''My Life Among the Serial Killers: Inside the Minds of the World's Most Notorious Murderers'' is a book written by Helen Morrison, M.D and Harold Goldberg. It presents the cases of ten serial killers, and touches on many more. Morrison spent hundreds of hours in face-to-face interviews, over many years, with several of the subjects. She uses the individual stories to explain and put forth her ideas on what makes a serial killer. ==The cases== Morrison begins her story in the early '70s, when psychiatry and law enforcement had a very different view of these types of crimes. At that time, the term ''serial killer'' hadn't been coined. She was initially asked by the FBI to help with interrogating Richard Macek who was suspected of several murders, of which Macek claimed no memory. One of the murders had been attributed to Richard Milone, who spent many years wrongfully incarcerated. Morrison also recounts the difficulties professional women faced working with male-dominated law enforcement at that time. This began her thirty-year research on serial killers. The cases she reviews in detail are: *Richard Macek *Ed Gein *John Wayne Gacy *Peter Sutcliffe *Wayne Williams *Bobby Joe Long *Robert Berdella *Michael Lee Lockhart *Frederick West *Marcelo Costa de Andrade *Gary Leon Ridgway *Ben Legaspi Morrison uses the story of each serial killer to lay a basis for her theory of why they murder, making frequent comparisons and forays into unrelated cases to illustrate similarities between serial killers' personalities and their lack of motives. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Life Among the Serial Killers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
