Why do serial killers gravitate towards certain kinds of
occupation? Jobs with minimum oversight or ties, the opportunity to
leave the radar and that bring them into proximity with potential
victims and whilst hiding in plain sight. Why also do they target
certain types of victim?Through his wide knowledge of the topic
honed at one of Britain's leading centres for criminological
studies, Adam Lynes demonstrates how theory, practice, profiling
and behaviour intertwine to identify the kind of people we should
fear (and especially if we fall within certain categories of
vulnerable people). The book also looks at those personality-types
most likely to become serial killers.From the text: "It is apparent
that driving as a form of occupational choice is a "popular" form
of employment for British serial murderers. In an effort to
determine why this may be, [the] case studies of eight British
serial murderers [in the book] demonstrate just how such an
occupation can impact upon these offenders' criminal behaviour
...These findings may prove to be of benefit to scholars of serial
murder, and to those who attempt to apprehend them." From Britain's
serial killing centre of excellence.Looks in depth at eight of
Britain's serial killer drivers, dealing with some of the most
notorious crimes of modern times. A fresh and uniquely interesting
perspective. Demonstrates the links between mobility, transience,
recognisance, predatory behaviour and acting out murderous fantasy.
Will be used for a range of courses on the subject.
