Crime and Terrorism

Crime has always made a good story, but the latter part of the 20th century saw a new twist, as notorious criminals became popular icons, writing books and becoming the center of media attention. This program takes a close look at one such criminal, the British gangster Frankie Fraser, and features psychologist David Canter, a pioneer in criminal profiling, who explains the current phenomenon of the serial killer. The program also explores the role of organized crime in the 20th century, and examines the history of terrorism in the Middle East and Northern Ireland. (49 minutes)
