In this revelatory book, Dave Cullen has delivered a profile of teenage killers that goes to the heart of psychopathology.

In addition, Bonn examines the criminal profiling techniques used by law enforcement professionals to identify and apprehend serial predators, he discusses the various behaviors—such as the charisma of the sociopath— that manifest themselves in serial killers, and he explains how and why these killers often become popular cultural figures.\u003cbr\u003eGroundbreaking in its approach, \u003ci\u003eWhy We Love Serial Killers\u003c\/i\u003e is a compelling look at how the media, law enforcement agencies, and public perception itself shapes and feeds the monsters” in our midst.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical Books\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsychology\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eForensic Psychology\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Skyhorse","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":45262325022910,"sku":"1629144320-3","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":47662399520958,"sku":"1629144320-4","price":20.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71MJjaVf8bL.jpg?v=1754092385"},{"product_id":"006212532x-imperfect_justice_prosecuting_casey_anthony","title":"Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eJeff Ashton was part of the prosecution team in the Florida homicide trial of Casey Anthony, the single mother accused of murdering her little girl, Caylee.

As Trump’s Lawyer And “fixer,” Cohen Not Only Witnessed Firsthand But Was Also An Active Participant In The Inner Workings Of Trump’s Business Empire, Political Campaign, And Presidential Administration. This Is A Story That You Have Not Read In Newspapers, Or On Social Media, Or Watched On Television.

Maybe not... but hearing the whole story from Fisher herself-now a 30-year-old wife and mother and a columnist for the Long Island Press-is still irresistible. The easy-to-follow narrative, written in unadorned, often amateurish prose, unfolds chronologically. As Fisher explains, she was an abused child; her father had a hair-trigger temper and beat his wife and daughter. Refreshingly, though, Fisher doesn't get too wrapped up in victimizing herself. When she was 13, \"a bad age to move,\" the family relocated from one Long Island town to another, more upscale one. Fisher's parents struggled so she could keep up with at least the \"B-list\" girls, but once she met Joey Buttafuoco at his auto body shop, Fisher abandoned her rich friends to be with him. Then 36 and full of violent swagger, Buttafuoco seemed pretty cool. Before long he was pimping Fisher, but she complied, eager for his \"love and affection.\" When Buttafuoco suggested Fisher kill his wife, Mary Jo, arguing \"they don't put kids in jail,\" Fisher says she believed him. Yet she got so undone trying to threaten Mary Jo, she ended up beating her up with the gun instead (and, she says, it \"exploded and fired\" in the process). After seven abuse-filled years in prison, Fisher was finally freed on parole (but then had to fight the paparazzi). She laments that it's taken her years to get her life back on track. Bound to make any parent completely paranoid about their daughter's behavior, Fisher's story's is oddly engrossing. (Nov.) Forecast: This self-published book has already appeared on the New York Times bestseller list. If Fisher can land more publicity, sales could continue through the holidays.

He was arrested after fleeing a demonstration, survived a near-lynching at the hands of law enforcement, and spent seven years on chain gangs. During that time he met the undaunted Patsy, who would become his wife. Years later, at the age of fifty-one and with Patsy's encouragement, he started drawing and painting scenes from his youth using leather tooling skills he learned in prison. Chasing Me to My Grave presents Rembert's breathtaking body of work alongside his story, as told to Tufts Philosopher Erin I. Kelly. Rembert calls forth vibrant scenes of Black life on Cuthbert, Georgia's Hamilton Avenue, where he first glimpsed the possibility of a life outside the cotton field. As he pays tribute, exuberant and heartfelt, to Cuthbert's Black community and the people, including Patsy, who helped him to find the courage to revisit a traumatic past, Rembert brings to life the promise and the danger of Civil Rights protest, the brutalities of incarceration, his search for his mother's love, and the epic bond he found with Patsy.Vivid, confrontational, revelatory, and complex, Chasing Me to My Grave is a searing memoir in prose and painted leather that celebrates Black life and summons readers to confront painful and urgent realities at the heart of American history and society.\u003cbr\u003e      Review      \u003cbr\u003e“One-of-a-kind . . .

