The Russian legal system and serial killers

[Laura Kline]

Dear All,

I have a student researching how the Russian and Soviet legal systems have
dealt with serial killers. She is just beginning to study Russian, so she
needs English-languages sources. Is anyone aware of books or articles that
deal with this topic? She has found a lot of information on specific cases,
but can't find any overview of the way the law has handled this problem
during the Soviet and post-Soviet periods. She is particularly interested in
the use of the insanity defense, when the death penalty was used or not
used, and the difference between treatment of serial murderers in jury and
non-jury trials.
Thank you for any leads!
Thank you!
Laura
