challenging dark informative medium-paced

4.0

This was an interesting look into the work that's gone into linking the fields of criminal investigation and psychology/psychiatry. To have to pretend to empathize with murderers and violent criminals as a necessary part of one's job sounds incredibly draining. One of the hospitals mentioned in the section addressing the two killer nurses is familiar to me.  It was unsettling, though I guess my reaction points out the idea a lot of us live under, which is that violent crimes happen to other people in other place. It can't happen to us, or near where we feel safe.
