Сексуальные маньяки. Психологические портреты и мотивы

First published back in the late 1980s, this book anticipates the rapid development of profiling techniques. Specially trained FBI agents examined 36 convicted sex offenders in order to create profiles that reveal the world of a serial killer. The information was obtained from official psychiatric and criminal reports, court records, as well as from extensive conversations with the criminals themselves. Sexual crimes are one of the most terrible and, unfortunately, common types of crimes. Why do people do them? Does something unite sexual maniacs, and if so, what? What life events influence the fact that a person begins to demonstrate criminal behavior, and when does this process begin? A group of scientists and FBI workers led by John Douglas tried to answer all these and many other questions in this book. First published back in the late 80s of the last century, this work foresees the rapid development of profiling methods and the use of artificial intelligence to search for criminals. The theoretical conclusions of the researchers are supported by examples of real cases and interviews with 36 maniacs, criminologists, families of victims and those who managed to survive after an encounter with a criminal. From this book you will learn: • What types of criminals exist. • What causes a person to commit sexual murder. • How is the process of creating a psychological portrait of a criminal. • What role does the forensic examination play in the investigation. • How to behave when meeting with a rapist.
