Review:
The Will to Kill offers a good introduction to trends and types of murder in America. The text is affordable for students, and it is written in an engaging manner that is interesting for students to read. The text is solidly grounded in research, but written in a manner that is appealing to wider audience, really for any person curious to learn about homicide.” (Minna Cirino)

The Will to Kill: Making Sense of Senseless Murder provides an overall well-rounded approach to the discussion of various types of homicide and the motivations behind them. Writing style is fluent and readable. This text uses numerous examples of killers which makes it both shocking and enjoyable for students to read.” (Emily Strohacker)

“There are a number of texts available but I use The Will to Kill because of the breadth of subjects it covers and the positive feedback I have received from students...The breadth of topics covered is an important strength of the text. The use of interesting cases to illustrate points makes the text very enjoyable to read. The text includes a lot of the research on the topics in a way that still holds the readers interest.” (Clete Snell)

The Will to Kill: Making Sense of Senseless Murder is a comprehensive text which describes different types of homicides within a limited frame.

The Will to Kill: Making Sense of Senseless Murder has successfully completed this difficult task.” (Dr. Fatematul Jannat)

“I selected this book because of the reputation of the authors and because the book does a good job of breaking homicide into meaningful portions without becoming too repetitive.” (Edward L. Powers)

“Very easy to read and comprehend.” (Alecia Schmidt)
