Abstract
Extreme Killing: Understanding Mass and Serial Murder is now in its third edition, with the first having been published in 1985. Fox and Levin have updated the latest version of the book in a number of ways. Many of the older cases have been revised and high‐profile new cases from around the world have been added. Two significant recent additions are chapters that discuss theories about the causes of multiple homicide and the role of firearms in multiple killings, including substantial discussion of the debates over American gun laws. Extreme Killing is one of few scholarly books on multiple homicide and is therefore widely cited by scholars working in the area as well as used in university teaching.
