From Publishers Weekly:
Norris here interviews a number of killers and, citing studies suggesting that violence is a disease requiring medical intervention, "calls for further research into the biological, psychological and social influences on serial murderers. He argues that the legal definition of insanity is inaccurate and that sociopathic multiple killers should be medically diagnosed and treated," observed PW. Photos.
