The term "serial killer" has its origins in several sources, including former FBI agent Robert Ressler, LAPD detective Pierce Brooks, and German criminologist Ernst Gennat.
To answer the question of which country has the most serial killers, you need to define that term first. Nothing like good semantics to help us from a logical perspective!

Although the origin of the term can be ambiguous and easily translated into other languages, there is no doubt that the United States is home to the largest number of serial killers documented in their history, and that's why we often prefer to speak "serial killer" instead of "murderer in series".
In fact, the US tops this category by a wide margin over the next ten closest countries combined. The distance between the United States and other countries is stark and, if you are a good movie connoisseur, series and documentaries, here is the justification in the form of numbers: there are more than 3 thousand cases registered.
Countries with the most serial killers
Brazil does not appear among the top 10 in the list organized by the institution Radford University Serial Killer Information Center, as it is occupying the fourteenth position with 27 cases of serial killers.
- United States: 3,204 cases;
- England: 166 cases;
- South Africa: 117 cases;
- Canada: 106;
- Italy: 97;
- Japan: 96;
- Germany: 85;
- Australia: 81;
- India: 80;
- Russia: 73.
For England to take the position of the United States, since it took second place, it would need to arise 3,039 cases of serial killers and reach a new level.
Despite the great distance, “Jack the Ripper” was a real character who marked the history of England.
The best known in the USA are Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Ricardo Ramirez, Ed Gein, Ted Bundy and Charles Manson, but most cases did not gain notoriety to be so well known, despite assuming a leading role scary.
