Synopsis:

Written in a compelling, narrative style, Serial Killers: Issues Explored Through the Green River Murdersis designed for an academic setting and explores the controversies that often permeate serial killer cases or massive murder investigations. Created by a New York Times best-selling author and educator, the book uses a collection of essays to examine the Green River Murders. The goal is to help readers move away from the quantitative and the sensational to reveal vital issues that surface during long running investigations such as maintaining justice, victims’ rights, interrogation techniques, media coverage of crime, and grief. Its content captures the personal perspectives of those involved and its interdisciplinary approach offers application to many courses throughout the social and behavioral sciences.

From the Back Cover: "Serial Killers" is intended to fill a void in the serial killer literature. Little has been written about the plethora of challenging issues that permeate the serial killer cases or massive murder investigations. This book provides a collection of essays that focus on some of those rich issues. Taken as a whole, the essays take the perspective of the Green River Murders and the turbulent relationship of the many people it touched over two decades. Although the essays revolve around the Green River Murders, the issues identified and explored in the essays are relevant to any in-depth discussion of such controversial topics as murder investigations, justice, victimology, interrogation techniques, media coverage of crime, and grief. "Serial Killers" is written in a style that would appeal to true crime readers.
