Assuming they each committed exactly one murder, that would give us. The estimate should probably be a bit more conservative, because some people do commit multiple murders and others will end up in jail later for unrelated charges, so my best estimate would be that 1 in of your fellow community members is a successful murderer.
Plugging that 0. At that rate, it will only take about 53 days before you passed your first murderer. The average unsolved murder is much more likely to be the work of a serial killer than one that is solved. You can see MurderData. As others pointed out, many are eventually released. But also, they continue to meet people even while they are detained, e. This lays bare another feature of the distribution, which is that it is likely to be very lopsided. An alternative approach to your calculation, after estimating how many killers there are, would be to work out how many different people each of them meets after the first murder.
A remaining problem is that the numbers change over the course of a lifetime: population is increasing over time, and the meeting numbers may not be entirely scale-free. Also, the US murder rate is decreasing. But what about Americans who come from or go to other countries? It becomes fun if you count future murderers. This article was fantastic. I am sure in your research you included the small amount of people, and this would have to be one in a trillion or a zillion, that a person met 2 serial killers in their life time.
And I am sure it would be an xtra million, trillion, that the above said person also got away from the two different serial killers. There are some things that statistics and research and numbers cannot answer.
If you are interested in anymore let me know. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I met a killer that was not serial. I was married to him. I grew up with 3 people that are doing life sentences. I have been in jail in 4 Stats and have been around at least 6 to 10 more. I know these are not normal circumstances. Also growing up was surrounded by pretty bad group of people.. In fact, there is an interesting online community, solving Fermi problems, such as, how many murderers will you walk past, how many miles will you […].
By some calculations, if you live to be 75 years old, you may very well walk past almost 11 unapprehended murderers, […]. Out of those roughly 80, the average Joe of us meets in a lifetime, 36 of them will be murderers.
