theory and practical considerations of homicide investigations.

criminology, and sexual deviance.
A definitive compendium of Canada's mass murderers and spree
killers. Rampage: a state of anger or agitation resulting in
violent, reckless, and destructive behaviour. In 1989, Marc Lepine
mercilessly executed 14 female students at Montreal's Ecole
Polytechnique to become Canada's most notorious mass murderer. The
following year spree killer Peter John Peters roamed from London,
Ontario, to Thunder Bay, leaving a trail of bloodied bodies, broken

devastating destiny - they embarked on homicidal rampages that
shook their nation to the core. Lee Mellor has gathered more than
25 of Canada's most lethal mass and spree killers into a single
work. Rampage details their grisly crimes, delves into their
twisted psyches, and dissects their motivations to answer the

serial killers are dangerous, prepare for something deadlier ...
