Perfiles psiquiátricos de mujeres asesinas

Women, like men, are capable of killing, of planning the criminal act for reasons as emotional as revenge, greed or jealousy. The motive is rarely sexual violence, aggression or self-defense because physical inferiority places women at a disadvantage in direct confrontation, which leads them to use more sneaky and cunning ways. César Alcalá and Alicia García bring us closer to the most psychotic murderers who caused pain and suffering to their victims to later end up murdering them. Thanks to this work we will learn about the most unique features of women such as Gabriela Erzsébet Báthory, Margarita Ruiz de Lihory, Aurora Rodríguez Carballeira, Rosa Peral Viñuela, María Jesús Moreno Cantó, Susan Leigh Vaughan, some Nazi guards, María de los Ángeles Molina, Jeanne Moulinet , Marybeth Roe Tinning, Enriqueta Martí Ripollés... Up to a total of twenty-two women, the reader will be able to discover what their lives were like and their criminal psychiatric profiles. Criminal profiling is an investigative technique that allows the psychological portrait of the criminal to be drawn through the study of their social environment and the physical or behavioral signs found in the environment of the crime. Throughout these pages, the authors unravel the motivations that led these women to kill, as well as the procedures they used according to their age, social status or relationship with the victim.
