Filled with contemporary and classic case studies, this fascinating overview of both serial and mass murder illustrates the many violent expressions of power, revenge, terror, greed, and loyalty.

This fully updated Third Edition of Extreme Killing helps readers understand the commonalities and variations among multiple murders, addresses the characteristics of both killers and their victims, and, in the concluding chapter, discusses the special concerns of multiple murder victims and their survivors.

Decent textbook
Published by Lexi , 3 years ago
Good book for a wide set of information for different kinds of murder, but a little opinionated on many things and disregarding of information the authors don’t agree with, though they tend to state what they disagree with.
