Sexual Murder: Catathymic and Compulsive Homicides
By Louis B. Schlesinger

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  CRC
Number Of Pages:  416
Publication Date:  2003-08-26
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0849311306
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780849311307
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:

Forensic psychologist and author Louis B. Schlesinger delves deep into the minds of sexual murderers. It is a place where few dare to tread, but a necessary journey if we are to understand the motivations behind their inconceivable actions. Culminating nearly 30 years of experience analyzing sexually motivated homicides, Sexual Murder: Catathymic and Compulsive Homicides makes this complex phenomenon fully comprehensible. The author provides a strong foundation by first exploring the psychopathology of sexual homicide within the context of nonsexual homicide. He also discusses forensic assessment of the sexual murderer, theories of crime, and systems of homicide classification. The remaining chapters explore the two types of sexual murders: catathymic, caused by a breakthrough of underlying sexual conflicts, and compulsive, in which a fusion of sex and aggression results in a powerful internal drive that pushes the offender to seek out victims to kill - and the killing itself is sexually gratifying. Presenting both forms of sexual murder from a clinical-descriptive perspective, the book provides historical background and examines both planned and unplanned homicides for each. Finally, it considers prediction, disposition, and possibilities for preventing sexual murder. Providing a fresh approach to an old crime, Sexual Murder: Catathymic and Compulsive Homicides brings intriguing theories and detailed analyses to life. Through a variety of illustrative case examples from the author's vast experience, this amazing book will broaden your view of sexual murder and alter many preconceived ideas.

The Eye of Everyman: Witnessing DNA in the Simpson Trial

The Eye of Everyman: Witnessing DNA in the Simpson Trial
Sheila Jasanoff
Social Studies of Science, Vol. 28, No. 5/6, Special Issue on Contested Identities: Science, Law and Forensic Practice (Oct. - Dec., 1998), pp. 713-740
This article consists of 28 page(s).
JSTOR

Abstract
Science was supposed to clinch OJ Simpson's guilt in the criminal trial that entranced both press and public in the United States for ten months in 1995. Prosecutors mistakenly expected the powerful technique of DNA fingerprinting, or 'DNA typing', to establish Simpson's presence at the crime scene and to confirm his subsequent flight to his own estate. By acquitting Simpson after less than four hours of deliberation, the jury sensationally rebuffed the prosecutors' expectations. Fifteen months later, it was the mundane evidence of bloody shoeprints, not scientific authority, that prompted a civil judgment against Simpson for the same killings. In exploring science's failure to persuade the first Simpson jury, this paper focuses on the trial as an arena in which visual authority had to be created and defended. Scientific evidence must be seen to be believed; yet, a trial is also a proceeding in which visual authority is deeply contested. The paper suggests that the judge's role in constructing authorized lines of sight has not received sufficient attention in legal analysis and procedural reform. In the Simpson trial, as in other cases involving expert witnesses, the judge's uncontested remarks and rulings established at many crucial points whose vision would be authorized as expert, and in what circumstances lay vision could take precedence over expert sight.

Dead Center: Behind the Scenes at the World's Largest Medical Examiner's Office
By Shiya Ribowsky, Tom Shachtman

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  William Morrow
Number Of Pages:  272
Publication Date:  2006-09-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0061116246
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780061116247
Binding:  Hardcover



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:


A city with eight million people has eight million ways to die

For fifteen years, Shiya Ribowsky worked as a medicolegal investigator in New York City’s medical examiner’s office—the largest, most sophisticated organization of its kind in the world. Utilizing his background in medicine, he led the investigations of more than eight thousand individual deaths, becoming a key figure in some of New York’s most bizarre death cases and eventually taking charge of the largest forensic investigation ever attempted: identifying the dead in the aftermath of the September 11 tragedies.

Now, in this mesmerizing book, Ribowsky pulls back the curtain on the New York City’s medical examiner’s office, giving an enthralling, never-before-seen glimpse into death and the city. Born and raised in New York City’s orthodox Jewish community, Ribowsky seems an unlikely candidate for this macabre profession. Nevertheless he has forsaken a promising career of medical work with the living, descending instead into the realm of the dead, enticed by the challenge of confronting death on a daily basis. Taking you through the vermin-infested Bowery flophouses and posh Upper East Side apartments of the city’s dead, Ribowsky explores in gruesome detail the skeletons that hang in the Big Apple’s closets. Combing through the autopsy room, he also exposes the grim secrets that only a scalpel and a dead body can tell and explains how forensic investigation does not merely solve crimes—it saves lives.

But it is in the aftermath of September 11 that the ME’s office is handed its biggest challenge: to identify as many of the fallen as possible. With poignant descriptions, Ribowsky provides a dramatic account of the office’s diligent and unflappable work with the families of the victims, helping them emerge from the ashes of this tragedy while displaying the strength, grit, intelligence, and compassion that Americans expect from true New Yorkers.

