"piquerism" seems to be a questionable term, removing for now. Whilst there are a number of Google hits, many from copies of this article, the word does not appear in the New Oxford Dictionary of English, nor in Google's online dictionary or any other authorritative source I can find so far. There is also a discussion on the validity of this term at http://www.apa.org/monitor/julaug03/jn.html, which states, among other things:

The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second District took issue with the purportedly expert testimony, stating that "It is now clear that the expert's qualifications were largely perjured, and that the syndrome, dubbed 'piquerism' is referenced nowhere but in a true-crime paperback."

Piquerism is a very common term used within the field by professionals both modern and historical and is in several textbooks. What idiot came up with that? Dr. Robert Keppel, et. al., use the term quite frequently in the The Journal of Offender Profiling when discussing lust murder, and he's about as qualified expert as there comes in these things. HOLY MOLY what goofballs came up with the idea it isn;t real? YIKES they are clueless. 172.129.223.71 14:33, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] the murder in the hunchback of notre dame

was frollo's murder of phoebus lust murder, don't you think?

[edit] Untitled

"A lust murder begins with the obsessive compulsions of the offender." This is inaccurate -- wanting to commit lust murder has nothing to do with OCD (which the words "obsessive compulsions" link to). Eilicea 21:49, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

This is absolutely true - I removed the link and changed it to simply "obsessions." 69.118.25.126 18:00, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ted Bundy and Ed Gein

While Bundy raped his victims often, he was not motivated by sex. He sought to dominate and control his victims and the sexual aspect of his murders was merely another way of having power over them. I have removed the Ted Bundy link from the bottom.

Also, Ed Gein was not motivated by sex or lust but by the desire to return his mother to life. Gein's link has been removed. GSMR (talk) 20:40, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
