Book description
In
Fatal Females
, investigative psychologist and former police profiler Micki Pistorius
examines the minds and motives of women who kill. Throughout history the
view seems to have prevailed that it is not in women's nature to commit
violent crime, but Pistorius shows that this is not in fact the case.
Women, givers of life, are indeed capable of ruthlessly taking life. She
examines more than fifty documented cases of South African female
killers, categorised according to the nature of the crime - for example,
infanticide, spree killings, stalkers, poisoners - and she presents her
new hypothesis to explain the psychology of that rare individual, the
female serial killer.
