Scotland Yard's Murder Squad by Dick Kirby
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Scotland Yard's Murder Squad is the latest book True Crime author Dick Kirby, who saved as a Policeman in a variety of elite units.

The book is a collection of stories,each featuring a notable case solved by the Murder Squad, these stories range from the early days of early days of squad up the 1990's and included cases involving child murderers to gangster's with locations from London to the crime ridden Islands of St.Kitts and Nevis islands.

The book also gives the reader an interesting insight into how the police used their instincts to get their man before the development and use of forensic evidence/ technology.

The author writes is an easy flowing manner making it a enjoyable read.

Review: The Bystander Effect

The Bystander Effect by Catherine Sanderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Bystander Effect: The Psychology of Courage and Inaction by Catherine Sanderson is interesting and brilliant looking into the to psychology behind the bystander effect.

The book is excellently up to date on the effects the bystanders and how social media can play a massive role in people's behaviour.
It also looks at some of new and old experiments carried out in the field of psychology my personal favourite being Milgram’s studies of obedience.

Overall the book is well written and a excellently up to date look at the bystanders effect , I recommended this book to anyone with a interest in human behaviour and to anyone with general interest in psychology.
