Now, in \u003ci\u003eJourney into Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e, Douglas profiles vicious serial killers, rapists, and child molesters. He is straightforward, blunt, often irreverent, and outspoken, but takes pains not to glorify any of these murderers.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the unique cases Douglas discusses include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Clairemont killer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe schoolgirl murders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichmond's first serial murderer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe brutal and sadistic murder of Suzanne Marie Collins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolly Klaas' abduction and murder by Richard Allen Davis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe tragedy that lead to the creation of Megan's Law\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eJourney into Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e, Douglas provides more than a glimpse into the minds of serial killers; he demonstrates what a powerful weapon behavioral science has become. Profiling criminals helps not only to capture them, but also helps society understand how these predators work and what can be done to prevent them from striking again. Douglas focuses especially on pedophiles and child abductors, fully explaining what drives them and how to keep children away from them. As he points out, \"The best way to protect your children is to know your enemy.\" He includes eight rules for safety, a list of steps parents can take to prevent child abduction and exploitation, tips on how to detect sexual exploitation, basic rules of safety for children, and a chart, based on age, that details the safety skills children should have to protect themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his review for \u003ci\u003eMindhunter\u003c\/i\u003e in the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Review, Dean Koontz said, \"Because of his insights and the power of the material, he leaves us shaken, gripped by a quiet grief for the innocent victims and anguished by the human condition.\" \u003ci\u003eJourney into Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e continues this perilous trip into the psyche of the serial killer, but also offers a glimmer of hope that profiling may enable law enforcement to see the indicators of a serial killer's mind and intervene before he kills or kills again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47098604454128,"sku":"2940171092276","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940171092276_p0.jpg?v=1763826903","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940171092276","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
