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.Â
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."

The New Evil Understanding the Emergence of Modern Violent Crime Audible Audio Edition Michael H Stone MD Gary Brucato PhD Charles Constant Tantor Audio Books Reviews
- Engaging and fascinating from the very beginning! The New Evil grows in intensity with case studies that will give a chill down your spine. Even if you are a study in true crime, there are details about real life cases that you’ve never heard. Fully recommended to anyone interested in true crime, psychology, and the human condition. Well written and filled with details that make you feel like you are present as the crimes are being described. Not for the faint of heart. A true masterpiece!
- I thought it was perfect to kick the book off with a horrific crime, lead us into learning the scales, and have at least one case to help illustrate each point of the scale to help readers understand the qualifications of each category.
From there I read dozens of cases and played along guessing the categories along the way and checking my work.
The book is a true crime delight; both terrifying and educational, my two favorite things! - I'm not quite sure what I was expecting, but I found myself disappointed. Imagine taking a 100-year-old shoe box worth of clippings of "true crime" newspaper stories, more or less sorting them in order of perceived heinousness, and printing synopses and you more or less have this book.
Such analytical/prescriptive passages as exist are facile and shallow. E.g. , bad people can kill a lot of people with semi-automatic weapons, let's ban them. Absolutely no reckoning with the Constitutional and practical complexities of the gun debate in America. No attempt to wrestle with the issue of how we handle the seriously mentally ill in the wake of the trend to de-institutionalization. It's analysis by bumper sticker.
Admittedly, some of the anecdotes are interesting in and of themselves, hence the second star. But the book fails to deliver on its subtitle. - As a lover of true crime, serial killer knowledge and a criminal justice student, I found this book to be very informative and thorough. I found it captivating and hard to put down. Every time I read a little more, I find myself more knowledgeable about these psychopaths in the book. Highly recommend!
- Join Drs. Michael H. Stone and Gary D. Brucato as they take you down roads where the mindless uncritical boosters of Humanity have long feared to tread
Ever wonder why things are the way they are, why incredibly violent acts have occurred with a rapidity unheard of in your lifetime? A question such as this may be a complete boggle to the average consumer- if you feel you have to wait in line for the next iPhone, do me a favor and read this book while you are sitting around
To be sleep is to accept the world as it is without question or study; to be awake is to question all you see and understand and, among other things, accept the concept of personal responsibility
Needless to say, those whom have been “awakened†(and once you have been awakened you may never “sleep†again) will populate the audience for this ground-breaking book which explores the societal forces at work in the last 55 or so years- recent memory to many of us- which have now bottle-necked into the moral morass in which we suffer at the present time
Some friends of mine brag that they have never read a book in their life and as such walk through life unprotected- l would counsel them to secure this book- learn and be awakened
Finish this lucid, well-written and well reasoned exploration of the ills presently plaguing American society and know you may not fall asleep ever again; Drs. Brucato and Stone outline, individually and separately, their various theses, exploring the circumstances of these crimes and clearly impressing upon these their definitions and understandings through the use and elucidation of Dr. Stone’s “Gradations of Evil scaleâ€- this book could easily be fashioned into an elective in any university’s curriculum
“Evil†is a term bandied about carelessly by the “PC†crowd- allow these two experts to unweave the obstructive strands which have long enshrouded this ancient abstraction as they cut into the core of the matters at hand; understand then how to define exactly what “Evil†is, and does; then project such understanding into your individual world-view and ask yourself “how have l changed since reading this book?â€

Susan B. Anthony was - I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I’ve read quite a few true-crime books for leisure and during my time in college when I thought I wanted to be a Forensic Psychologist. The New Evil is a very well written, easily enjoyable, and informative book for both casual readers and individuals who might be more well versed in the field. Both authors delve into the degree of what is considered “evil†which is no simple task, as the reader will discover throughout each increasingly grisly chapter.
The book is divided into two equally compelling parts, and it is fun to see each author’s personality and professional experience come through as you read. Part 1 offers case studies and insights into various crimes and the individuals that committed them. If you’ve read many books on this subject, some of names will be familiar, but the insights given with these individuals are refreshingly new, such as those given on Ed Gein and Albert Fish. Personally, a name unfamiliar (to me at least), was Tommy Lynn Sells, a story that I will try hard to forget. Part 2 offers explanations to possible reasons for the “New Evil†we are seeing, which include as a reaction from certain angry men toward the increasing independence of women, and an “alphabet†of last names of criminals and the acts they committed.
While it is not light reading, the tone the writers use is appropriate for such subject matter, and the respect they have for the victims and the facts concerning the crimes come through clearly. All in all, “The New Evil†is a very well researched book written in unflinching detail and filled with clever insights. Readers will be sure to enjoy testing out their prowess with the scale, as the will be equally horrified by the stories the book contains.
