Killer Carers

We all trust members of the caring professions to look after us and our loved ones in times of illness and adversity. But is it wise? Killer Carers lists a shocking number of misdemeanours committed by those in such positions of trust - from faking qualifications to mass murder. Infamous crimes committed by carers and nurses are here listed - from Benjamin Geen's deadly attempts to make himself a 'hero' to the stark cruelty of Beverley Allitt. The book raises some pertinent questions: what can be done to make sure such crimes never again take place? How can the caring profession police itself and avoid turning upon innocent workers? And what are the factors that influence people to attack the sick and weak? Herbert G Kinnell is a retired Scottish consultant psychiatrist with a special interest in the genetic causes of crime and mental disorders, as well as the social and medical care of vulnerable patients of all kinds in institutions and community.Kinnell, Herbert G. is the author of 'Killer Carers', published 2007 under ISBN 9781844019458 and ISBN 1844019454.
