Eric W. Hickey, Ph.D., Currently teaching criminal psychology at
California State University, Fresno, Dr. Hickey also serves as an
adjunct professor for Fresno City College and the California School
of Professional Psychology. Dr. Hickey has considerable field
experience working with the criminally insane, psychopaths, sex
offenders and other habitual criminals. Internationally recognized
for his research on multiple homicide offenders, Dr. Hickey has
published and lectured extensively on the etiology of violence and
serial crime. His book, Serial Murderers and Their Victims, 2nd
edition, will be published in a significantly revised third edition
by summer of 2001. The text is used as a teaching tool in colleges
and universities and by law enforcement in studying the nature of
violence, criminal personalities and victim-offender
relationships.
His research is often the subject of newspaper, radio and
television interviews including National Public Radio, Larry King
Live, 20/20, A&E, BBC, Good Morning America, Court TV,
Discovery and Learning Channel documentaries. Dr. Hickey frequently
speaks to school and community organizations and provides training
seminars for administrators, school psychologists and counselors in
addressing crime and the deterrence of violence.
A former consultant to the UNABOM Task Force, Dr. Hickey assists
various law enforcement and private agencies and testifies as an
expert witness in both criminal and civil cases. He conducts
training seminars for government agencies involving the profiling
and investigating of sex crimes, arson, homicide, as well as
stalking and workplace violence. Dr. Hickey has traveled to Israel
and trained VIP protection specialists from around the world in
profiling and deterring stalkers. He assisted in developing a
cyber-stalking training course for the National District Attorney′s
Association and the American Prosecutor′s Research Institute. His
latest research, a study of 220 victims of stalking, examines the
psychology and classification of stalkers, victim-offender
relationships, intervention and deterrence strategies for potential
offenders and modes of victim assistance.
"As a good encyclopedia does, the Encyclopedia of Murder and
Violent Crime brings together articles that offer diverse insights
into the topic, while at the same time giving the reader a feel for
its overall scope."
*AGAINST THE GRAIN*
"Its 24 subject areas and over 200 entries present a tightly
focused blend of categories present in other criminological
reference tools, such as family violence and organized crime, along
with newer headings on government sanctioned violence, legal
response to violent crime, cyber-stalking, and ethnic
cleansing....Libraries holding criminology reference works will
find this a useful supplementary source. This work is recommended
for college and university libraries."
*American Reference Books Annual*
"This carefully researched and excellently presented compendium
will be a welcome addition to all libraries."
*REFERENCE & USER SERVICES QUARTERLY*
"These authors have demonstrated an impressive body of academic and
applied scholarship from diverse disciplines . . . The result
is a topnotch reference book that will serve the needs of teachers
and researchers, graduate students, undergraduates, practitioners,
consultants, true-crime buffs, and general readers who are
intrigued by the material. In short, the Encyclopedia of Murder and
Violent Crime is simply too handy, complete, and scholarly to pass
up."
