The Russian legal system and serial killers

[Karen Porter]

I teach American law to Russian lawyers in Moscow in an LL.M. program (www.pericles.ru) and will try to get information from our school's list of practicing lawyers.

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.
