Serial and Mass Murder: Theory, Research and Policy represents a unique volume. "The First International Conference on Serial and Mass Murder: Theory, Research and Policy" attracted the world's leading scholars in the field, many meeting each other for the first time. Their commitment was to furthering the level of theoretical and empirical understanding of these distinct forms of criminality. After a decade of significant research efforts, they felt that a turning point had been reached in the study of serial offenders, one that required more concentrated efforts at cooperative, multidisciplinary approaches to the study of multiple and mass murderers.
There has been an increasing need to find answers to many basic questions concerning the behaviour of the multiple murderer. This book serves as an infusion of knowledge based upon serious academic enquiry and as a balance to the more widely available popular literature.
