""Fascinating, disturbing. . . . Budding criminologists will find this a useful resource for study and contemplation, while TRUE CRIME ENTHUSIASTS WILL BE RIVETED by the assiduous prodding into the criminal mind." -Publishers Weekly "The New Evil is a book that will not only be considered groundbreaking but a work that's also long overdue, given the violent changes that have convulsed the United States since the 1960s. A follow-up to The Anatomy of Evil, it is the study of evil itself and the individuals who commit it. There are reasons for the types of violence we are seeing today, and Drs. Michael Stone and Gary Brucato have given us not just something we want to read but also something we absolutely must read if we're ever going to understand the mind-set of these killers." -Kevin M. Sullivan, author of The Bundy Murders: A Comprehensive History "This impressive team of clinical experts has gotten as close to evil as anyone ever has. They've come face-to-face with some of the world's worst offenders. Building on Stone's twenty-two-step scale of evil, Brucato and Stone unflinchingly explore shocking acts of depraved aggression so we can better understand and treat violent individuals. The New Evil should be required reading in criminology and forensic psychology." -Katherine Ramsland, PhD, professor of forensic psychology and author of Confession of a Serial Killer: The Untold Story of Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer "A fascinating and disturbing addition to the study of violent crime and its motivations. Stone and Brucato explore the twenty-two gradations of evil and compare earlier felonious acts to the abrupt escalation and broadened diversity of the new era of violence that arrived in the 1960s. The New Evil merits inclusion on the reference shelf alongside the classics by Hare and Cleckley." -Diane Fanning, author of Bitter Remains and Edgar (R) Award finalist "Unflinchingly and insightfully examining hundreds of cases of serial murder, mass shootings, sexual assault, and other atrocities, Stone and Brucato dare to ask, `What is evil, and how does it fit into our current psychiatric and legal frameworks?' Their blood-chilling catalog of the most terrible crimes of the last half century is interwoven with keen observations regarding the role of our ever-coarsening culture in giving breadth and scope to these atrocities, giving us genuine pause upon pause." -John Douglas, FBI criminal profiler and author of the #1 New York Times-bestseller Mindhunter "This remarkable compendium of `evil' should be in the libraries of psychologists, psychiatrists, prosecutors, homicide investigators, criminal attorneys, and anyone with an interest in the criminal mind throughout the world. The extensive research alone makes this a benchmark text. The authors explain and define the elements of evil and illustrate to the reader this abhorrent evil from psychosis to psychopathy, ranging from crimes of passion to sexual serial murder. The text consists of the Scales of Depravity that uses a twenty-two-point gradation system to classify evil based on actual case studies encompassing information from over 780 research and clinical sources, which elucidate concise and detailed information about the psychodynamics and psychopathology of maladaptive behavior as it relates to murder." -Cmdr. Vernon J. Geberth, MS, MPS, Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and author of Sex-Related Homicide and Death Investigation "In this impressive book, Dr. Stone and Dr. Brucato provide one of the most comprehensive, conceptually clear frameworks on the typology of violence. Using extensive case studies, they explore and offer insight into different motives and patterns of homicides and other violent behavior. This book sharpens and enhances our understanding of violence and psychopathology of evil acts like no other resource." -Ali Khadivi, PhD,
