Written by the forensic nurse who transformed the way the FBI profiles and catches serial killers, this thought-provoking book takes an intimate look at the creation of the Behavioral Science Unit-the inspiration for Hulu's Mastermind documentary.

In the 1970s, the FBI created the "Mindhunters" (better known as the Behavioral Science Unit) to track down the country's most dangerous criminals. In A Killer By Design, Dr. Ann Wolbert Burgess reveals how her pioneering research on sexual assault and trauma helped the FBI capture some of history's most violent offenders, including Ed Kemper (The Co-Ed Killer), Dennis Rader (BTK), Henry Wallace (The Taco Bell Strangler), and Jon Barry Simonis (The Ski-Mask Rapist).

This book pulls us directly into the investigations as she experienced them, interweaving never-before-seen interview transcripts, crime scene drawings, and her personal insight about the minds of deranged criminals and the victims they left behind.

Haunting and deeply human, A Killer By Design forces us to confront the age-old question that has long plagued our criminal justice system: "What drives someone to kill, and how can we stop them?"

Very thin & doesn't last
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
My dogs loves these but they are very thin and don't last long. My smallest dog 28lbs will eat these in less than 2mins and the bigger ones 95lbs will take like 3 bites and it's gone. Will be buying more because it's a great value for the money and my dogs love them.

Good stuff with some minor caveats
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: 1.5 Pound (Pack of 1)
My dog generally loves these. They seem to be a good quality ingredients. I think he likes the taste, but do know that they have a very smoky smell. I don’t know how fresh jerky can be, but they do seem like a very good value for the money. Another brand sells dog jerky as human quality. And my dog also likes that. The other brand is much softer, and this brand, wag, is a bit harder. So perhaps, if you have an older dog or a dog with teeth issues, this might not be the best choice.

Tasty treats, but don’t like the size.
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Dogs loved them, and it’s a great price for the amount of ounces you receive, but the individual pieces are too big - only 8 total in the package. I break them in half for my two dogs.
