Summary: An Awesome Account of Macabre Crimes with Solecism

Comment: Stephen Michaud give capacious coverage of "The Evil That Men Do" by depicting authentic sexual crimes ranging from serial killings to autoerotic death in details as seen through the disciplined ingenuous mind of co-author Roy Hazelwood, veteran FBI agent who specialized in the behavioral study of sexual deviants. Hazelwood, former member of the elite Behavioral Science Unit at Quantico, VA, is an acknowledged authority on the fantasies and modus operandi of sexual criminals. The chapters on autoerotic death and pseudovictimization are especially informative.

This book is a useful complement to any criminal behavioral profiling library. Unfortunately, proof reading by the publishers should have been taken much more seriously, and this failure detracts from its use as a scholarly reference source. Solecism is overly conspicuous and disturbing throughout the text and magnifies many passages suffering from sundry abuses of language. The authors' occasional attempts to infuse some humorous remarks, most of which fell short of their mark, would be better omitted.

Hopefully, reprinting of this book will mandate a close scrutiny of grammer. Substitution of such words as "the" and "to", etc. indicates spell checkers are not a substitute for tedious textual proofing: - On rereading this book I downgraded it from a 4 to a 3 based on grammatical error, not lack of useful material.

Summary: A Law Enforcement Must Read

Comment: Roy Hazelwood is clearly tops in the field of Sexual Criminal Profiling. There is a wealth of knowledge that can be gleened from this mans vast experiences. The book is broken up into a number of fasinating chapters each of which hold the readers attention from start to finish. He has managed to reveal enough about the skill used to profile the Sexual Predator with out making this a "how to" book on how to avoid detection. Hazelwood appears to be a far more humble man than his former partner John Douglas. (Mind Hunter). As a Law enforcement officer you can't help but appreciate the pace and detail of this book. Everything form DAHMER to ZODIAC KILLERS is touched on. A talent like Roy Hazelwood comes along once in a blue moon. Don't miss out. Your Library isn't complete without This Book !

Summary: Less Than Stellar

Comment: Reads like hearsay testimony which would have been more compelling hearing it directly from Roy Hazelwood. If you have heard Roy speak in person as I have, this is a re-hash at best. Buy it used or better yet, borrow it.
