"My focus is on understanding why people commit violent and predatory acts, not to help them become better, more law-abiding citizens, but to aid in catching them, prosecuting them, and putting them away" -John Edward Douglas 📚
Anyone else like reading true crime books? 📖
Yesterday I treated myself to a bit of book shopping and left with two romantic comedies and one true crime book. Hours later, I got another true crime book on audible (its all about balance) 😂
I picked up a book from my favorite criminal profiler, John Douglas, who has spent decades interviewing and researching many serial killers, including the BTK stranger and Ted Bundy 📖

I find criminal profiling to be fascinating and truly admire how much work and research this profiler did to understand the minds of violent criminals. As a reader, it can be hard to stomach the graphic details of these barbaric murders. It is equally hard to read about the mind of a person who lacks empathy and humanity. However, it is interesting to look into how these monsters are created. Are they born this way? Does their environment or upbringing play a role? Do past experiences have something to do with it? The author presents us with some truly chilling interviews he conducted in prison over the years 📖

Sidenote: I'm not a fan of starwars but love the quote on these socks 😍 Sorry to the starwars fans out there. I will acknowledge that Yoda is pretty cute and smart though :)
