Hitmen are often portrayed as cold, efficient killers who do not have a personal connection to their victims. They may work for criminal organizations, drug cartels, or individual clients. An assassin, on the other hand, is someone who carries out a political or ideological killing.
Assassins and hitmen are both very well alive today. The most recent assassination that comes to mind is of Iranian nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, who was killed in 2012 when a magnetic bomb was attached to the side of his car. Iran blames the CIA, though they deny any involvement.
Contract killers ("hitmen") may exhibit similar characteristics of serial killers, but are generally not classified as such because of third-party killing objectives and detached financial and emotional incentives. Nevertheless, there are occasionally individuals that are labeled as both a hitman and a serial killer.
A contract killer is colloquially known as a hitman.
The variety of mercenary crime is contract killing. Self-interest is clearly expressed in it.
A hitman, on the other hand, is a term that is often synonymous with contract killer although it can also be used to denote a criminal who frequently carries out a targeted killing (referred to as a "hit") on behalf of an organized crime syndicate to which they are affiliated with.
The mission-oriented killer sees his goal as eliminating an identifiable group of people such as prostitutes or young women. The hedonistic type kills for the pleasure derived from the act of killing. Finally, the power/control-oriented type derives gratification from exerting control over a helpless victim.
