In the 1970s, there were nearly 300 known active serial killers in the U.S. The 1970s to 2000 period in the United States was known as the "golden age of serial murder". Many factors contributed to this increase in serial killings, including social changes, urbanization, and a lack of forensic technology.
The spike in serial killings in the 1970s is thought to be due to urbanization, which put people in close proximity and offered anonymity. DNA was not available, which is why so many old cold cases are being solved today, decades later. Preserving evidence from the 70s was invaluable to finding closure.
