"The book I read is called The Unknown Darkness: Profiling the Predators Among Us by Gregg O. McCrary. It is a true crime book. The main theme is crimes that happen in every day lives that you don't hear about and how you solve them by following an investigator through his job.
In the book there are a series of different stories that connect by one thing the investigator. Gregg O. McCrary investigates serial rapes, mass killings and hangings.Throughout the book he brings in these stories while investigating others. I cant write about all of them but I'll write about one in particular which is the Scarborough Rapist. It talks about how a series of women were picked up at bus stops and then raped in back allies and forced to say crude things to the perpetrator but when a 15 year old girl is kidnapped, videotaped while being tortured, and murdered McCrary comes in. Throughout this book he faces murderers and con- artists and criminals of every sort but he tries his best to do his job by trying to catch the criminals that do these crude acts to innocent citizens.
I thought this book was adventurous and shocking. McCrary takes the readers on a journey that forces you to think beyond the box. This book shows that criminals have to be put in their place when disturbing the norm. This point was proven throughout the book. The book was detailed and very specific. One of my favorite parts of the book was when he talked about how to ease someone into telling the truth without forcing them to or even with them noticing it. I think that it is actually quite creative that they could just talk about a persons feelings and then in minutes, hours, days, etc... a person can give themselves away just out of the spur of the moment.
If you liked this book you might like Every Breath You Take by Ann Rule because it has to do with the same things as The Unkown Darkness. I would recommend this book to teenagers and adults because this book is so dramatic and shocking you involve yourself in the book but you definitely cant read it to a younger age group because of content and language.
Overall this book is amazing and so mind boggling you start to feel like you are an investigatr too. The Unknown Darkness: Profiling Predators Among Us is a heart racing attention grabber. You will never want to put it to rest until the case is put to rest."
"This is fascinating. If you like the TV show Criminal Minds, you'll love this. It's written by a former FBI profiler and it gives whole new insight to the Waco (David Koresh), Sam Sheppard, Scarborough Rapist and other less well-known cases.
There are clearly criminal types who need to be identified early and never allowed to roam the free world. These are psychopaths, dangerous people who cannot be rehabilitated. Therapy often makes them more dangerous because they take what they learn to better manipulate their victims rather than apply it to themselves.
Further, this book talks about the inadequacy or wrong-headedness of some of our laws. In California, for example, you can hold a prisoner if they are treatable and need to continue treatment before being released. If they are not treatable, as psychopaths are not, they must be released at the end of their terms. Aaaagh! We've got to change our criminal justice system."
"Looks into habits of Psychos and how they can be caught. Dont read if you are squemish about descriptive murders and such....... however this book is highly intellectual"
