Reviews"Of all the colleagues I've worked with, Ann is one of the sharpest--and one of the toughest. Ann's behind-the-scenes work had a profound impact on the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit, since she taught us how to harness the chaos of serial killers' minds and helped us decipher the undecipherable. I'd recommend that everyone read A Killer By Design; not only is it a great page-turner, but it's about time Ann's story was heard."-- JOHN E. DOUGLAS, former FBI criminal profiler and bestselling author of Mindhunter, "Forensic and psychiatric nurse Burgess debuts with an affecting memoir about her crucial if largely unknown role in helping the FBI develop criminal profiling tools."-- Publishers Weekly, "An empathetic, insightful behind-the-scenes look at criminal profiling... [which] offers a refreshing perspective."-- Library Journal, "In a revelatory book that is brimming with the fascinating coupled with the macabre, Burgess details the inner workings of the depraved mind. The killers profiled vary in scope, from kidnapping murderers in Nebraska to Denis Rader, the BTK killer, though all the crimes are horrific. A Killer by Design shows how the BSU's evolving work has forever changed the law enforcement landscape."-- Booklist

SynopsisWritten by the forensic nurse who transformed the way the FBI profiles and catches serial killers, this thought-provoking book takes an intimate look at the creation of the Behavioral Science Unit-the inspiration for Hulu's Mastermind documentary. In the 1970s, the FBI created the "Mindhunters" (better known as the Behavioral Science Unit) to track down the country's most dangerous criminals. In A Killer By Design , Dr. Ann Wolbert Burgess reveals how her pioneering research on sexual assault and trauma helped the FBI capture some of history's most violent offenders, including Ed Kemper (The Co-Ed Killer), Dennis Rader (BTK), Henry Wallace (The Taco Bell Strangler), and Jon Barry Simonis (The Ski-Mask Rapist). This book pulls us directly into the investigations as she experienced them, interweaving never-before-seen interview transcripts, crime scene drawings, and her personal insight about the minds of deranged criminals and the victims they left behind. Haunting and deeply human, A Killer By Design forces us to confront the age-old question that has long plagued our criminal justice system: "What drives someone to kill, and how can we stop them?"

TOO LITTLE INFO ON CRIMES
Too much info on what this woman had to overcome to install her system. Too little info on the criminals and their crimes and how they found them. It took 169 pages before details about cases were written about.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
