They haunt our memories and sow terror in our imaginations. Though they may grab headlines, Elliot Leyton points out that these killing represents only a tiny fraction of the homicides committed every year. We are more likely to fall victim to a spouse, friend or acquaintance. Know in his home province as “the Murder Guy”, Leyton is a pioneer in the academic study of murder – a man who study the many reasons people kill each other, and our reaction to the breaching of this worst of all taboos. Along the way, the film takes us through the underbelly of humanity: a Jack-the-Ripper tour of London; death row; a stretch of Nevada desert notorious as a dumping ground for murder victims; a gated American community where all residents are fully armed; and the NBC offices of Las Vegas crime reporter for whom another murder is just another story.
