**V ICTIM P ROFILES**

Victims include prostitutes picked up from the streets, women seduced by him in clubs, homeless people strewn about the alleyway. Killed because they were shallow and worthless, two things that repulse Bateman, even though he, himself, is really no different. Women were killed during or after sex, mostly for sadistic sexual pleasure.

Killed a fellow co-worker out of jealousy and disdain for being more fashionable and financially well-endowed than he was.

Killed a dog because it annoyed him.

Total number of victims range from 20 to 40.
