- This book is divided into two sections and most of the content that could be disturbing is within section 2, especially toward the end with discussion of famous serial killers, hate crimes, and executions. The theme of this book is how we can be more compassionate humans, and the descriptions/mentions of violence and bigotry are in the context of condemning them. The author does promote forced institutionalization.vegetal's review against another edition
