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.
