Book Description
The MASKS of KARLA HOMOLKA - MY INTERVIEWS with KARLA HOMOLKA: The "KEN and BARBIE" SEX KILLER! by Dr. Paul Dawson presents a forensic-clinical psychologist's analysis and detailed scrutiny of Karla Homolka. Karla was the significant other in a notorious, degenerate serial-sex-killer couple known as "The Ken and Barbie of Murder and Mayhem" operating from 1990 to 1993 out of Ontario, Canada. Additionally, Karla's partner in crime, Paul Bernardo, had a sideline activity as a serial rapist - he was the mysterious "Scarborough Rapist" who raped dozens of young women. Karla and Paul kidnapped, tortured, raped, mutilated, and murdered several pretty teenage girls. While Bernardo was convicted of the rapes and sex-murders and got a life sentence in a maximum prison, Karla managed a sweetheart "deal with the devil" to escape serious punishment. Karla Homolka did some easy time in a "Club-Fed" Canadian prison and was released in 2005. She now enjoys a fairy-tale ending with a new husband and three kids on a tropical Caribbean island. Graphic, shocking, and detailed secrets of sex, kidnapping, torture, rape, murder, lies and videotape are revealed in interviews in this book. Sensitive readers are warned that this book includes graphic descriptions of sex crimes and blood-thirsty sex killers' depravity. You should brace yourselves for a bumpy ride exploring the dark side behind Karla and Paul's bond, picture-perfect wedding, and marriage. A must-read for true crime fans seeking a deeper diagnostic evaluation and probe of the infamous "Barbie" woman serial-sex killer. Dr. Dawson earned a Ph.D. in psychology from The New School for Social Research, Graduate Faculty, New York City. Dr. Dawson has been chief psychologist of a state prison system, clinical psychologist in mental hospitals, clinics and in private practice.

Pages : 571
Book Description
One of Canada’s finest crime reporters tells the whole story of the infamous Bernardo-Homolka case. NOW UPDATED WITH A NEW CHAPTER The sensational trials of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka for abduction, rape, manslaughter and murder caused widespread controversy that continues to this day. The public was particularly outraged by the so-called “sweetheart deal” — the twelve-year sentence Homolka received as part of an agreement with government lawyers. Journalist Nick Pron gives us a comprehensive account of previously banned information about Bernardo and Homolka; about Homolka’s role in the death of her sister Tammy; of slip-shod police work and lack of communication that allowed Bernardo and Homolka the opportunity to murder schoolgirls Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy; of the host of disturbing facts that were ruled inadmissable at the trial. A new chapter details the most recent, shocking facts of Homolka’s life in prison, including her alleged “special treatment,” such as private access to the prison’s beauty salon and gym, and rumoured liaisons in Kingston’s Prison for Women. Also detailed are her startling plans for the future. As Karla Homolka’s release date nears, many will reflect on her place in history, and on the Canadian legal system.

The Scarborough
Author: Michael Lista
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781550653885
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Scarborough takes place over three days in 1992: Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday. It is the weekend 15-year-old Kristin French was abducted and murdered by Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. In poems both opulent and stricken, ravishing and unflinching, Michael Lista--who was nine, at the time--revisits those dates, haunted by the horrifying facts he now possesses. Inspired, in part, by Dante's Inferno, Virgil's tale of Orpheus' descent into the underworld for Eurydice, as well as the Bernardo trial itself--where the judge ruled that the gallery could hear the video tapes of the crimes, but not see them--Lista's poems adhere to a single rule: you cannot gaze at the beloved you seek to rescue. The Scarborough is a shiveringly bold book about Bernardo that doesn't show us Bernardo, a conceptual project that ignores its concept.

Invisible Darkness

Publisher: Bantam

Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 553
Book Description
Perfect for fans of Making a Murderer and The People v. O. J. Simpson, Invisible Darkness is the story of one of the more bizarre cases in recent memory—killings so sensational that they prompted the Canadian government, in the interests of justice, to silence its national press and to lock foreign journalists out of the courts. To all appearances, Paul and Karla Bernardo had a fairytale marriage: beautiful working-class girl weds bright upper-middle-class guy and they buy a fashionable dream house in the suburbs. But, bored with his straight, prestigious accounting job, Paul soon went freelance as an international smuggler. He also revealed his boredom with conventional sex—enough so that, one Christmas Eve, he persuaded his wife to drug her own sister and engage in a menage a trois, during which the sister died (a bungling coroner ruled her death accidental). The couple then upped the ante, kidnapping and imprisoning several high school girls for sexual marathons, which they videotaped before savagely murdering their captives. When the girls’ bodies were found, the police were stymied (although Paul had been accused of rape and given a DNA test that vanished for two years and only recently was linked to some fifty sexual-assault cases) until Karla tried to have her husband arrested for wife beating. During questioning, she confessed to the crimes and is now serving two concurrent twelve-year sentences for manslaughter in exchange for testifying against her husband, who was jailed for life.

Crime and Punishment in Contemporary Culture
Author: Claire Valier

ISBN: 1134461054
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Today, questions about how and why societies punish are deeply emotive and hotly contested. In Crime and Punishment in Contemporary Culture, Claire Valier argues that criminal justice is a key site for the negotiation of new collective identities and modes of belonging. Exploring both popular cultural forms and changes in crime policies and criminal law, Valier elaborates new forms of critical engagement with the politics of crime and punishment. In doing so, the book discusses: · Teletechnologies, punishment and new collectivities · The cultural politics of victims rights · Discourses on foreigners, crime and diaspora · Terror, the death penalty and the spectacle of violence. Crime and Punishment in Contemporary Culture makes a timely and important contribution to debate on the possibilities of justice in the media age.
