Abstract

A sample of Danish killers chose their victims within their circle of relatives or acquaintances in nine cases out of every ten. This ratio revealed no significant change from the prewar to the postwar years in spite of a growing tendency to kill. The rarity of strangers as victims obtained regardless of whether the killer survived and was rated normal or abnormal or whether he committed suicide.
