True Criminal

James 'Jimmy Two Guns' McIntyre was Glasgow's go-to gangland lawyer and consigliere to one of Scotland's foremost crime families. His maverick approach to the law and a client list that included some of the most feared gangland figures of the time - including the McGoverns and Paul Ferris - ensured that he was always in demand but under the constant scrutiny of the authorities.

Nelle prime ore di un mattino di marzo 2015, la polizia danese riceve una chiamata inquietante: un'infermiera di un ospedale della Danimarca meridionale sospetta che una sua collega uccida deliberatamente i propri pazienti e teme che l'abbia appena fatto di nuovo.

True Crime Stories von Joe Bausch, dem Experten für Verbrechen und das Böse. "Von unvorstellbarem Ausmaß", so werden Gewaltakte mit tödlichem Ausgang in der Öffentlichkeit häufig genannt. Nur wenige Menschen kennen persönlich so viele Schwerverbrecher wie der langjährige Gefängnisarzt und True-Crime-Spezialist Joe Bausch. In seinem neuen Buch geht er der Frage nach, wie Gewalttaten entstehen. Er erzählt den Fall von der "Eislady", die sich von ihren dominanten Männern nur durch Mord zu befreien wusste. Oder vom dreifachen Familienvater, der auf Jersey elf Jahre lang ein Doppelleben als Sexualstraftäter führen konnte.

Manchmal "überfällt" es jede*n von uns: das Böse. Warum habe ich böse Gedanken? Neige ich zur Gewalt? Wie gehe ich mit ihnen um, aus psychologischer, aber auch spiritueller (in weitester Sicht) Perspektive? Die Forensische Psychiatrie hat verschiedene Erklärungsansätze für böses Handeln. Warum der Mensch aber überhaupt zum Bösen befähigt ist, bedarf einer Vernetzung mit Antworten der Entwicklungspsychologie, der Hirnforschung, Epigenetik, bei der auch der spirituelle Blick auf das Menschsein nicht fehlen sollte.

These seven murderers are perhaps the most sadistic serial killers to ever live.

One such letter in this book. Albert Fish may have been the sickest serial killer to ever live. He would keep his young victims alive for days and beat them constantly to tenderize their flesh for cooking.
