Inside the Minds of Serial Killers: Why They Kill (2006)


Ko je navučen na TruTV Crime Library, sigurno je zapamtio ime Katherine Ramsland, autorke gomile odličnih tekstova na ovom jedinstvenom sajtu, a ja sam je posebno upamtio po napisu o najfascinantnijem serijskom ubici, Edmundu Kemperu, a pisala je i o Koreshu, Issei Sagawi, i mnogim drugima. Pošto mi se jako svidelo kako ona piše, uspeo sam da iskopam i jednu njenu real-deal knjigu, te je evo. Znam da sam postavio već masu PDF-ova, tako da to možda nekoga i zbuni, iz fazona šta pročitati kada su sve knjige na istu ili sličnu temu, tako da ću izdvojiti Harolda Schechtera i Katherine Ramsland kao najjače pisce kada je true crime podžanr u pitanju. Dakle, nikako nećete pogrešiti ako od svih e-knjiga koje sam nabacio na temu serijskih ubica pročitate samo ovu, ili eventualno The Serial Killer Files Harolda Schechtera. Naravno, za fanatičniju raju tu je i Natural Born Celebrities: Serial Killers in American Culture, jer ipak je taj deo priče najbizarniji pa samim tim i najzanimljiviji.

"Noting that generalizations often fail and debunking the idea that serial killers have a distinct profile, Ramsland details the wide variety of motives behind serial murder. She notes that the study's purpose is not to categorize them, but explore their motives, such as lust, omnipotence, glory, delusions, rage, profit, or no purpose at all. She also provides a history of the topic in the first chapter. In the area of psychological research on serial killers, Dr. Katherine Ramsland has distinguished herself as a unique thinker with a fascinating approach to case analysis. Anyone who takes this subject seriously should read this book."