Rembert recounts diabolical abuse and violence with rare candor and precision . . . By using carved, tooled, and dyed leather as the medium for vibrantly patterned scenes from his life, Rembert turned the scars on his body and soul into artworks of clarion witness and reckoning. With a foreword by Bryan Stevenson and superb color reproductions, Rembert's self-portrait in word and image belongs in every library.” ―Donna Seaman, Booklist, starred review“Rembert's art expresses the legacy of slavery, the trauma of lynching, and the anguish of racial hierarchy and white supremacy while illuminating a resolve to fight oppression and injustice.

There will soon be a very juicy story involving this woman.\" Soon afterwards, Sinedu Tadesse stabbed to death her roommate, Trang Phuong Ho, and then hung herself. This book recounts the stories of these women, whose admission to Harvard was \"halfway heaven,\" a bridge to the American dream after lives of hardship. But they met instead with the darkest of all fates: a tragedy that might have been prevented. Sinedu grew up under communist tyranny in Ethiopia. Trang was born in a Vietnamese forced labor camp, and fled the country with her father and sister to end up on welfare in Boston. Despite their similarities, the two were never friends; Trang was friendly and outgoing, while Sinedu, awkward and shy, had trouble adjusting to a culture vastly different from her own.

An elusive madman calling himself Jack the Ripper was brutally butchering women in the slums of London’s East End.  Police seemed powerless to stop the killer, who delighted in taunting them and whose crimes were clearly escalating in violence from victim to victim.  And then the Ripper’s violent spree seemingly ended as abruptly as it had begun.  He had struck out of nowhere and then vanished from the scene.  Decades passed, then fifty years, then a hundred, and the Ripper’s bloody sexual crimes became anemic and impotent fodder for puzzles, mystery weekends, crime conventions, and so-called “Ripper Walks” that end with pints of ale in the pubs of Whitechapel.  But to number-one \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling novelist Patricia Cornwell, the Ripper murders are not cute little mysteries to be transformed into parlor games or movies but rather a series of terrible crimes that no one should get away with, even after death.

Drawing on unparalleled access to original Ripper evidence, documents, and records, as well as archival, academic, and law-enforcement resources, FBI profilers, and top forensic scientists, Cornwell reveals that Jack the Ripper was none other than a respected painter of his day, an artist now collected by some of the world’s finest museums: Walter Richard Sickert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has been said of Cornwell that no one depicts the human capability for evil better than she.

She exposes Sickert as the author of the infamous Ripper letters that were written to the Metropolitan Police and the press.  Her detailed analysis of his paintings shows that his art continually depicted his horrific mutilation of his victims, and her examination of this man’s birth defects, the consequent genital surgical interventions, and their effects on his upbringing present a casebook example of how a psychopathic killer is created.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew information and startling revelations detailed in \u003ci\u003ePortrait of a Killer\u003c\/i\u003e include:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- How a year-long battery of more than 100 DNA tests—on samples drawn by Cornwell’s forensics team in September 2001 from original Ripper letters and Sickert documents—yielded the first shadows of the 75- to 114 year-old genetic evid...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiographies \u0026amp; Memoirs\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue Crime\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eSerial Killers\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Berkley","offers":[{"title":"Used - Poor","offer_id":46773009219774,"sku":"0425192733-6","price":13.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71ZlKKZ23mL.jpg?v=1778167092"},{"product_id":"1551537877-the_mad_trapper_the_incredible_tale_of_a_famous_canadian_manhunt_amzing_stories","title":"The Mad Trapper: The Incredible Tale of a Famous Canadian Manhunt (Amzing Stories)","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eRecounts The Story Of Canada's Largest Manhunt When Hundreds Of Men Spent 7 Weeks Tracking Albert Johnson Across The Frozen North.

Childhood friends, cellmates, and even some members of the Manson family have provided new information about Manson’s life.
