Criminal profiling has been with us for several decades and the
narrative is heavily focused upon the 'nature vs. nurture' debate
as opposed to trying to understand the psychological, biological,
and social factors of the individuals that commit some of the
world's most despicable and heinous crimes. Serial killers and
serial offenders are the monsters who haunt our nightmares and
although they exist silently among us, we are still no closer to
fully understanding them as individuals. What made Ted Bundy kill
young middle-class women? What made Peter Sutcliffe kill women from
different social strata? What made Thomas Hamilton commit a mass
murder against innocent school children? These are the pertinent
questions that are constantly stymied by simply discussing the
'nature vs. nurture' debate. This book seeks to move the boundaries
of this debate to provide a more dynamic approach to the art and
theory of the discipline of profiling serial killers and prolific
and repeat offenders. Dark Psychosis: Profiling Serial Killers
& Prolific Offenders focuses on the darkest psychological
traits of the individual perpetrators whether they are resultant
from nature, nurture, or a combination of both. This book can be
used as a resource for students, amateur sleuths, and those with a
general interest in criminal psychology and criminal profiling.
