Jag tycker jag känner igen det där med yrkeschaufförer och grova våldsbrott, men hittar inte någon bra källa på stående fot (Adrian Raine månne? Halv- eller helskojaren Sven Å C:son?). Dock finns det en abstract till vetenskaplig artikel som styrker hypotesen; åtminstone för brittiska förhållanden över seriemördare för något årtionde sedan:
Driven to Kill: British Serial Killers and their Occupations
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/hojo.12142/abstract
Numera är väl yrkesförare så monitorerade med digital och automatisk loggning, videokamera, GPS och pressade scheman att det är svårare. Vilket inte hindrar dem under påbjuden vila att begå brott, eller nyttja sin lokalkännedom på sin fritid, förstås.
Liknade statistik i USA, även om den har 7 år på nacken
"FBI makes a connection between long-haul truckers, serial killings"
"Federal authorities first made the connection about five years ago while helping police link a trucker to a string of unsolved killings along Interstate 40 in Oklahoma and several other states. Anfter that, the FBI launched the Highway Serial Killings Initiative to track suspicious slayings and suspect truckers."
"A computer database maintained by the FBI has grown to include information on more than 500 female crime victims, most of whom were killed and their bodies discarded at truck stops, motels and other locations along popular trucking routes crisscrossing the U.S."
"The database also has information on scores of truckers who've been charged with killings or rapes committed near highways or who are suspects in such crimes, officials said. Authorities said they do not have statistics on whether driving trucks ranks high on the list of occupations of known serial killers."
"
But the pattern in roadside body dumps and other evidence has prompted many investigators to speculate that the mobility, lack of supervision and access to potential victims that come with the job make it a good cover for someone inclined to kill."
