Description
Serial killers have captivated the public imagination for decades. Their gruesome crimes and charismatic personalities have transformed them into ghoulish celebrities in the news and entertainment media. But what drives our fascination with these human predators? Criminology professor Dr. Scott Bonn explores this phenomenon in "Why We Love Serial Killers", examining the psychological, social, and cultural factors that contribute to our morbid interest. Bonn delves into the world of serial killers, including those he has corresponded with, such as David Berkowitz ("Son of Sam") and Dennis Rader ("Bind, Torture, Kill"). He also discusses criminal profiling techniques used by law enforcement professionals and the behaviors that manifest themselves in serial killers. By examining how the media, law enforcement agencies, and public perception shape our understanding of these individuals, Bonn sheds new light on this complex topic. This book provides a thought-provoking look at the intersection of psychology, sociology, and popular culture, offering insights into why we are drawn to the darker aspects of human nature.
