Gwen Adshead & Angela Gallop: What’s Behind a Crime?

When a violent crime is committed, who needs to get involved aside from the detectives? Dr Gwen Adshead and Professor Angela Gallop provide two different but equally eye-opening answers in their new books. The Devil You Know shares Adshead’s experiences as a forensic psychiatrist providing therapy to those who’ve committed violence. How to Solve a Crime explores forensic scientist Gallop’s insights into crime scenes, what to look for and how crimes are really solved. This promises to be an illuminating hour, chaired by Sally Magnusson.
