{{Hatnote|'''Infobox templates redirected here:&nbsp; murderer, mass murderer, mass spree killer, serial killer, spree killer.'''}}

==Usage==

'''Choose this template judiciously. Unwarranted or improper use of this template may violate the [[WP:BLP|Biographies of living persons]], [[WP:NPOV|Neutral point of view]] and [[WP:PRIVACY|Privacy]] policies.'''

This template is generally reserved for '''convicted''' serial killers, gangsters, mass murderers, old west outlaws, murderers, mafia members, fugitives, FBI 10 Most Wanted, serial rapists, mobsters, and other notorious criminals. It is also appropriately used in [[Nolle prosequi]] cases of perpetrators dying during the commission of the act or shortly thereafter, common in a [[suicide attack]] or [[murder–suicide]]. Infobox criminal is rarely used where notability is not due '''primarily''' to the person being a convicted criminal.
