Recenzii
'This is the most comprehensive book on lust serial killing ever published. As well as including a detailed biopsychosocial perspective on this type of offending, it includes a series of biographical analyses which are logically grouped to provide the reader with a deep understanding of the psychological development of lust serial killers. One of the most interesting and thought-provoking books in the field!' Clare Allely, University of Salford, UK
'Understanding Sexual Serial Killing conveys complex ideas regarding the biopsychosocial elements of lust murder in prose that is refreshingly succinct and easily understandable. Complementing their sharp intellects with a pervading wisdom, the authors offer an indispensable contribution to the field. This book is among the best on sexual homicide to appear in the twenty-first century. No serious forensic psychologist or criminologist would risk omitting it from their library.' Lee Mellor, author of Cold North Killers: Canadian Serial Murder, UK
'This engaging, easy-to-follow text examines the profiles of different types of serial killer. These profiles are brought to life vividly through in-depth analysis using description and theory. This combination makes the text an invaluable source of archival information for general readers, students and academics alike.' Sandie Taylor, University of South Wales, UK
Descriere
Why do some people engage in serial killing for sexual pleasure? This book considers the phenomenon of sexual serial killing from the perspective of motivation theory, as advanced in psychology and neuroscience. By examining biological, psychological and social determinants, it develops a model of sexual killing that integrates widely dispersed existing literature. The first part of the book reviews scientific data and theories, while the second part presents biographical sketches of 80 sexual killers and links their early development and later killing to current theoretical understanding. The book examines cases of serial killers from the USA, Western Europe, Iran, Australia and South Africa, and it also includes an account of killers from the USSR, made available to non-Russian speakers for the first time. Deliberately written to avoid jargon, Understanding Sexual Serial Killing is accessible to students, scholars and professionals across psychology, sociology, forensic science and law.
