Farrell, Michael.

Criminology of homicidal poisoningoffenders, victims and detection /[electronic resource] :by Michael Farrell. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - xvii, 209 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Instructive poison cases -- Chapter 3: Criminal poisoning in theory -- Chapter 4: Understanding Poisons -- Chapter 5: Poisonous plants, animals, bacteria, and drugs -- Chapter 6: Elements and 'other poisons' -- Chapter 7: Poisoners and their characteristics -- Chapter 8: Victims of poisoning -- Chapter 9: Detection and its avoidance in poisoning cases -- Chapter 10: Poisoners on trial -- Chapter 11: Conclusion.

This book provides an overview of historical and contemporary cases of homicidal poisoning. While homicidal poisoning is sometimes thought of as a thing of the past, it continues to be a contemporary problem, and in fact the unknown offender rate for poisoning cases is 20-30 times that of other homicide types in contemporary research, and many poisoners commit serial homicides while going undetected. The author of this important and timely work explores the theoretical bases for understanding homicidal poisoning, the nature of poisons used in homicidal cases, the characteristics of poisoners and their victims, and techniques for detection and prevention. This unique book will be of particular interest to: students of criminology (classes dealing with criminal psychology, and murder investigation); students of the history of crime; criminal justice professionals: attorneys, homicide detectives, forensic pathologists, forensic and clinical toxicologists, and other forensic investigators; and all interested in poisons, poisoners and the detection of poisoning. It has relevance to criminology, law and policing, toxicology and forensic science, the history of crime and detection, and criminal psychology.
