A chilling follow-up to the popular true-crime book The Anatomy of Evil.
Revisiting Dr. Michael Stone's groundbreaking 22-level Gradations of Evil Scale, a hierarchy of evil behavior first introduced in the book The Anatomy of Evil, Stone and Dr. Gary Brucato, a fellow violence and serious psychopathology expert, here provide even more detail, using dozens of cases to exemplify the categories along the continuum. The New Evil also presents compelling evidence that, since a cultural tipping-point in the 1960s, certain types of violent crime have emerged that in earlier decades never or very rarely occurred.
The authors examine the biological and psychiatric factors behind serial killing, serial rape, torture, mass and spree murders, and other severe forms of violence. They persuasively argue that, in at least some cases, a collapse of moral faculties contributes to the commission of such heinous crimes, such that "evil" should be considered not only a valid area of inquiry, but, in our current cultural climate, an imperative one. They consider the effects of new technologies and sociological, cultural, and historical factors since the 1960s that may have set the stage for "the new evil."

Critic reviews
"Fascinating, disturbing... Budding criminologists will find this a useful resource for study and contemplation, while true crime enthusiasts will be riveted by the assiduous prodding into the criminal mind." (Publishers Weekly)

This book is incredible, intelligent, well researched, informative, thought provoking, and absolutely chilling.
This book details dozens of crimes ranked on their scale of what truly makes an evil person, which is well explained and easy to understand.
The crimes explained in this book are both well known and lesser known, which was engrossing. I feel like after reading this, there are probably 15 cases I would like to look up to see if there are separate books written about them.
Lastly, there were fascinating connections made between modern crimes and the changes to the world/human/women’s rights which I have never fully connected before- but it was mind blowing.
I highly recommend this book to both avid readers and knowledgeable true crime buffs and readers who are new to the genre. It’s fantastic.
