The main question that the forensic psychiatrist Richard Taylor has asked throughout his career could be phrased like this: why do people kill? In his book, he describes crimes motivated by sex and by a state of affect; financial motives; psychotic and mass killings; child murders and killings connected to terrorism. It’s an inside look at one of the rarest professions, as well as an attempt to unravel the motives of people who commit serious crimes. How is it decided what will happen to a person after an accusation? How does the forensic psychiatrist work with the offender, and what happens to those found not responsible? What can be done to prevent tragic events from repeating? You will learn how a psychiatric evaluation of an offender is carried out, as well as about the high-profile cases in which the author participated as a forensic psychiatrist.
