Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

This brief but comprehensive book explores power and control as a central and unifying thesis for understanding why people kill. Each chapter explores different sub-types of homicide and the circumstances in which people kill each other. The authors concentrate on the extraordinary and seemingly inexplicable cases with the belief that the lessons learned from examining senseless and outrageous murders can be extrapolated to more ordinary homicides as well.
