"Crime and Terrorism" Crime has always made a good story, but the latter part of this century has seen a new twist, as notorious criminals have become popular icons, writing books and becoming the center of media attention. This takes a 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 this century and examines the history of terrorism in the Middle East and Northern Ireland. Two tape set - 48 minutes each.
