Subtitle: "From the personal account of Robert Frederick Carr III." Introduction by Daniel W. Schwartz, Forensic Psychiatrist. Illustrated with 8 pages of photos. Bound in the original red boards, stamped in black on the spine. From the dust jacket: "This book is unique, for although the rapist-murderer has come to loom large in the American consciousness in the past decade, confounding our preconceptions about human nature and the interface between sex and violence, it was not until Robert Frederick Carr III poured out this remarkable confession that such a man took us into the caverns of his psyche -- and was articulate and intelligent enough to make his account valuable. Robert Carr was a slim, red-haired young auto salesman with a high IQ. In 1971 he began to feel irresistible urges to rape. He left his wife and children and set off on a five-year cross-country odyssey of violence. He would cruise through cities, pick up victims, charm and entertain them, subjugate them psychologically, then rape and sometimes kill them. So magnetic was his personality that he could take his captives to stores and nightclubs with confidence, knowing they would not try to escape. Eventually he was arrested. Determined to put an end to his crimes, he defied his lawyer and made a full confession, then led police on a macabre grave-digging tour up the eastern seaboard. Carr begged the noted journalist Edna Buchanan to take down his story -- to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. This is Carr's book. There has never been anything like it before.".

ABOUT THE BOOK:- This book has been written primarily for the medical students, medical officers and lawyers, especially those dealing with medico-legal problems. A Registered Medical Practitioner should have sufficient knowledge of laws & ethical aspects of Good Medical Practice, in order not to conflict with it during his/her professional practice. For that he/she ought to be familiar with various Acts, Rules & Regulations that are in force or else he/she may find himself/herself inadvertently contravening these & courting trouble & also amounting to professional misconduct attracting disciplinary action by the authorities. For that reason, provision of laws relating to medical practice in undergraduate/graduate curriculum should be seriously considered. Medical jurisprudence benefits immensely both the medical and the legal field of work. A better understanding and cooperation has resulted and has facilitated a smoother working of both disciplines.
