Why are there so many serial killers in Australia comparative to its rather small population?
Despite only comprising of 22 million, Australia has a similar number of serial killers to the likes of France, Germany, Japan, Russia etc.. (all have much larger populations). It is not that far behind the UK or US either. So why so many?
Can extreme boredom frequently lead to this sort of behaviour? i.e. Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney are all in New South Wales, so if you live in Western Australia, you may feel as though there is virtually nothing to do (in the middle of nowhere)?
Because Australians are the ancestors of millions of criminals.

There are more than likely many more serial killers than have been reported worldwide.
Australia with such a large land mass has a lot room for bodies to be disposed of and never found.
The lack of civilization in remote areas (law enforcement). The Aborigines have kept to themselves and there are numerous reports of rapes even with adolescents being the perpetrators. A high incidence of venereal disease among even young children bears this out.
Google Australia and read some newspapers from different areas of the country and you will see what I am talking about.

Australia is mostly desert, and lack of people mean those that are so inclined can go and murder people in deserted areas where no-one can ever find them. Serial killers must love that place!
Plus the heat must make some of them go a bit doolally..
Edit: also what James C said…

(Ouch! Don’t be hurting me Aussie people!)

It’s called the Chikatilo syndrome. (after Andrei Chikatilo, a Rusian serial killer) In many countries around the world law enforcement doesn’t look for links between murders as much, they have a harder time identifying serial killers’ signatures because they mostly believe that serial killers are an american phenomenon. Australia has had clear experiences with serial killers and learned from them.
In other words, it’s not that there are more serial killers in the US and Australia than other countries but that no one looks for serial killers as much and so they go undiscovered for decades, if discovered at all.
