Evil Minds: Understanding and Responding to Violent Predators

For courses in deviance, violence and victimology.

This unique, engaging text uses a multi-disciplinary approach in an effort to understand the "evil minds" of criminals that engage in predatory violence. Evil Minds uses the study of the "monsters" among us-serial killers, mass murderers, child molesters and rapists-to introduce students to the theories, concepts and research from the fields of psychology, sociology, criminology & criminal justice that social scientists employ to understand and respond to violent criminals.
