That would probably be true of Leonard Lake that had this torture place he built in a remote area of California. And another motive For example, when I interviewed Tommy Lynn Sells on death row in Texas, he had been neglected, abused, neglected again by his mother, never knew his father; terrible, terrible childhood. And he went around killing about 70 people, most of them women. Did you ever have a thought about, you know, killing your mom? You only got one mom.
So that was a very important point that I see over and over in these men. Sentence: Hanged in July Sentence: Both received life in prison. Sentence: 25 years to life for each murder, served consecutively.

The author states that she wants the reader to be offended. In my opinion, at times it felt like the book concentrated too hard on trying to offend and left a lot to be desired in other areas. The tone is in part "humorous" and the author explains it is because people in her field use black humour to cope.
I am all for black humour, but this book just is not funny at all and the attempts at humour simply end up being sad. In addition, I thought people who have only killed one person couldn't be serial killers because of the definition of the word "serial", but what the heck, the author disagrees. People who have killed once might kill again given the chance. I assume one cannot be convicted of being a potential serial killer though.
In many places the text also stinks of victim balming. In the end there is a section where the author discusses the ways in which working as a profiler can affect the lives of children when their parents discuss serial killers at the dinner table and keep crime scene pictures in their drawers. And watch more violent porn than the local pervert. Well I hope to god that most parents are wise enough to keep that stuff away from their children as long as they are young enough to be called children.
I sure did not, do not and do not even want to know what kind of porn and how much of it my parents watch.
Did this book manage to offend me? Most certainly! Mostly by being badly written and waste of my time. It might offer some mild entertainment to someone without any previous knowledge on the subject.
Apr 08, Mark O'Brien marked it as to-read. This is the kind of book that can only do more harm than good. I suppose there is no law dictating that a serious topic is deserving of a serious tone.
But in adopting a tone of flippancy, Brown is in danger of demeaning the very people she claims to be writing for: the families of victims. Brown claims that it is her purpose to answer questions about serial killers with "no fluff, no psychobabble, and no ego trips.
Alarm bells began to ring at the title: Killing f This is the kind of book that can only do more harm than good. Alarm bells began to ring at the title: Killing for Sport. Okay, she claims that the "book is written as much as possible from the point of view of the predator. All sport is competition with a knowing opponent. One might get a kick out of the competition itself, or the victory. An observer might find the whole spectacle entertaining.
But it is rather dubious to think the sportsman is entertained during competition. Nor can we think of the victim as the opponent, as they are an unwitting and unwilling participant. The best analogy for serial killing must be hunting, where the object of the hunt is a hapless victim. There just is no evidence to suggest that serial killers are simply having a jolly jape of a time.
The psychotics are too out of touch with reality to be aware of what they're doing or why they're doing it; the psychopaths are very much aware of what they're doing and the feeling of power they gain from doing it. In all its many forms, entertainment is usually a form of relaxation or escape from the daily grind. Serial killing, as an activity, is neither; nor is it seen as such by either type of killer.
Take, for example, just one of the quotes from serial killers with which Brown decorates her pages: "I don't believe in man, God, nor Devil. I hate the whole damned human race, including myself I preyed upon the weak, the harmless and the unsuspecting. This lesson I was taught by others: Might makes right. Yet Brown reckons that "these guys all seem to follow a happy little path of destruction; and their crimes reflect it.
An essential aspect of sport is that one's opponent at least has a 'sporting chance' of avoiding defeat. Yet Panzram admits he chose victims precisely lacking such an opportunity. Also, notice he didn't simply choose, but "preyed upon" his victims - a term more pertinent to the hunt than any sporting activity. View 1 comment. Shocking, compelling and at times deeply disturbing "Killing for Sport" is an eye opening view into the minds of serial killers.
Her book gives the reader a interesting look into the life of a profiler and the world of the serial killer. Throughout her book Ms. Brown makes use of actual quotes from well known serial killers, which adds to the jaw Shocking, compelling and at times deeply disturbing "Killing for Sport" is an eye opening view into the minds of serial killers. Brown makes use of actual quotes from well known serial killers, which adds to the jaw dropping reality of how incurably sick and dangerous such individuals are.
Brown offers pro-bono criminal profiling and training for law enforcement. She also provides profiling consultation to attorneys, families, and producers through The Pat Brown Criminal Profiling Agency. She is the founder and director of The Society for Investigative Criminal Profiling, an organization working to promote criminal profiling as a major tool in police investigations.
Brown has provided crime commentary, profiling and forensic analysis in over one thousand television and radio appearances in the United States and globally. My Personal Opinion: Ms. Brown's "no non-since" approach to explaining the mind of the serial killer is both refreshing and astounding. Where other authors beat about the brush, leaving the reader wondering what the author really implied, Ms. Brown boldly reaches out to the reader in plain English.
Brown is very point blank in her presentation, while adding a refreshing touch of humor. This book is a great read for all who wonder how serial killers think. I recommend this book, but due to the nature of this topic reader discretion is advised. Jun 07, Beth rated it did not like it. It is a muddy mess of very limited depth and seems to sum up or dismiss every point with flippant lightheartedness. The author clearly has some problem with profiling, seeming to describe every profiling success that has ever been made as luck or chance.
Straightforward manner, but embark upon a lengthy diatribe about why she thinks any and all psychics are fake. This is a vanity novel with absolutely no merit or redeeming features, that seems to exist solely to allow the author rants like this.
The book is framed in questions not actually asked by anybody, but she obviously needed a device, I suspect writing a fully formed book on this subject would be far too taxing , and is littered with irrelevant quotes from serial killers. It's an odd way to present this information and it would take a far better author than Pat Brown to successfully pull it off.
The writing style is patronising and the information given is extremely limited; if you have ever red any true crime whatsoever, you will already know everything that is in this book - this leads to the feeling that you are being talked down to at all times.
