The Myth of the Out of Character Crime

When a person commits a crime that seems completely out of character people are shocked. Even those who think they know the perpetrator well cannot make sense of what has happened. In this book follow a forensic psychologist Stanton E. Samenow as he unravels the personality of the person accused of the crime -- as he attempts to explain what seems unexplainable. Dr. Samenow helps place the crime in a context. His work demonstrates that in fact there is no such thing as an out of character crime.
