Top 100 criminals listed
British criminal psychologists are putting together a list of the 100 most dangerous murderers and rapists before they have committed any such crimes, the Times said yesterday. Experts from London's Metropolitan Police's Homicide Prevention Unit are creating psychological profiles, compiled through statements from previous partners, information from mental health workers and details of past complaints. The team is apparently focusing its work on reducing the risk of those with a history of involvement in domestic violence turning to murder, the Times said. Pilot projects to target high-risk future offenders have been operating in five London boroughs for about two months.
