Description

This course will focus on the forensic examination and psychological profiling associated with group and individual serial killings within the US over the last century, and the responses by law enforcement agencies to bring them to justice. It will place an emphasis on the group murders committed by the Manson Family and Jamestown cults, as well as the method of operation attributed to famous lone serial killers, the selection of their victims, and the execution of their crimes.
