Obsession

In Obsession, John Douglas once again takes us fascinatingly behind the scenes, focusing his expertise on predatory crimes, primarily against women. With a deep sense of compassion for the victims and an uncanny understanding of the perpetrators, Douglas looks at the obsessions that lead to rape, stalking, and sexual murder through such cases as Ronnie Shelton, the serial rapist who terrorized Cleveland; and New York's notorious "Preppie Murder."
But Douglas also looks at obsession on the other side of the moral spectrum: his own career-long obsession with hunting these predators. Douglas shows us how we can all fight back and protect ourselves, our families, and loved ones against the scourge of the violent predators in our midst.
The first step is insight and understanding, and no one is better qualified to penetrate Obsession than John Douglas.

To be a great detective/profiler you must be able to not just look at the perp, not just look at what they've done but look through them, and see what makes them tick... Why did they do it? Were they abused as a child? Were they exposed to seeing violence happen? What about their parents, were they violent? You have to find out if they were made or if they were they just born bad.
I guess it s a different era but I wouldn't let my preteen child go off and meet a stranger claiming to be a photographer to get photos taken. That poor girl ended up sexually assaulted and murdered. It's absolutely awful. Make sure your children know about stranger danger
