Summary
This book offers a comprehensive overview of multiple homicide, including both serial and mass murders. This book reflects on a growing concern for specific types of multiple homicides (indiscriminate public massacres, terrorist attacks, hate crimes, and school shootings) as well as largely debated issues such as gun control and mental illness. The authors bring their years of research and experience to create distinctions between serial and mass murders, address characteristics of both killers and their victims, and recognize special concerns around multiple murder victims and their survivors.
