  • Books on Serial Killers
    _____________________________________________________________ Researching the Multiple Murderer: A Comprehensive Bibliography of Books on Specific Serial, Mass, and Spree Killers Michael G. Aamodt & Christina Moyse Radford University True crime books are a useful source for researching serial killers. Unfortunately, many of these books do not include the name of the killer in the title, making it difficult to find them in a literature search. To make researching serial killers easier, we have created a comprehensive bibliography of true crime books on specific multiple murderers. This was done by identifying the names of nearly 1,800 serial killers and running searches of their names through such sources as WorldCat, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and crimelibrary.com. This listing was originally published in 2004 in the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology and was last updated in August, 2012. An asterisk next to a killer’s name indicates that a timeline written by Radford University students is available on the Internet at http://maamodt.asp.radford.edu/Psyc%20405/serial_killer_timelines.htm and an asterisk next to a book indicates that the book is available in the Radford University library. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Adams, John Bodkin Devlin, Patrick (1985).

  • On Metaphors, Mirrors, and Murders: Theodore Bundy and the Rule of Law*
    ON METAPHORS, MIRRORS, AND MURDERS: THEODORE BUNDY AND THE RULE OF LAW* MICHAEL MELLO** I. Introduction ................................................... 888 H1. Bundy's Interaction With the Capital Punishment Bureaucracy: Where Did the Time Go? ...................................... 894 Ill. The Mirror, the (Mixed) Metaphor: Bundy as Cultural Construction, Bundy as the "Crystallization of Culture" ......... 918 IV. Conclusion: Bundy as Other, Bundy as Us ...................... 936 © 1991 Michael Mello. ** Professor of Law, Vermont Law SchooL B.A., 1979, Mary Washington College; J.D., 1982, University of Virginia. In the interest of full disclosure, I note that from 1983 to 1986 I worked as an assistant public defender in Florida (first at the office of the state Public Defender in West Palm Beach and later at the office of the Capital Collateral Representative in Tallahas- see). All of my clients were death row inmates. During 1987 and 1988 1 was an associate with the law firm of Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering, the firm that represented Theodore Bundy in past- conviction litigation. I presently represent three condemned inmates. This article is dedicated to the memory of the late Judge Robert S. Vance, United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, for whom I clerked (1982-1983). Although we often disagreed about the appropriate role of the federal judiciary in reviewing state-imposed death sentences, Judge Vance always remained a mentor, teacher, and friend. This, like most scholarly projects, has been a collaborative enterprise. The many students, friends, neighbors, and colleagues who have discussed its ideas with me, suggested articles and other resources, commented on earlier versions, shared personal experiences, or allowed me to glimpse their own fears and angers have collaborated with me on this project and have made its development possible, whether they knew it or not.

    Reforming Mental Health Law to Protect Public Safety and Help the Severely Mentally Ill By David B. Kopel1 & Clayton Cramer2 This is symposium named for the great civil rights attorney Wiley A. Branton3 challenges us to search for means to reduce gun violence, while respecting civil rights, including the Second Amendment. One such means is to provide much more help to people who suffer from severe mental illness. The biggest violence-reductive effect would be in diminishing the number of crimes against the mentally ill, who are disproportionately victimized. Only a small minority of seriously mentally people commit violent crimes; but people with serious mentally illness people are significantly more likely to 1 David B.
