A superbly targeted resource for those wanting to learn about
serial killings. Deals with and analyses some of the best known (as
well as lesser) cases from English criminal history, ancient and
modern. Looks at the lifestyles, backgrounds and activities of
those who become serial killers. Identifies clear categories of
individuals into which most serial killers fall. Led by Professor
David Wilson the authors are all experts and practised teachers
concerning the ever-intriguing phenomenon of serial killing: why,
when and how it happens and whether it can be predicted. Taking
some of the leading cases from English law and abroad they
demonstrate the patterns that emerge in the lives and backgrounds
of those who kill a number of times over a period. The book is
aimed at those studying the topic as an academic discipline,
whether on one of the many courses now run by institutions or as a
serious attempt at private study and understanding.It contains
notes on key terms and explanations of essential topics such as
co-activation, Munchausen syndrome, cooling-off period, psychopathy
checklist, social construction, case linkage, family annihilation,
activity space, rational choice theory, medicalization and
rendezvous discipline. As the first textbook of its kind it will be
an invaluable resource for both teaches and all students of serious
crime whether formally or self-taught.
