Opis

This book provides the first systematic overview of the theoretical, empirical, clinical, and police issues related to sexual murderers and murder. Bringing together leading researchers, theoreticians, and practitioners from across eight different countries, this is a truly international collaboration and an essential reference text for students, researchers and professionals interested in sexual homicide, as well as an exhaustive source of guidelines for the assessment and treatment of sexual murderers. Whereas many books on this topic focus on a single aspect of sexual homicide, this book offers a broad and comprehensive approach. It covers a range of theoretical models of the processes that propel a man to commit a sexual murder; a review of approaches to sexual sadism; clinical issues in the assessment and management of sexual murderers; policing issues including investigation and offender and geographical profiling; as well as new directions for research, theory and practice.
