Eric w. hickey serial murderers and their victims




















Shelves: own-ebook , school. This book was a requirement for one of my classes, but I found that it was quite interesting. While it can be disturbing to learn about the actions SK's take, the knowledge I gained was useful from an educational stance. I never appreciated how many typologies exist among serial murderers until I read this book. It also shocked me by putting to rest some of the myths surrounding serial killers!

For instance: Apparently the belief that there are very few female serial killers is inaccurate! The re This book was a requirement for one of my classes, but I found that it was quite interesting. The real truth is that female's are the "quiet killers", which means that their forms of killing are so subtle that they go unnoticed.

Many female serial killers will pray on their family members, the elderly, or those whose deaths do not raise questions! View 2 comments. Although this was a book for school, I thoroughly enjoyed the examination of serial murders and their victims.

Oct 11, Elizabeth rated it it was ok. This book is kind of boring and repetitive. I am a criminal justice major so this is the kind of stuff I love reading about but not the way Hickey writes about it. This is probably the only textbook I have ever read cover to cover. So intriguing! An interesting read on the profiling of serial murderers written by and, presumably for, criminologists.

I was hoping for more of a psychological insight into the mind of criminals, and the role of violent crime in society An interesting read on the profiling of serial murderers written by and, presumably for, criminologists. I was hoping for more of a psychological insight into the mind of criminals, and the role of violent crime in society - the book provides more of a statistical analysis of perpetrators and victims also interesting, but this information could have been condensed; there is quite a lot of redundancy throughout the book.

There are also moments in the book that seemed misleading or fear-mongery e. Very comprehensive and interesting enough, but still definitely a textbook written by an old white guy lol. It has a massive amount of information, but I often found myself going, "Please, I'm begging you, what's the point?? It was simply presented information. Which could have been really good, and was fairly unbiased, but the way it was presented made me really want to know more about what some of the results meant, and I was never given an explanation.

So ultimately Very comprehensive and interesting enough, but still definitely a textbook written by an old white guy lol. So ultimately I was left feeling disappointed. Plus some of the info seemed quite outdated by this point. Anyway, it was an okay read for a class I guess. View 1 comment. Mar 16, Rachel rated it really liked it Shelves: non-fiction. Very in-depth study of serial murder, mass murder, and related topics.

Really good, but a little grisly probably to be expected. Feb 25, Ashlon Pineiro rated it really liked it. Almost feel bad for alot of these people. You take the sickest, most depraved sexual criminal you can find, and trust me, there's a back story to why he is the way he is.

That's what this book is mostly about. How these guys and girls get to be the way they are. Classifications of psychopath. Case studies here and there for examples are obviously the juiciest part.

Otherwise, it's very clinical and for educational purposes only. But still very enjoyable. Dec 26, Dom rated it liked it Shelves: psych , medical , non-fiction. Assigned as a textbook for a serial killers university course. While the segments with stories of serial killers were fascinating, as this subject is, the writing and organization left me wanting. Very, very poorly organized, especially as a textbook. Also the book is sadly lacking in diverse language.

Would not recommend. Mar 25, Kin Sayed rated it really liked it Shelves: finish-mine. Jan 10, Kassidy Carter rated it it was amazing. Great book. I had to read it for a class but found it to be interesting It as one text book i read every chapter and read ahead of class. Jul 25, RJ rated it liked it Shelves: books-from-classes , public-health-related.

I mean, this is a textbook, but it's pretty interesting as textbooks go in the most morbidly fascinating way. I would've enjoyed it a lot more if I didn't have barrel through it for my class. Hickey had a habit of repeating a lot of the same information. Laura - winealittlereadalot rated it really liked it Jan 04, Dec 05, Abigail rated it it was amazing. Used this for my research paper.
