Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Greer and Jewkes define 'absolute other' as those who are seen as fundamentally different and abnormal, and who challenge the established social order. A female serial killer would fit this definition as they are seen as extremely deviant and challenge the norms of society. The other choices, while they may face social stigma or struggle with issues, do not necessarily challenge the social order in the same way.
