Summary: Helped with identifying troubled teens
Review: I wanted to comment on this book and tell everyone that this is a must read for anyone connected to law enforcement and child guidance. I have worked for 19 years in several facilities for disturbed teenagers. The patterns discussed in this book mirror what I have actually seen and heard from these teens who have committed violent acts with little >or no remorse shown. as you read the New Predators you see as I have seen that some young women can be as fierce and aggressive as young
men when they decide to attack and feel absolutely no remorse for their acts. This book tells it like it is in the real world of the people in the front line, dealing with these increasingly troubled and hostile young people. I fear for what
is coming from these people as they grow older and more adept at covering their tracks. craig pierron

Summary: Easy to read and understand
Review: I'm a psychologist who works with violent girls. I picked this book up because I wanted to see if there were specific behaviors I should be looking for in my practice. Once I read this book, I immediately understood what the doctor was talking about. I am seeing the behaviors discussed in the book in the girls in my practice. I like the way the book was written and would recommend it to other psychologists and social workers who work with violent girls.

Summary: This is a must read for all of law enforcement
Review: I've been a Police Officer in a large midwest city for 23 years. The last 16 years have been spent on Homicide. This book should be on every law enforcement officials must read list. I was astounded at Dr. Kauflin's insight. In all of my training, and all of the books I've read, this is the one definitive work that you should read, think about, and read again. It gives the detective new insight, and the layperson a glimpse into the mind of the people we encounter everyday, and may not realize it.

Summary: very thought-provoking book
Review: The author weaves stories of various female serial/mass murderers in between clinical observations in such a way that the book is "enjoyable" to read. With an emphasis on prevention of serial/mass murder by describing characteristics of convicted female serial/mass murderers, this book should help teachers recognize which kids need help. And it could, along with the services of a qualified profiler, help law enforcement professionals solve "unsolved" crimes. But it's also a very good read and easy to understand, so those in search of a good book will enjoy it as well.

Summary: Good Research
Review: This book is good for anyone interested in how serial killers are profiled or come to be. The author correctly points out, too often, that there is little information on female killers. Granted, the number of interviewees is limited, but the author makes that clear but still brings out good detailed information. There is very little of the actual interviews, primarily because of anonymity agreements between the author and the killers. Still, there are enough tidbits to get the flavor of how the interviews probably went. The book is not quite as published as other books in the genre. It might have been a polished PhD thesis. Regardless, it is definitely worth a reading. This topic is almost certain to become more significant over the next decade.
