D. Pizitz, P: Criminally-Minded

Crime and victimization are not new phenomenon. Why some can walk amongst us and violate and perpetrate others can be baffling and lead clinicians, law enforcement officials and the courts to wonder why such crimes occur. This book focuses on four types of criminal offenders: Drug and Alcohol Offenders, Adolescent Sexual Offenders, Adult Sexual Offenders, and Female Psychopaths. The contributing authors‘ extensive experience is captured in this book and offers the reader an informative and thoughtful perspective on each offending population. Hallie Ben-Horin, Ph.D. delves into the world of female psychopaths and her extensive research into the field psychopathy and women is intriguing and comprehensive. Michael Stanfill, MA provides a complete review of adolescent sexual offenders and his work offers a thorough exploration of this juvenile phenomenon. Finally, Todd Pizitz, Ph.D. offers an informative discussion on Adult Sexual Offenders and Alcohol and Drug Offenders utilizing a uniquely experiential foundation based on his work as a forensic psychologist. This book is the first in a series of books on criminal offenders.
