True crime fans will be able to attend a 'Psychology of Serial Killers' event for one night only at the Liverpool Empire Theatre on January 29, 2023.
Forensics lecturer, Jennifer Rees will explore one of Forensic Psychology’s 'most troubling topics' and touch on several different issues throughout the night. During this talk, the audience will discover how serial killers are classified and many different types of killers including lust killers, BTK (blind, torture, kill) and 'visionary killers' such as David Berkowitz.
Jennifer will also discuss the differences between male and female serial killers and incorporate case studies for context. Other highlights of the night include the phenomenon of 'killer couples' such as Fred and Rose West and 'The Moors Murderers', Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.
