Understanding (serial) killers
What makes them tick? In this lecture I address questions such as what are the reasons that people become (serial) killers and how representative are they of social developments in the world? This is one of my areas of expertise. Lectures about serial killers, female serial killers, child serial killers and families
of serial killers.
