Kemper on Kemper is the first-ever collection of "interviews and encounters" with the notorious serial killer, Ed Kemper. The expanded edition includes the complete and never-before-published transcript of the April 1973 Ed Kemper confessions to the Santa Cruz Sheriff's Department. Through newspapers, first-person accounts, and interviews, Kemper on Kemper brings the reader from his early years as a disturbed wayward youth to the murders of his grandparents at age 15 and, later, his slaying of six college coeds before brutally killing his mother and her best friend. This book promises to take the reader on a nightmarish ride through Kemper's mind, as he explains the reasons for his killings with an acute grasp of his psychological make-up and skewed insight on life. He is everything and more that was hinted at in the popular TV series, Mindhunter. This is an essential book to add to your true crime library. Now, in its expanded edition, it is the most definitive book of Kemper interviews and encounters to date.Note: Misspellings in this book occur in the confessional transcripts, as it was published verbatim from the original transcribers of the Sheriff's Department. No attempt has been made to alter that original text.

Although higher education in the UK has expanded opportunities for much of the population, in many ways it remains stubbornly elitist. In order to address this crisis in education, Peter Scott, a leading expert and unique voice, examines the development of mass higher education and proposes a 'radical escape-forward'. He calls for more robust action to secure fair access at all levels and changes in the governance and management at both system and institutional levels to ensure more democratic accountability. Setting out a clear and radical programme for reform, this book makes an important contribution to current debates in education in the context of the evolution of the UK economy and wider society.
