Serial Killers and the Aftermath

This is not a smiley-face book. Rather, it provides a gritty coverage of four serial killer cases, for which Dr. Rosemary J. Erickson was an expert witness. Dr. Erickson is a forensic sociologist and expert witness. The first part of her book provides a behind- the-scenes look of how she became a female expert witness on violent crime, and the later part covers the violent criminal cases and her involvement in the aftermath. The aftermath occurs, when the civil suit is filed. That is when Dr. Erickson goes to work to determine if the place where the crime occurred has liability. The book also reveals the dysfunctional childhoods of the serial killers and their psychopathy, which led them to their crimes-- characteristics so similar to the mass shooters of today.
