I relished the looks of surprise on my classmates’ faces as I shared the sordid tales I’d created, and I rolled my eyes as my dad worried that I might be the next serial killer.

The Beseeching Woman

Research is a critical component of my work as a forensic psychologist. Before I ever sit face to face with an inmate to evaluate his violence risk, rest assured I’ve done my homework. I’ve poured over his prison files like the map to a buried treasure, wandering down rabbit holes, following dead-ends, and collecting clues […]
