{"product_id":"the-psychopathology-of-serial-murder-stephen-giannangelo-9780275954345","title":"The Psychopathology of Serial Murder: A Theory of Violence","description":"In this book, criminologist Stephen Giannangelo offers an original theory of the origins and development of the serial murderer. The author constructs a two-part model of the serial murderer's development. The first part outlines biological factors and concomitant psychological anomalies that can predispose individuals toward homicidal behavior. Then, in developing the second part of his model, Giannangelo describes how a traumatic environmental stressor may trigger a cyclical pattern of violent behavior in those persons predisposed to kill. Having constructed his archetype of the serial killer, the author concludes by suggesting how diagnostic tools could be constructed and employed by psychologists, criminologists, and law enforcement officials to recognize the serial killer and to arrest the cycle of violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Giannangelo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 027595434X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275954345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.59h x 5.79w x 0.57d","brand":"Stephen Giannangelo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001114870015,"sku":"9780275954345","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d3a13c4-4939-43d0-8b6d-823428134d65.jpg?v=1751600107","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-psychopathology-of-serial-murder-stephen-giannangelo-9780275954345","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
