Yes, a new look, a new host, but the same quality show!

Scott Bonn has been corresponding with Berkowitz for several years as research for an upcoming book (tentatively titled Monster Dearest: Our Macabre Fascination with Serial Killers) thus gaining his trust and finally being granted an in person visit at Sullivan Correctional Facility in Fallsburg, NY.  Bonn came away from the meeting with a sense of sincerity from Berkowitz about his conversion to Christianity and his ministry within the prison. Bonn reports that the Son of Sam is now known as Son of Hope because of his wish to help others spiritually.

The debate about Berkowitz will go on for a long time, he will never be out from behind prison walls and, according to Scott Bonn, has no intention of asking for parole in the future. He seems content with his life, has made apologies, and is working on being an example to others.

Dr. Scott Bonn will include even more details of his visit in his upcoming book, along with his insights to other serial killers he has corresponded with, including Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer and his theories on the identity of Jack the Ripper. Monster Dearest is looking to be available in early 2014.

Dr. Scott Bonn is located in Manhattan and is available for live on-air commentary, expert consultation and speaking engagements. More information about his experience and past media appearances can be found at his website, DocBonn.Com   Please call (843.808.0859) or email (contact@imaginepublicity.com) to discuss media opportunities.

Bullying is a distinctive pattern of deliberately harming and humiliating others. It's a very durable behavioral style, largely because bullies get what they want—at least at first. Bullies are made, not born, and it happens at an early age, if the normal aggression of two-year-olds isn't handled well.....

Psychology Today

Gracie Fulljames and Dennis Griffin  will continue our discussion of bullying with Professor of Criminology and criminal behavioral expert Dr. Scott Bonn. During the hour they’ll be joined by former teacher, a current teacher and a victim of bullying, as well as taking calls from the audience.

Dr. Scott Bonn, Drew University Sociology Professor, will be on hand to tell us what makes a bully tick and discuss anti-bullying programs with current and former teachers.

Scott Bonn is not your average academic.  He teaches courses in criminology, sociology of deviance, media and crime, and criminal justice.

Doc Bonn’s primary research interests include white-collar crime, state crime, domestic violence, serial homicide and how the media influence society.  His research frequently examines how and why the public forms its beliefs on complex issues such as murder, domestic violence, capital punishment, war crime and terrorism. Bonn is the author of the current book, Mass Deception: Moral Panic and the U.S. War on Iraq which argues that the George W. Bush administration manufactured public support for the war on Iraq.
