Dunblane 1996. Columbine 1999. Utøya 2011. Christchurch 2019. Lewiston 2023. What drives someone to commit the unthinkable? In Running Amok, forensic psychiatrist Paul E. Mullen burrows into the minds of lone wolf mass murderers, exposing the troubling patterns underlying their actions. Drawing on decades of first-hand experience assessing killers such as Australia's Martin Bryant and Anders Breivik, Mullen examines the key forces that unite them: obsessive rage, personal grievance, a fascination with weapons and a destructive quest for infamy – often culminating in suicide. Mullen challenges myths about madness and violence, revealing these killers not as incomprehensible monsters, but as deeply disturbed individuals shaped by knowable forces. Crucially, he offers guidance for recognising warning signs and improving threat assessment. Running Amok is both a searing investigation into mass murder and a call to action, urging society to confront these dark realities and prevent the next horror.

Mit einer Lebenszeitprävalenz von etwa 11 % ist Stalking ein weit verbreitetes Phänomen. Fachleute unterschiedlicher Disziplinen müssen sich zunehmend mit der Risikoeinschätzung und Therapie von Stalkern beschäftigen. Wie wichtig es ist, dieser Aufgabe sorgfältig und mit der nötigen Kompetenz nachzugehen, wird durch tragische Tötungsdelikte verdeutlicht, denen Stalking vorausging. Die deutsche Übersetzung des Stalking Risk Profile bietet eine praxisnahe, wissenschaftlich fundierte dynamische Risikoeinschätzung und vermittelt praxisorientierte Vorschläge für Therapie- und Managementstrategien. In einem umfassenden Einleitungskapitel werden die für die Interventionsstrategien relevanten rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen in Deutschland dargestellt.

Ein Leitfaden zur Risikobewertung von Stalkern - das "Stalking Risk Profile"

Stalking

Stalking has moved from being a novel area for study to become a core area of concern for mental health professionals, lawyers and other members of the criminal justice system. It has emerged as a significant social problem which not only commands considerable public attention but is now, in many jurisdictions, a specific form of criminal offence. This new edition brings the reader completely up-to-date with the explosion in published research and clinical studies in the field, and covers new issues such as cyberstalking, stalking health professionals, stalking in the workplace, female stalkers, juvenile stalkers, stalking celebrities, evaluating risk in the stalking situation, as well as exploring changes to the legal status of the behaviour. Illustrated with case studies throughout, this is the definitive guide and reference for anyone with professional, academic or other interests in this complex behaviour.
