SEXUAL PREDATORS: SERIAL KILLERS IN THE AGE OF NEUROSCIENCE

by Don E. Jacobs

Jacobs (behavior science, Weatherford College) prefaces his unusual textbook with a description of the netherworld created by antisocial parenting and ends it with a list of five parental nurturing skills. The chapters in between, which all include "predator profiles" of famous killers, provide a greater mix of nature and nurture arguments for social pathology. The text includes a glossary and lists of serial homicide websites and suggested readings but lacks an index. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
