What a book! It's very well written and organized! After reading other books about criminals, this was a great change to the norm. Dr. Samenow gives multiple examples on how a criminal goes throughout their lives from childhood, to school, peer pressure, the work force and basically when and if they end up in jail.
My ex-husband is the poster child for a sociopath. Dr. Samenow describes him to perfect detail in his pages. He is sneaky, a loner, a thief, a cheater, has killed several pets and is now a police officer. How fitting. According to Dr. Samenow, the criminal tries to blend in so their acts won't be noticed. How I wish he could spend some time with the ex.
I also admire the way Dr. Samenow has spent time with youth offenders. As a law assistant, I am fascinated with how or why our clients chose this life when their sibling has the same upbringing and chose a very different path. With all his years of research and hands on experience, he knows his stuff.
I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to know how or why criminals behave the way they do. It's very interesting and the examples of patients give an insight you may never have.
"I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review."
