From 1877 to 1892, Dr. Thomas Neill Cream murdered seven women, all
prostitutes or patients seeking abortions, in England and North
America. A Prescription for Murder begins with Angus McLaren s
vividly detailed story of the killings. Using press reports and
police dossiers, McLaren investigates the links between crime and
respectability to reveal a remarkable range of Victorian sexual
tensions and fears. McLaren explores how the roles of murderer and
victim were created, and how similar tensions might contribute to
the onslaught of serial killing in today s society.
