Serial Killers - Hunting Britons and their Victims 1960-2006
Professor David Wilson latest book published by Waterside.
Serial Killers looks at all serial murders in Britain from the 'gay murders' of Micheal Copeland in1960 to the Ipswich murders of 2006. Throughout the work follows events from a social and victim-related perspective. With vast experience of working with serial killers behind him and from his studies, criminologist and ex-prison governor David Wilson concludes that we are not all at-risk everyday from what he terms 'hunting Britons', rather it is people from a variety of vulnerable groups: the elderly, women involved in prostitution, gay men, runaways, 'throwaways' and children and kids moving from place to place.
