Acclaimed crime writer Carol Anne Davis explores the minds of sadistic killers: their childhoods, their growing pathology and horrific crimes. Knowing what some of these killers endured doesn?t even begin to excuse their crimes ? but it does explain them. Davis delineates the different subgroups of sadists ? for example, those who kill indiscriminately ? in Britain, the US and Australia. There are also chapters on: ? female sadists, who tend to be overlooked by the media. ? consensual sadomasochism ? including a rare interview with a well-known female practitioner, Lynn Paula Russell. ? input from a psychologist who has helped rehabilitate some of Britain?s most violent men. Sadistic Killers is a compelling look at the formative influences of a sadist and at his or her crimes. Unflinching in detail but never gratuitous, this is an informative read with a hopeful ending.
