I am a 12 year old that read this book, and I have to say my passion for what Roy Hazelewood does has deepend. I read this and am still amazed at what evil men can do. I plan on working for the FBI and I think this book is a must-read for anyone interesting in this kind of subject.

No offense but I didn't want to read a biography about Mr. Hazelwood. I wanted to learn about predators. To much about Roy. Stick to the title next time.

I loved this book. I am a 3rd year college student, currently interested in being a medical examiner, and some day retiring as a criminal profiler. This book gave me insight, and made the career more appealing to me. If you get bored with the book at first, stay with it, it picks up. The only thing I would want Roy to change would be, to put the pictures in the book in color. I am also going to cut open dead people for the rest of my life, so I may a 'special' case!

I didn't finish reading this book. After the second chapter (The Lonely Hearts Killer), I gave up on this book as the discussion on Harvey Glatman, the Lonely Hearts Killer was not comprehensive. The book didn't discuss in detail of Harvey Glatman's killings and how he was caught. The first chapter (His Influence is Everywhere) is an account of Stephen Michaud meeting with Roy Hazelwood. Who really cares? The book is titled 'The Evil That Men Do' so let's get to the Evil instead of your party with Roy Hazelwood. For a detailed discussion on Harvey Glatman, the Lonely Hearts Killer, read Signature Killers by Robert Keppel.

They will take you thru a disturbing journey, where you will be walking aside the criminal themselves without every leaving your home. Make sure to lock your doors and windows, and to leave a little night light on.

This book gave an excellent insite into the career of a criminal profiler. Roy Hazelwood is an amazing man who peaked my interest and curiosity. After reading this book, I have decided to change my future career path from psychology to criminal psychology with hopes to be a criminal profiler some day. His definition of the organized and disorganized criminal is absoultely brilliant yet simple to understand. I am extremely happy that this book was written because it has opened new doors to my future. This was an outstanding book that I could not put down. I highly recommend it to anyone who has any interest in understanding why a criminal does what he does, especially the sexual criminal.

This is the book to read if you are insterested in the mind of serial killer. It will give the detail of the crime and how they did it. I will also give the reactions of the victims, the one's that are still alive. This one the best books that I have ever readed, and I recommended for people that like this kind of action.

I am more informed as a result of reading this book. It saddens me that there are these stories to tell. I found the information about the FBI buracracy funny. This was a well done project along the lines of the John Douglas books.

Overview
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. But unlike most, he's gone further -- into the dark and twisted psyches of serial killers and sadistic sexual offenders -- and has emerged as one of the world's foremost experts on the sexual criminal.
Now, acclaimed true-crime writer Stephen G. Michaud takes you into the heart of Hazelwood's work through dozens of startling cases, including those of the Lonely Heart Killer, the "Ken and Barbie" ...
