Step inside the world of forensic psychology with Dr. Debra Warner, one of the nation's leading experts on criminal behavior, trauma and offender profiling. Inside the Mind of a Serial Killer offers a rare, structured, and accessible look at how professionals analyze violent offenders- what drives them, how patterns form, and what the science actually reveals about motive, impulse and decision-making. Designed for general audiences, this live lecture cuts through myth and media distortion to present a clear, research-based exploration of the criminal mind. Dr. Warner draws on real cases, clinical experience, and decades of study to illuminate how investigators and psychologists identify behavioral red flags, understand offender pathways, and assess risk. The presentation includes a small number of graphic case-related images used strictly for educational and clinical context. A trigger warning will be given in advance, and attendees will have the opportunity to step out.
