True Crime Psychology

Die Gefängnispsychologin, Fachfrau für besondere Vorlieben (Paraphilien) und erfahrene Ansprechpartnerin für Kriminalermittler nimmt uns mit auf einen Streifzug der Delikte, die uns alle in unserer Gegenwart so beschäftigen: U-Bahn-Schläger, rohe Gewalt, Amokläufer, Tierquälerei, Sadismus, Kannibalismus, Kindesmissbrauch und brutale Misshandlung. Was geht in so einem Täter nur vor? Und wie nah dran sind diese schrecklichen Taten an den ganz normalen Fantasien, die jeder von uns schon einmal hatte?

The fair sex. We've often heard this cliched expression being used to refer to women. Although it has become increasingly outdated, the mindset still exists that women are the gentle and nurturing sex. When it comes to murder, that notion gets turned on its head. And this isn't a recent phenomenon; we can find plenty of female killers going back in history. In fact, some of the world's most notorious serial killers have been women. These female killers give their male counterparts a run for their money and deserve to be counted among the most famous serial killers.

Eliot Ness presents the first complete picture of the real Eliot Ness.

Doch diese Attribute führen dazu, dass die Gefährlichkeit von Frauen unterschätzt wird.

Chilling. One of the best words to describe the cases recounted in this book set. These gruesome crimes seemed to hit a dead end...that is until the cases were reopened for investigation later and then solved thanks to modern technologies and investigation techniques. From the more famous cases to the more obscure, the crimes and hardships that the victims had to suffer will send shivers down your spine. Notably detailing the disappearance of Chandra Levy as well as the multiple murders committed by Dennis Rader.

Manchmal "überfällt" es jede*n von uns: das Böse. Warum habe ich böse Gedanken? Neige ich zur Gewalt? Wie gehe ich mit ihnen um, aus psychologischer, aber auch spiritueller (in weitester Sicht) Perspektive? Die Forensische Psychiatrie hat verschiedene Erklärungsansätze für böses Handeln. Warum der Mensch aber überhaupt zum Bösen befähigt ist, bedarf einer Vernetzung mit Antworten der Entwicklungspsychologie, der Hirnforschung, Epigenetik, bei der auch der spirituelle Blick auf das Menschsein nicht fehlen sollte.
