A great overall covering of why we have a growing number of serial killers and how as a society we are focused on the punishment more than the why of these crimes. Takes to task the fact that by focusing on punishment we never learn what to look for in a person who may have these tendencies. They walk amoung us, looking and acting like normal humans, but have a dark, twisted side that should be explored to get to the root of the issue.
