In the present study, relations between the criminal styles of mass murder cases and the attributes of criminals were examined. Following reviews of former studies on mass murder cases, the accrual mass murder cases in Japan were analyzed. Firstly, in the analysis, seventy-seven mass murder cases, which took place in the period between 1974 and 2009, were categorized on the basis of multidimensional scaling into three groups, that is, an "indiscriminate murder" type, a "suicide of an entire family" type, and an "atrocious crime" type.
