Murder Squad

Every year more than 550 people are unlawfully killed in England and Wales. Who are these people, and how and why did they die? Since the motives for murder are many and varied - from domestic to serial sex killing - the techniques of tracking the killer and proving the case must be equally flexible. Working closely with one of London's murder squads, the authors investigate the business of murder, examining police techniques and increasingly sophisticated scientific processes, such as DNA analysis and psychological profiling. Taped interviews with murderers give added insights.
