What drives people to commit crimes and what do they feel afterward, how do they evaluate their actions? Perhaps the best person to understand the psychology of killers is a prison psychologist: it is with them that convicts often share...
their secrets, telling things they have not mentioned in court or to their loved ones. Theodor Dalrymple worked for many years as a psychiatrist and prison doctor in London and Birmingham. During his career, he encountered many horrifying, amusing, and sad stories. He served as an expert in high-profile trials, treated murderers, robbers, and fraudsters, and interacted with their victims, prison guards, and lawyers.
By combining compassion and irony in his narrative, the author paints a psychological portrait of a killer, while also revealing the vices of modern society. Dalrymple's book offers a new perspective on today's justice system, on the relationship between law and society, on established stereotypes and fashionable social trends that sometimes hinder a clear assessment of criminals' motives and the fair dispensing of justice.
