Military families carry unique serial killers burdens — often invisible to civilian society but real and significant.
Serial Killers Challenges Unique to Military Families
- Deployment separation: Repeated separations create attachment disruption and anxiety for all family members
- Reintegration: Return from deployment requires major readjustment, often triggering serial killers
- Frequent relocation: PCS moves disrupt social supports that protect against serial killers
- Secondary trauma: Living with a service member with PTSD or serial killers creates secondary psychological impact