At once compelling and heartbreaking, Dead Center is a story of New York unlike any other, blending the haunting with the sublime, while painting a striking portrait of death (and life) in the city that never sleeps.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:

Combating Spyware in the Enterprise is the first book published on defending enterprise networks from increasingly sophisticated and malicious spyware. System administrators and security professionals responsible for administering and securing networks ranging in size from SOHO networks up the largest, enterprise networks will learn to use a combination of free and commercial anti-spyware software, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, intrusion prevention systems, and host integrity monitoring applications to prevent the installation of spyware, and to limit the damage caused by spyware that does in fact infiltrate their network. Combating Spyware in the Enterprise begins by examining the various types of insidious spyware and adware currently propagating across the internet and infiltrating enterprise networks. This section closely examines spyware's ongoing transformation from nuisance to malicious, sophisticated attack vector. Next, the book uncovers spyware's intricate economy and network of malicious hackers and criminals. Forensic investigations presented in this section of the book reveal how increasingly sophisticated spyware can compromise enterprise networks via trojans, keystroke loggers, system monitoring, distributed denial of service attacks, backdoors, viruses, and worms. After close examination of these attack vectors, the book begins to detail both manual and automated techniques for scanning your network for the presence of spyware, and customizing your IDS and IPS to detect spyware. From here, the book goes on to detail how to prevent spyware from being initially installed to mitigating the damage inflicted by spyware should your network become infected. Techniques discussed in this section include slowing the exposure rate; web filtering; using FireFox, MacOSX, or Linux; patching and updating, machine restrictions, shielding, deploying anti-spyware, and re-imaging. The book concludes with an analysis of the future of spyware and what the security community must accomplish to win the ware against spyware.

The Psychology of Lust Murder: Paraphilia, Sexual Killing, and Serial Homicide
By Catherine Purcell, Bruce A. Arrigo

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Academic Press
Number Of Pages:  192
Publication Date:  2006-04-24
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  012370510X
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780123705105
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:

The Psychology of Lust Murder systematically examines the phenomenon of paraphilia (i.e., aberrant sexuality) in relationship to the crime of lust murder. By synthesizing the relevant theories on sexual homicide and serial killing, the authors develop an original, timely, sensible model that accounts for the emergence and progression of paraphilias expressed through increasingly violent erotic fantasies. Over time, these disturbing paraphilic images that, among other things, involve rape, body mutilation and dismemberment, torture, post-mortem sexual intercourse, and cannibalism, are all actualized. Thus, it is the sustained presence of deviant sexuality that contributes to and serves as underlying motive for the phenomenon of lust murder (a.k.a. erotophonophilia). Going well beyond theoretical speculation, the authors (Dr. Catherine Purcell, a forensic psychologist and Dr. Bruce Arrigo, a criminologist) apply their integrated model to the gruesome and chilling case of Jeffrey Dahmer. They convincingly demonstrate where and how their conceptual framework provides a more complete explanation of lust homicide than any other model available in the field today. The book concludes with a number of practical suggestions linked to clinical prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies; police training, profiling, and apprehension efforts; as well as legal and public policy responses to sexually violent and predatory assailants. Comprehensive in its coverage, accessible in its prose, and thoughtful in its analysis, The Psychology of Lust Murder is a must read for any person interested in the crime of erotophonophilia and those offenders responsible for its serial commission.

* Contributes, in a thoughtful and scholarly way, to the audiences' existing library of books on crimes and criminals
* Provides new and insightful information on the criminal behavior of Jeffrey Dahmer
* Enables readers to compare and contrast different models/theories on sexual homicide and serial murder
* Assists researchers, educators, public officials, and the lay public determine how best to respond to the phenomenon of lust murder

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

Publication Date:  2003-04
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0393050939
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780393050936
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Book Description:

An oddly compelling, often hilarious forensic exploration of the strange lives of our bodies postmortem.

For two thousand years, cadavers—some willingly, some unwittingly—have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. They've tested France's first guillotines, ridden the NASA Space Shuttle, been crucified in a Parisian laboratory to test the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, and helped solve the mystery of TWA Flight 800. For every new surgical procedure, from heart transplants to gender reassignment surgery, cadavers have been there alongside surgeons, making history in their quiet way.

In this fascinating, ennobling account, Mary Roach visits the good deeds of cadavers over the centuries—from the anatomy labs and human-sourced pharmacies of medieval and nineteenth-century Europe to a human decay research facility in Tennessee, to a plastic surgery practice lab, to a Scandinavian funeral directors' conference on human composting. In her droll, inimitable voice, Roach tells the engrossing story of our bodies when we are no longer with them. 13 b/w illustrations.
