Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boris Coster is perhaps the world's leading authority on what was previously known as the 'Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum'. His in-depth research into the history, beginning in the middle of the eighteenth century, of what we might call 'The Mother of all British Asylums', tells the reader its remarkable 157-year history, the good and bad times, and its terrifying times, to its closure when the Commission for Healthcare Improvement declared it unfit for purpose in 2003. This so-called 'high-security facility', Broadmoor, has housed and treated some of the most notoriously evil, mentally deranged killers in the black annals of British criminal history - the Devil's spawn - yet, while the majority were safely incarcerated behind the grim walls and glistening wire, others were freed to kill again and again, to terrorise communities, most shockingly with no accountability at all. Bestselling true crime author Christopher Berry-Dee brings to Broadmoor Sinister his own unique talents: psychopathological studies of the killers and comparisons with others of their same twisted ilk overseas, taking the reader on a dark journey inside the heads of these monsters.

Book Synopsis Escape from Broadmoor by : Gordon Lowe
Download or read book Escape from Broadmoor written by Gordon Lowe and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JOHN THOMAS STRAFFEN – Britain’s longest-serving prisoner – was the first patient to escape from Broadmoor Hospital and be prosecuted for a crime committed on the run. He killed within hours. Prior to this, at his home in Bath, he was dismissed as a loner, an imbecile, a ‘child trapped in an adult’s body’. On the afternoon of Sunday 15 July 1951, John Straffen strangled 8-year-old Brenda Goddard as she picked flowers. Three weeks later, he committed a similar murder before inadvertently confessing to the police.Faced with a serial killer with a mental age of 10, whose motive apparently was nothing more than to annoy the police, the court sent Straffen to Broadmoor Institute, as it was known then, for the criminally insane. But on 29 April 1952, having spent only six months at the Institute, he escaped in a carefully planned bid for freedom that should have been possible. During these four hours on the run, hoping to show the authorities he could be free and not commit further offences, Straffen instead murdered 5-year-old Linda Bowyer. Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his beleaguered government intervened to prevent Straffen walking free again.But was Straffen insane? Using previously unpublished documents, including government classified papers, author Gordon Lowe paints a vivid picture of a man who shocked the nation and confused the courts with his crimes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller 'There is time and then there is Broadmoor time.' Broadmoor. Few place names in the world have such chilling resonance. For over 150 years, it has contained the UK's most violent, dangerous and psychopathic. Since opening as an asylum for the criminally insane in 1863 it has housed the perpetrators of many of the most shocking crimes in history; including Jack the Ripper suspect James Kelly, serial killers Peter Sutcliffe (the Yorkshire Ripper), John Straffen and Kenneth Erskine, armed robber Charles Bronson, gangster Ronnie Kray, and cannibal Peter Bryan. The truth about what goes on behind the Victorian walls of the high security hospital has largely remained a mystery, but now with unprecedented access TV journalist Jonathan Levi and cultural historian Emma French paint a vivid picture of life at Broadmoor, after nearly a decade observing and speaking to those on the inside. Including interviews with the staff, its experts and the patients themselves, Inside Broadmoor is the most comprehensive study of the institution to-date. Published at the dawn of a new era for the hospital, this is the full story of Broadmoor's past, present and future and a dark but enlightening journey into the minds of Britain's most dangerous and how they are treated.
Book Synopsis Talking with Serial Killers: The Sinister Study of Stalkers by : Christopher Berry-Dee
Download or read book Talking with Serial Killers: The Sinister Study of Stalkers written by Christopher Berry-Dee and published by Diversion Books. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After over twenty-five years interviewing the most dangerous contemporary serial killers, bestselling true crime author Christopher Berry-Dee explores the darkest corners of these thrill-killers’ minds in Talking with Serial Killers: The Sinister Study of Stalkers. As law-enforcement authorities, including the FBI’s elite Behavioral Science Unit, will confirm, the majority of sexual psychopaths gain most of their perverse thrills from the stalking of their unexpecting victims. The target has often been followed and watched for weeks or even months, and sometimes even visited before they are attacked. But the actual kill is frequently less satisfying than the pursuit, after which the murdered victim is usually abandoned or thrown away. Exhaustively studying the case histories of more than sixty modern-day sexually motivated serial murderers—some still alive, others subsequently executed—Berry-Dee zeroes in on the Internet porn industry as one of the main motivating drivers in cultivating fantasy stalking, which can lead to multiple rapes and homicides graduating to serial murder. Even more chilling, anyone who is active on social media has a higher potential to be a stalker’s next target.
