Killer by Design

 

Dr. Burgess was an integral part of the beginning of the Behavioral Science Unit of the FBI, working alongside profilers like Robert Ressler and John Douglas. Together they studied serial killers and helped local law enforcement catch others, like BTK and the Unabomber. It was interesting to see Ann's approach (from a more clinical point of view) versus books by John Douglas that I've read. And that was one of the points she made in this book, about why it was so important to have a team of profilers: everyone came at the problem with a different viewpoint and together they were stronger.
