What reading level is The Serial Killers: a Study in the Psychology of Violence book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Douglas Clark told the jury: ‘I don’t march to the same drummer you do. If we were all like me, Sodom and Gomorrah might look a nice place to stay.’ It might seem fair comment to say that killers like Clark, Heidnik, Gallego, Birnie, and Brady are a sign that our world is rushing down a Gadarene slope into decadence and ruin. Yet such a verdict might be premature. There is nothing in the career of any modern serial killer that could not be paralleled by equally horrifying events from the past – ...from the lives of Tiberius, Caligula, Tamerlaine, Ivan the Terrible, Vlad the Impaler, Gilles de Rais, Countess Elizabeth Bathory and dozens of others. The historian John Addington Symonds, in a section on ‘The Blood-madness of Tyrants’ in his Renaissance in Italy, suggests that it might be explained in medical terms, ‘a portentous secretion of black bile producing the melancholy which led him [Ibrahim ibn Ahmet] to atrocious crimes’. We can see that this explanation simply fails to go to the heart of the matter.
