Great book

My teacher had us use this book for my class Murder in America. I really don't like to read, especially textbooks, but I had no problem reading this. It is a great book. I usually sell all my textbooks after class to get money for new textbooks but I kept this for my personal library (of what little there is). I is good reading. Eric Hickey has been on many documentaries about his work and is a professor at CSU Fresno. He also is the director of the largest forensics studies program in United States. He definitely knows his stuff and loves it. I actually wrote him an email to tell him how much I loved this book and he wrote me back in less than 24 hours. He is very nice too. He said that he loves what he does. I think he is a great author and I want to buy more of his books.

I bought this book for a class, but i couldnt stop reading it, its very interesting and explains the sociological theories in an overview but just enough to get the point.

Very Informative

I am not a student but I find all forensic sciences fascinating. This book has many case studies that include both male and female serial killers. Most interesting and disturbing are the interviews with the killers. While most blame everyone else for what they did, they still provide insight into who they really are and what drives them. I believe this book is an excellent source of information for students and non-students alike.

Just a thought.

I am a Criminal Justice student, and a retired, Teaxs Death Row Correctional Officer. I worked on TX Death Row, when Herny Lee Lucas, was a resident there. (I am being faceticous)

I agree with the statememt, on page 205. One investigator was quoted as saying "This man will confess to anything you want" He is believed to have confessed to many the murders because of the publicity he received.

Some of the CO's and I...would often hear, Herny Lee Lucas mock, the police...let's leave at that.

I enjoyed reading the book, of the other cases, and found them to be interesting and educationally.

There need's to be more insight, into the minds, of these offenders, their social environment, education.
