DK Children

This is a remarkable, revelatory exploration of the world's most extreme cases of mass murder by two of the UK's most respected true-crime experts. From it, a significantly consistent pattern emerges of the person who commits multicide: almost always male, a loner lacking in social skills, not able to form stable relationships. Bearing a general grudge against society or blaming a particular individual, he determines to seek a fanatical revenge. Over 200 notorious cases include: Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, two heavily armed students who opened fire at Columbine High School, Colorado, killing 13; Michael Ryan, perpetrator of the notorious 'Hungerford Massacre', in which 16 people were shot dead, including his own mother Brenda Spencer; a rare instance of a female mass murderer, who opened fire at a junior school, killing 11, 'Because', she said, 'I don't like Mondays'; Jeremy Bamber, the country boy found guilty of killing five members of his family; Julio Gonzalez, who, after a row with his girlfriend, set fire to the Happy Land social club, killing 87 people; The Supreme Truth Cult, who released nerve gas in subway trains in Tokyo, killing 12 people; and, Timothy McVeigh, responsible for the deaths of 168 people in the Oklahoma bombing.

New advances in technology combined with soaring crime rates have made forensic science an increasingly important factor in crime detection. In this comprehensive study, Brian Lane looks at the different techniques of forensic science and demonstrates how they are used by means of real-life case studies.Most books on forensic science tend to fall into two main categories: either they are textbooks for the scientifically educated and trained, or they are popular compilations for anecdotes and stories, seasoned with scientific information from the textbooks. This encyclopedia offers something different. It demystifies some of the minor miracles that are occurring in scientific detection today and places them in an historical context. Drawn from many sources and the expert knowledge of numerous consultants, the book provides a wealth of information on subjects from Acid to Voiceprints.Brian Lane was an expert in the field of true crime. He came to writing via fine art, theater and experimental music and also spent a number of years with the United Nations in Geneva and Vienna. He founded The Murder Club in 1987 and compiled the formidable six-volume series of Murder Club Guides to Great Britain.
