    The next public meeting of the Irish Skeptics Society will take place on Wednesday, December 5th 2007 at 8pm in the Davenport Hotel, Merrion Sq., Dublin 2. We are delighted to host a lecture by Professor Harry Kennedy, Clinical Director and Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, National Forensic Mental Health Service, Central Mental Hospital, Dublin.

    The title of Professor Kennedy's presentation is "Understanding the criminal mind".

    Sounds pretty interesting alright.

    Do you have to be a member of the Irish Skeptics Society, or just can you turn up? Is there a fee?

    Seems an odd choice for the Skeptics no?

    Sorry didn't see this thread before posting my own about this. You don't have to be a member ... it's open to all. €6 to non-members.

    One of the main goals of the society is the promotion of science and public lectures have often just been aimed at giving people information/food for thought about issues within pure and applied sciences. Criminality and its accompanying individual psychology is often poorly understood and discussed in the media in uniformed ways ... in that sense it's a good topic our public lecture.

    You may know this book. It is the best book on the criminal mind I have ever come across. I used to be a spiritual adviser to a psychologist who worked with the "condemned" (death row inmates) at St. Quentin.

    Why They Kill: The Discoveries of a Maverick Criminologist by Richard Rhodes (Paperback - Oct 10, 2000)
