Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The book examines the effectiveness and efficiency of the typologies of violent, sexualized homicide (lust murder.erotophonophilia) advocated by four contemporary researchers, specifically, Godwin, 2001; Holmes & Holmes, 2002; Keppel & Walter, 1999; Kocsis, Cooksey, & Irwin, 2002. The behavior and activities exhibited by offenders to distinguish violent, sexualized homicide from other types of serial murderers are presented through multiple case studies analysis of the offenders' psychosocial histories and offense patterns. The serial murderers examined include detailed accounts of those committed by Theodore Bundy, Jeffery Dahmer, and Dennis Rader. The results of the research indicate that when the stand-alone typologies of Godwin, 2001; Holmes & Holmes, 2002; Keppel & Walter, 1999; Kocsis, Cooksey, & Irwin, 2002 are used they may not be reliable or dependable tools in the development of a suspect offender profile. Moreover, within the case studies examined, the typologies created by those researchers were not fully capable of identifying characteristics of serial murderers. Therefore, the book presents a composite typology technique for a much more promising approach in determining a suspect pool from a broader range of psychosocial, offense activities, and particular characteristics of an offender to aid in an investigation.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The book argues that contemporary patterns neglect an important portion of serial killers in the U. S., specifically, African-American serial killers and the lack of recognition neglects to recognize the risks and harm done to their victims and potential victims, most of whom are African-American women and children. The flawed stereotypes surrounding our perceptions of serial killers are: (1) that the killing is almost always a White male, (2) that African-American men rarely, if ever, commit serial murder and (3) that those who commit serial murder are either psychologically complex or significantly intelligent to be able to escape capture/arrest. Those myths are biased and prejudicial to the victims. Victims of African-American serial killers, predominantly African-American women, and children, are further victimized when the violence against them is ignored or underreported. The media misrepresentations and ineffective investigations by law enforcement further deny them justice and further places them in harm's way. The lack of reporting, examination, and investigation of African-American serial killers is prejudicial to the victims and potential victims of violence and murder. This item is printed on demand.
