THE MEASURE OF MADNESS: INSIDE THE DISTURBED AND DISTURBING CRIMINAL MIND
Book ID/图书代码： 14780010B35870
English Summary/英文概要： “The defendant told the jury that he did not kill girlfriend. He did, however, admit to dismembering her, boiling her bones, and hiding them in the Port Authority locker.”
At the heart of countless crimes lies the mystery of the human mind. In this eye-opening book, Dr. Cheryl Paradis draws back the curtain on the fascinating world of forensic psychology and revisits the most notorious and puzzling cases she has handled in her multifaceted career.
“Out it all came, a slew of bizarre comments about the electronic chips implanted in his brain.”
Her riveting, sometimes shocking stories reveal the crucial and often surprising role forensic psychology plays in the pursuit of justice. Sometimes the accused believe their own bizarre lies, creating a world that pushes them into frightening, violent crimes.
“My client is charged with murder and tells me he is a descendent of kings. He says he is of royal blood. Can you evaluate him for an insanity defense?”
Join Dr. Paradis in a stark concrete cell, with the accused handcuffed to a chair opposite her, as she takes on the daunting task of mapping the suspect’s madness—or exposing it as fakery. Have a front-row seat in a tense, packed courtroom, where her testimony can determine an individual’s fate. The criminal mind has never been so intimately revealed—or so darkly compelling.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “被告跟陪审团否认杀害自己的女朋友。事实上，他后来坦承，他先肢解她，煮她的骨头，后来还把她藏了起来。”
无数犯罪的中心都隐藏有人的思想的谜团。本书无疑是夺人眼球的，作者毫不吝啬揭开了犯罪心理世界的帷幕，重述了她接手的最耸人最一头雾水的案件，震惊、叹为观止，有时甚至连被告都会被忽悠过去。
“我有一位当事人被控谋杀，还声称自己是国王后裔，有皇族血统。你能为他作精神失常辩护吗？”
注意了，凝神聚气，作者的证词将决定一个人的命运。罪犯的心理从未被剖析的如此透彻，又如此吸引人。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
