The Evil That Men Do
Twenty-two years in the FBI, sixteen of them as a member of the Bureau's Behavioral Science Unit. Thousands of homicides, rapes, suicides, and other gruesome crimes. Roy Hazelwood, like many investigators, has seen it all.

I admit I skimmed through this one, as well as two others on serial killers. I can read on serial killers, and horror, and even watch the documentaries and horror movies, but I think with the true text of what really happen theres only so much that can be taken at once. I did enjoy what I did read of this book though, it was scary and real, I think thats why I had so much trouble finishing it, because all the horror that I read about of clowns and werewolves and stuff I know is all fake.....well...more
I read this before every show on TV was a true crime / profiler / detective type of show. Very interesting. This book will remind you to lock your doors, cover one eye to dialate your pupils in a parking garage, and to keep a round in the chamber and an extra clip in your back pocket.
This books is not writen especially for writers, but it could have been. It is a memoir of sorts, but it goes deep into the mind of the sexual predator. It reads like a novel. I highly recommend.
I picked up this book because Chris Carter had a quote on the back. It was an interesting read, but the bulk of the book was spent detailing Hazelwood's journey to becoming a profiler for the FBI.
Fascinating account of one of the first law enforcement people to develop profiles to assist in solving crimes. A good read for those who like true crime books and watch CSI.
All about the men who started the BSU and aberrant criminal profiling. Love this stuff. Guess it's my guilty pleasure.
Not for everyone, but if you're interested in profiling and the FBI's SOP, check it out..
Great book. Very informative and very depressing.
The fact that I really like this kind of book must really tell something about my profile.
Okay true crime thing.
disturbing but interesting!
Disturbing
This book is good insight into first, the depravity of man and insight into how evil one can be if "wired" that way. I really enjoyed this book though because I am fascinated by Quantico and Roy Hazelwood, along with John Douglas(one of my favorite authors)and several others, is one of the rock stars of it.
Women around the world should read this. It's a great book that really opens your eyes to how vulnerable and trusting you can be and how you can be taken advantage of as a result. It's filled with simple tips that can protect you from male predators. Great book.
I was expecting more in-depth case studies. Instead, this is kind of a rambling tribute the genious of Roy Hazelwood. There's at least one chapter that doesn't fit with the rest of the book. (Chapter 15, about the sailor that blew up a gun turret on a battleship.)
This is definitely at the top of the creepiest/grossest books that I have read--don't like to read it when alone in the house. However I loved it. It is pretty gruesome, nasty and terrifying--but riveting!
This is a morbid, poorly written book but like a train wreck (or VC Andrews novel) I couldn't look away. All the tales of serial rapists and killers were repulsive and intriguing at the same time.
There are some whackos out there, for sure. This book provides fascinating insights into that mindset.
great book. Lets you look behind the scenes of a profiler.
Crazy stories about evil men. Good read but scary
Very scary and insightful.
