand the over-representation of indigenous people among Canada missing and murdered women, The Globe and Mail is compiling a database of relevant cases. We decided to create an immersive multimedia feature that explores some of the common themes that emerged from our analysis, by recounting the lives of five women who died at the hands of different Canadian serial killers. How did The Globe acquire this data In late 2014, the Native Women Association of Canada provided The Globe with data collected during its Sisters in Spirit initiative. We believe their stories illuminate some of the social forces that contributed to their vulnerability to some of Canada most dangerous men. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
