From serial murderers to parents who kill, Fatal Violence: Case
Studies and Analysis of Emerging Forms provides an insider's look
at a phenomenon that has existed since the dawn of man and cuts
across social/economic barriers and cultures. Offering a rare
glimpse into the minds of predators and containing chilling details
of motives and methods, this volume explores gang violence, serial
and mass murderers, filicide, rape, workplace violence, school
shootings, and hate crimes. It also delves into the unusual and
shocking practices of vampirism and cannibalism.

understand the motives behind why these individuals do what they
do, the authors present information that has previously gone
uncovered or merely speculated upon. This fascinating volume
includes:

century

contributed to his or her actions
- Criminal profiling theories in unsolved murders
- Interviews with killers

violence

data and events, discussion questions to provoke further inquiry,
and numerous references for further study, making it a compelling
resource for professionals and academia alike.
