Traditionally, studies of homicide focus on male offenders and theories of offending are then applied to females and co-offenders. The research presented in this book reveals that women and partnered offenders have very different homicide patterns from men. Through her research, Dr. Gurian seeks to dispel myths and stereotypes about serial killers through the use of empirical research, and drawing on a sample of over 1600 offenders from 1900-2020.
