Obsession is vital reading for anyone seeking
to understand and prevent violent crime. In Obsession, Douglas once again
takes us fascinatingly behind the scenes, focusing his expertise on predatory
crimes, primarily against women. With a deep sense of compassion for the
victims and an uncanny understanding of the perpetrators, Douglas looks
at the obsessions that lead to rape, stalking, and sexual murder. He plumbs
the minds and motives of those who commit these terrifying and seemingly
inexplicable offenses.
But Douglas also looks at obsession on
the other side of the moral spectrum: his own career-long obsession with
hunting these predators; the obsession of the directors of a model police
department's victim's program in Virginia that has literally saved the
lives of survivors; and the obsession of a brilliant young lawyer who has
established an innovative school in Harlem to combat crime, drugs, and
despair.
In a final section that serves as a call
to action, Douglas shows us how we can all fight back and protect ourselves,
our families, and loved ones against the scourge of the violent predators
in our midst. But the first step is insight and understanding, and no one
is better qualified to penetrate obsession than John Douglas. |
