Poster for "Psychology of Serial Killers" with Jennifer Rees, featuring six monochrome portraits of serial killers, a shadowy figure, and blood-splattered red text over a dark, misty forest.

Join forensic psychology lecturer Jennifer Rees for a fascinating look into one of forensic psychology's most disturbing subjects: the minds and motivations of serial killers.

Discover how serial killers are classified, from lust killers such as the BTK Killer to visionary killers like David Berkowitz (Son of Sam), with real-life case studies bringing each category to life.

Jennifer will also explore common serial killer myths, the differences between male and female offenders, and infamous killer couples such as Fred and Rose West and Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.

Why do some people become romantically attracted to convicted serial killers? Learn about Hybristophilia, the psychology behind killer admirers and the phenomenon of shared psychosis.

The talk will also explore homicidal fantasies and how unidentified victims are named, including a fascinating time-lapse video showing facial reconstruction from a skull.

An intriguing and thought-provoking evening that may challenge everything you think you know about serial killers.

Age guidance: 14+ years. Under 16s must be accompanied at all times by an adult (18+)
