BBC Four - The Mystery of Murder: A Horizon Guide

Michael Mosley looks at how scientists have probed the mind of the murderer.

Michael Mosley uses the BBC archives to chart scientists' progress as they probed the mind of the murderer to try to understand why people kill, and whether it can help prevent it.

There are about 600 murders each year in the UK. So, what drives people to kill? Are some people born to kill or are they driven to it by circumstances? 

Michael Mosley delves into the BBC archives to chart scientists' progress as they probed the mind of the murderer to try to understand why people kill, and to find out whether by understanding murder we can prevent it.

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.
