When police in Rexburg, Idaho perform a wellness check on seven-year-old J.J. Vallow and his sister, sixteen-year-old Tylee Ryan, both children are nowhere to be found. Their mother, Lori Vallow, gives a phony explanation, and when officers return the following day with a search warrant, she, too, is gone. As the police begin to close in, a larger web of mystery, murder, fanaticism and deceit begins to unravel. Vallow’s case is sinuously complex. As investigators prod further, they find the accused Black Widow has an unusual number of bodies piling up around her.

Manchmal "überfällt" es jede*n von uns: das Böse. Warum habe ich böse Gedanken? Neige ich zur Gewalt? Wie gehe ich mit ihnen um, aus psychologischer, aber auch spiritueller (in weitester Sicht) Perspektive? Die Forensische Psychiatrie hat verschiedene Erklärungsansätze für böses Handeln. Warum der Mensch aber überhaupt zum Bösen befähigt ist, bedarf einer Vernetzung mit Antworten der Entwicklungspsychologie, der Hirnforschung, Epigenetik, bei der auch der spirituelle Blick auf das Menschsein nicht fehlen sollte.

In November 1987, a young couple on an overnight trip to Seattle vanished without a trace. A week later, the bodies of Tanya Van Cuylenborg and her boyfriend Jay Cook were found in rural Washington. It was a brutal crime, and it was the perfect crime: With few clues and no witnesses, an international manhunt turned up empty, and the sensational case that shocked the Pacific Northwest gradually slipped from the headlines.

In 1984, Jean Road, a 49-year-old mother of three, awakes at home in Bath, Somerset, and wonders where her 17-year-old daughter Melanie can be. Her bed hasn’t been slept in. Just then, Jean and her husband, Tony, hear someone shouting through a loudspeaker: ‘Does anyone know Melanie?’ Jean runs to the police car outside only to discover that her daughter has been murdered in a nearby street as she walked home from a club in the early hours. Britain’s biggest manhunt begins.

Meet Dr Ben Cave. For over thirty years he has worked in prisons and secure hospitals diagnosing and treating some of the most troubled men and women in society. A lifetime of care takes us from delusional disorders to schizophrenia, steroid abuse to drug dependency, personality disorders to paedophilia, and depression so severe a mother can kill her own baby. These are the human stories behind the headlines. The reality of a life spent working with patients with the severest mental health disorders. The tragic and often frightening truth about what happens behind closed doors.

Edward Rulloff was a brilliant yet utterly amoral murderer—some have called him a “Victorian-era Hannibal Lecter”—whose crimes spanned decades and whose victims were chosen out of revenge, out of envy, and sometimes out of necessity.

Two days after Christmas, 2011, Russel Faria returned to his Troy, Missouri, home to find his wife, Betsy, dead, a knife still lodged in her neck. She had been stabbed 55 times in a brutal murder that would set off a chain of events leading to one man's wrongful conviction and imprisonment, another man's death, the revelation of a diabolical scheme, and an astounding miscarriage of justice left unresolved for another 10 years.

To erfarne retsmedicinere tager os med på arbejde verden rundt i forbindelse med naturkatastrofer, krig, terror og tortur. Bogen er en ærlig, åbenhjertig og nogle gange rystende brevveksling gennem knap tre årtier. Hougen og Rogde bruger hinanden som både faglige sparringspartnere og som en trøstende skulder, når der er brug for det. Sammen og hver for sig har de oplevet vold og katastrofer af dimensioner, som i flere tilfælde overgår fantasien.

From CSI to Forensic Files to the celebrated reputation of the FBI crime lab, forensic scientists have long been mythologized in American popular culture as infallible crime solvers. Juries put their faith in "expert witnesses", and innocent people have been executed as a result. Innocent people are still on death row today, condemned by junk science.

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.

Meet Doctor Marie Cassidy. For more than 30 years, bodies have been her business. The lucky ones have died peacefully in their own bed, surrounded by loved ones. But it's not always like that. In Beyond the Tape, she invites us into the world of forensic pathology and shares her remarkable personal journey, from working-class Glasgow to becoming Ireland's head pathologist. A fascinating behind-the-scenes account of real-life forensics, the intricate processes central to solving modern crime and the stories from behind the crime tape.

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.

Former FBI profiler James Fitzgerald talks about his work on the Unabom Task Force that ultimately helped lead to the arrest of Ted Kaczynski on April 3. 1996.

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.
