Synopsis
Based on the authors′ own research and personal interviews with convicted serial killers, Serial Murder is the first book to consider the social context and characteristics of serial murder. The authors ask why it occurs, how the murderers choose their victims and assess the impact on the families and associates of victims, as well as community response to serial murder.
