It explores a wide variety of topics relating to the Moors Murders case including: the historical and geographical context of the murders, the reporting of the case and the unique features which have become standard for other murder cases e.g. nicknames for the serial killers, and it discusses the nature of evil and psychopaths and how they are represented in film, drama, novels and art. It also questions the ethics of the ?serial killing industry? and how the modern cultural fixation on celebrity has extended to serial killers, and it explores the impact on the journalists and police officers from being involved in such cases including some interviews with them. The treatment of Brady and Hindley by the media also raises profound questions about the nature of punishment including the links between mental illness and crime and whether there is ever the prospect of redemption. This book draws on cultural studies, criminology, sociology and socio-legal studies to offers a multi-dimensional analysis of the impact of this case and then uses this as a basis for the analysis of more recent cases such as the crimes of Peter Sutcliffe and Harold Shipman. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Crime, Media and Culture 606 $aLaw 606 $aMass media and crime 606 $aVictimology 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aViolence 606 $aCrime 606 $aPopular Science in Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q31000 606 $aCrime and the Media$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BA000 606 $aVictimology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B1040 606 $aPopular Culture $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411170 606 $aViolence and Crime$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BG010 615 0$aLaw. 615 0$aMass media and crime. 615 0$aVictimology. 615 0$aPopular Culture. 615 0$aViolence. 615 0$aCrime. 615 14$aPopular Science in Law. 615 24$aCrime and the Media. 615 24$aVictimology. 615 24$aPopular Culture . 615 24$aViolence and Crime. 676 $a364.1523 676 $a364.1523 700 $aCummins$b Ian$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0784237 702 $aFoley$b Marian$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aKing$b Martin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337825103321 996 $aSerial Killers and the Media$92524129 997 $aUNINA
