The New Evil also presents compelling evidence that, since a cultural tipping-point in the 1960s, certain types of violent crime have emerged that in earlier decades never or very rarely occurred. The authors examine the biological and psychiatric factors behind serial killing, serial rape, torture, mass and spree murders, and other severe forms of violence. They persuasively argue that, in at least some cases, a collapse of moral faculties contributes to the commission of such heinous crimes, such that \"evil\" should be considered not only a valid area of inquiry, but, in our current cultural climate, an imperative one. They consider the effects of new technologies and sociological, cultural, and historical factors since the 1960s that may have set the stage for \"the new evil.\" Further, they explain how personality, psychosis, and other qualities can meaningfully contribute to particular crimes, making for many different motives.Relying on their extensive clinical experience, and examination of writings and artwork by infamous serial killers, these experts offer many insights into the logic that drives horrible criminal behavior, and they discuss the hope that in the future such violence may be prevented.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael E.

Kimball was an FBI informant in the early 2000s, reporting on multiple murder-for-hire cases while secretly making people disappear. Working closely with the FBI's profiling unit, a local detective, and state and federal prosecutors, Agent Grusing was the primary FBI investigator assigned to determine what had happened to the missing people. This team faced near-impossible tasks to prove homicide cases against Kimball and to locate his hidden victims. The book delves into the principles Agent Grusing learned from the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit and how he applied those tactics as he interviewed and interacted with this highly intelligent, manipulative murderer. The story accounts for body recovery trips into the mountains of Colorado and outside of the state, includes extensive conversations with the victims' families, explores other unsolved murders possibly tied to Kimball, and assesses the complete devastation this wolf in sheep's clothing left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJonny Grusing, a retired FBI Special Agent, spent 23 of his 25 years in the Bureau working on significant violent crime cases in Colorado, many of which are featured on true crime documentaries.

Professor Costanzo uses diverse sources of information--including closing arguments from murder trials; interviews with jurors; statistical analyses of murder rates; survey data; and quotes from defendants, politicians, and the families of victims--to understand the effects and effectiveness of the death penalty. Each chapter answers an essential question: How do juries decide who is sentenced to death? Do executions deter potential murderers? Does the public support the death penalty? Is it \"cruel and unusual\"? Is it cheaper than life imprisonment? How serious are errors and biases in the system? Is the death penalty morally justified? Although the emphasis is on social scientific research, this comprehensive analysis also places the practice of killing murderers in historical, political, and moral context. The opening chapter chronicles the long, bloody history of executions and changes in how, when, and why we kill criminals. The closing chapter evaluates the politics and future of capital punishment, as well as alternatives to execution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Costanzo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.15w x 0.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197515556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMark Costanzo\u003c\/strong\u003e, Ph.D. is Professor of Psychological Science at Claremont McKenna College, Co-Director of the Center for Applied Psychological Research, and a member of the Plenary Faculty at Claremont Graduate University.
