Synopsis

Confession Validity Issues explores the troubling intersection of politics and true crime, focusing on how confessions are assessed within the criminal justice system. It examines the legal standards determining if a confession is admissible, highlighting the psychological factors that can undermine its validity. The book argues that current legal standards often fail to fully account for the pressures that induce false confessions, leading to wrongful convictions, and emphasizes the importance of understanding interrogation techniques, like minimization and maximization, that can elicit unreliable statements. The book uniquely blends legal analysis with insights from social science and forensic psychology, advocating for reforms such as mandatory video recording of interrogations and improved training for law enforcement. Landmark cases such as Miranda v. Arizona, while intended to protect civil liberties, are scrutinized for their actual effectiveness. Did you know that vulnerable individuals are particularly susceptible to coercive interrogation tactics or that erroneous confessions can imprison innocent people while freeing actual perpetrators? Beginning with an outline of the legal framework, including Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights, the book progresses through psychological tactics used during interrogations, presents case studies of wrongful convictions, and concludes with specific reform proposals. This approach aims to provide legal professionals, law enforcement, and anyone concerned with justice a comprehensive understanding of confession validity and its implications.

    Anthropophagy – humans eating their fellow-humans – creates a curious blend of revulsion and fascination. When the perpetrator is a murderer – most commonly a sadistic serial killer – the crime is not only shocking, but also bewildering. 
    Moira Martingale’s comprehensive study, Cannibal Killers: The Impossible Monsters, was originally written in 1993, when the Internet was in its infancy, when few homes had computers and when the character Hannibal Lecter from the book and movie The Silence of the Lambs was regarded as an entirely fictional character, with no real-world counterparts or inspirations. The book demonstrated that this was an erroneous assumption. Translated into several languages and widely used as a resource by students studying for criminology degrees, this seminal work tracked the phenomenon of cannibalistic murderers throughout history, from the monstrous Sawney Bean, who killed and ate hundreds of travellers in Scotland five hundred years ago, to Jeffrey Dahmer, Andrei Chikatilo, Ed Kemper and Issei Sagawa – all loners, hiding their most terrible of secrets. 
    Then came the World Wide Web. In this comprehensively updated edition we see that in the twenty-first century cannibals who thirst for human flesh and blood are still among us, and, alarmingly, they have moved online to find their victims.

    The renowned Ted Bundy expert reveals never-before-published information on little known aspects of the serial killer’s crimes and victims. Due to Kevin Sullivan’s extensive writing about Ted Bundy (which has produced six books), he’s become a sort of magnet over the years, drawing out many people who were part of the Bundy story, but have otherwise kept a low profile over the decades; and these first-person contacts continue to this day.  As such, this is the first book in a new series of books, whose aim is to bring new revelations to the public about Bundy, the victims, the murders, and the almost murders that failed Bundy for one reason or another.  “With all the material we have on Ted Bundy, it’s easy to think we’ve thoroughly covered his life and crimes. But there still are holes, still things to learn . . . Newly discovered facts, some speculation, and some clarification—they’re all here. For those who can’t get enough of Bundy, the items in this illuminating volume show that we can still chip away at his secrets.” —Katherine Ramsland, author of Confession of a Serial Killer: The Untold Story of Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer
