Sexual homicide continues to be one of the most widely reported and
sensationalised forms of murder, attracting fascination from the
public and scholars alike. Despite this continued interest, few
empirical studies have been conducted on this particular form of
sexual crime. The Sexual Murderer provides an analytical review of
the state of knowledge on the sexual murderer and his offense, and
presents new data that confronts some of the accepted ideas and
myths surrounding this type of homicide. The authors draw on
original data stemming from both offenders and the police to
present an exhaustive and accurate picture of the sexual murderer
and his offense, and compare the sex offenders who do kill with sex
offenders who, despite being very violent, do not. Each chapter
includes a section on the practical implications of the findings,
and what the findings mean for professionals working with these
cases and for the criminal justice system. This book explores
themes including the role of fantasies, paraphilias, and
personality; criminal career; context of the crime; journey to
murder; modus operandi and crime scene; sex trade workers; avoiding
detection; body disposal pathways; and whether we can predict
sexual homicide occurrence. This book is a comprehensive resource
for academic and professionals involved in sexual homicide cases,
such as psychologists, psychiatrists, investigators and profilers,
as well as individuals working in the field of sexual violence.
This book will also be of interest to students taking courses on
homicide, sexual homicide, and serial homicide.
