A chilling study of murderers’ minds. The plea of insanity in criminal cases can be traced back at least to the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi, which dates from 1755-1759 BC. It is a complicated defence, & its origins in modern law lie with the 'M' Naghten Rules' of 1843, formulated by British judges as a jury instruction in cases where a plea of insanity had been entered. Daniel M' Naghten shot & killed one Edward Drummond, believing him to be the British Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, & was acquitted on the grounds of insanity, & the M' Naghten Rules still exert considerable influence over defences today. Clearly a plea of insanity in murder cases is of critical importance when the death penalty is still applied, & even today it may still be the difference between a life sentence in a high-security prison, or an indeterminate one in a secure psychiatric hospital. Meanwhile, 27 of the USA's 50 states have retained or readopted the death penalty, & at least 54 other countrie... ...

Product Description

Christopher Berry-Dee, criminologist & bestselling author of books about the serial killers Aileen Wuornos & Joanne Dennehy, turns his uncompromising gaze upon women who not only kill, but kill repeatedly.

Because female murderers, & especially serial murderers, are so rare compared with their male counterparts, this new study will surprise as well as shock, particularly in the cases of women like Beverley Allitt, who kill children, & Janie Lou Gibbs, who killed her three sons & a grandson, as well as her husb&.

Here too are women who kill under the influence of their male partners, such as Myra Hindley & Rosemary West, & whose lack of remorse for their actions is nothing short of chilling.

But the author also turns his forensic gaze on female killers who were themselves victims, like Aileen Wuornos, whose killing spree, for which she was executed, can be traced directly to her treatment at the hands of men.
