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.

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

A natural subject for the UK's bestselling true-crime author: a study of people who randomly kill large numbers of others, or who set out to do so in specific places or situations!

Because of the ease of obtaining firearms in the USA, many of these, inevitably, are American, but there have been other recent examples in New Zealand & Norway, while three major mass shootings took place in the UK at Hungerford in 1987 (17 dead, including the killer), Dunblane in 1996 (18, including the killer), & in Cumbria in 2010 (13, including the killer).

As such killings become more frequent, it is easy to blame them on the ready availability of firearms & weak or non-existent background checks, even though many countries, including the UK, have extremely robust firearms legislation.

Christopher Berry-Dee offers case studies in some of the most infamous mass killings of the past fifty years, from school massacres to workplace killings, hate crimes to familicides.
