520	0		_aAmerican Evil looks into the 'sordid' world of serial killers, their calculating methods and distorted thinking, based around the author's first-hand experience working with killers inside prisons. Dr Eric Cullen describes how he was 'so profoundly moved' by his inescapable conclusions about how serial killers are 'made' that he felt compelled to set out his findings. A critic of the serial killer growth industry, unhealthy interest and ill-informed comment he sets the record straight. Serial killers are made not born. But his more central polemic is that serial killers are one of several malign.
