Just as there is no single, accepted definition of rape worldwide. It doesn't therefore nullify the word.
The word is there because there is a need/desire for a word to describe that. If you took away the term serial killer, society would come up with some other label for killers who kill multiple people over an extended time period, as would law enforcement.
Is it normal I think we need to throw out the term 'Serial Killer'?
