Serial Murderers and Their VictimsThis text provides an in-depth, scholarly, and broad-based examination of serial murderers and their victims.

Author Eric Hickey examines the lives of over 400 serial murderers, analyzing the cultural, historical, and religious factors that influence our myths and stereotypes of these individuals. He then describes the biological, psychological, and sociological reasons for serial murder, offering his own Trauma-Control model for explaining serial murder behavior. |
