Please make sure your device is listed before purchasing. Thank you *** Whether you are a true crime reader, or a criminal justice student, this Research is Ready for you! In Spouses who Murder, you’ll read about seventeen spouses who have been accused of murder.
Included is a wide-range of situations from the very well-known Scott Peterson case, who killed his 8-months-pregnant wife to an 88-year-old man who murdered his 83-year-old wife because he didn’t want her becoming a ‘decrepit old hag’.
Also, after the last chapter, you’ll see the data sorted in ways that should benefit any criminal justice student. The same seventeen killers who are in this book are resorted into newly grouped data. The first list is by dates of murder(s); the next is by age of killer at the time of murder(s), then by geographical location where the crime(s) occurred; and the last is by weapon(s) of choice.
This book includes information that can be found easily enough if the reader does the research. The research is compiled just to make it a generalized location for true crime data. A compilation of research is included on the cover so the reader is aware that this book includes an overview of the crime and the resources for further reading. Sources are cited within each topic area, whether they were used as a resource, or not. This is so you have more information at your fingertips should you decide to read further on any particular case. Each case has, at least, four resources per case.
