About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Serial Murder and the Psychology of Violent Crimes is a compilation of provocative … chapters dealing with topics that represent some of the darkest and least understood aspects of humankind. … a must-read for all researchers and practitioners who work with female offenders. … the book has some truly remarkable features and respectable, quality scholarship that could easily stand on its own. … This is a good book to have for … the outstanding chapters that could not otherwise be obtained." (Robert K. Welsh and Joseph D. Muto, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 53 (24), June, 2008)
