DEAD LINES Essays in Murder and Mayhem

Softcover. The authors, both criminologists, renowned for their work on serial killing and mass murder, expand their analytic eye to a wider range of atrocities and to their solutions. They address the problems of juvenile homicide, school shootings, rampages, hate homicides and serial murder. They focus on murder and popular culture, the criminal justice response, the death penalty and victim issues. Virtually all of the 52 pieces in this volume were originally written by one or both of the authors as opinion columns in newspapers published around America. In many of their essays, they suggest answers, in others, they ask questions and are critical of the answers proposed and implemented by policy makers. But in each and every piece, they apply criminal criminological thinking or research to address the problem of reducing murder and mayhem. 133pp. trade size softcover.
