Todesursache - dem Leben auf der Spur.

Hvilke tanker gør et menneske sig, når det pludselig bliver berøvet sin frihed og spærret inde i en lille fængselscelle med tremmer for vinduet og uden håndtag på den indvendige side af døren? En lille del af svaret får man efter min opfattelse i efterfølgende brev, som en hollænder efter at have siddet varetægtsfængslet i en lille uges tid skrev til nogle af sine venner i Holland.

As a forensic psychiatrist, it's Dr Das' job to treat and rehabilitate what the tabloids might call the 'criminally insane', many of whom assault, rob, rape and even kill. His work takes him to high-security prisons and securely locked hospital wards across the country, as well as inside courtrooms, giving evidence as an expert witness.

In this gripping – and sometimes terrifying – account, former South African Police Service (SAPS) head profiler Dr Gérard Labuschagne, successor to the legendary Micki Pistorius, recalls some of the 110 murder series and countless other bizarre crimes he analysed during his career. An expert on serial murder and rape cases, Labuschagne saw it all in his 14 and a half years in the SAPS.

Body cams and dashcams have fundamentally transformed law enforcement in recent years. These innovations can help prove someone committed a crime, or didn't. Real-life footage has cleared people initially accused of wrongdoing, and in certain instances even implicated officers. But that same type of footage can also be used to clear police falsely accused of misdeeds. From allegations of harassment or bias to false arrests or even criminal conduct, these videos can prove officers did not cross a line as, sometimes, they are alleged to have done.

From true crime legend Ann Rule comes this riveting story of a young woman whose life ended too soon—and a determined mother’s eleven-year crusade to clear her daughter’s name. It was nine days before Christmas 1998, and thirty-two-year-old Ronda Reynolds was getting ready to travel from...

Retsmedicin er kendt fra både bøger og film - og ikke overraskende er det ofte et forvrænget billede, der viderebringes. I "En retsmediciner fortæller" tager en af Danmarks førende eksperter, Jørgen Lange Thomsen, læseren om bag facaden. Bogen giver et både barskt og realistisk billede af retsmedicinerens hverdag. En hverdag fyldt med død, tortur og ødlæggelse.

Dorothy Davis and Kerry Whelan were both happy, healthy, affluent, middle-class women from conservative, loving families. Such women are hardly ever among the ranks of the missing. They were not hitchhikers, or associates of drug dealers, or unhappy with their family relationships, or suffering from mental health issues. Dorothy Davis and Kerry Whelan came from different parts of Sydney, mixed in quite different circles, and led completely different lives.

In 1908, Hazel Drew was found floating in a pond in Sand Lake, New York, beaten to death. The unsolved murder inspired rumors, speculation, ghost stories, and, almost a century later, the phenomenon of Twin Peaks. Who killed Hazel Drew? Like Laura Palmer, she was a paradox of personalities - a young, beautiful puzzle with secrets. Perhaps the even trickier question is, Who was Hazel Drew? The investigation that followed her brutal murder was fraught with red herrings, wild-goose chases, and unreliable witnesses.

Некоторые мистификации и фальсификации настолько отчетливо демонстрируют обществу низость их создателей, что становится грустно и страшно за людей и их будущее. Не надо быть гением, чтобы украсть чужое произведение, уничтожить множество жизней или привести мир к катастрофе.

Преступления существуют ровно столько, сколько существует этот мир, и мы помним первое из них - библейское братоубийство. Борьба за первенство, власть и материальные блага - вот главные мотивы преступных деяний. Но любое действие должно иметь противодействие.

Конец XX века закономерно вызвал то, чего не было раньше - массовые преступления. Во всех странах и на всех континентах нашлось место для истериков и сектантов, провозглашавших новый миропорядок и новую веру.

Преступность до конца неискоренима, и утопично думать, что однажды все люди исправятся и станут жить по совести. Люди зачастую порочны, подвержены дурному влиянию, жадны и нетерпимы. А иного человека, желавшего честной жизни, само общество толкает на путь преступления.

Криминалистика, как одна из важнейших наук нуждается в постоянной реформации и обновлении. Блестящая конкуренция лучших ученых XIX и XX веков, помощь сыщикам в расследовании, привели к появлению сложных и полезных приборов и методов, способных улучшить доказательную базу следствия.
