Are the victims always/primarily female?
I think time will tell on this one.
I really want an episode where the bad guy is a woman.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I know women seem to be underrepresented as serial killers. When it comes to sick-twitch killings, how do the genders break down?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Me too. I think the thought was since most violent crimes are perpetrated (is that the right word?) against women, that a woman profiling the victims makes sense.
Unless I'm talking out of my ass. I disremember.
I really would have liked to have skipped out on work and taken myself out for a yummy breakfast at House of Pies, followed by a shopping trip to get cute prezzies for my wee nephew (and some dye to freshen up the purple).
Then some movie renting, maybe marinate some chicken for dinner, lie in bed and read for a couple of hours, dabble in some writing...
Gah. It would have been a perfect day for that. Damn.

There's been a steady rise in women as violent offenders since the 70s. It's something like seven or eight percent of serial killers are women, the majority of them being in this country.

Are the Inside crimes more than "merely" violent? Like Wire In The Blood is about serial killers, and SVU is ... well, let's not talk about that -- you know -- is there a signature?

Hi, it's a Tim Minear show.

If I only had a brain...
But after reading the new pilot script, which features a significantly changed story line, Facinelli asked to be released from the project, sources said.
Okay, that answers my question. You can ask to be released if you don't like the new direction of a show.

That's what I figured -- why I asked about "sick twitch" crimes. Are women meeting their quota there, or do we need Affirmative Action?

Are you willing to contribute to the cause, ita?

I feel confident in our ability to be just as sick and twisted as the next guy.
Tim might need some convincing.
