Inside The Minds Of Mass Murderers: Why They Kill - Katherine Ramsland

"Ramsland provides fascinating, provocative insights into why some people kill, or attempt to kill, multiple victims at one time. This riveting work comprises tales of mass murders and murderers that include such famous cases as Richard Speck, the Texas clock tower massacre, the Manson murders, the Buddhist temple murders, the Columbine High School murders, and the post office murders. They read like a series of horror stories, but at the same time Ramsland demonstrates the nuances among the different types of mass murderers--victims of mental illness, children, family members, disgruntled employees, and those who murder for religious or political reasons. As Ramsland skillfully demonstrates, the psychological motivation behind these different types of mass murders varies….This is a vital resource for those interested in psychology, criminal justice, legal studies, or forensics. Essential. All collections; all levels."
