James Alan Fox, dean of the College of Criminal Justice at Northeastern University in Boston and also legally blind, has been studying the minds and motivations of mass and serial murderers since 1980. His first book was written in 1985 at a time when the concept of multiple murderers was in the early stages of development and helped define the concept. He has written a further eight books, four of them statistical texts, with Jack Levin of the same university, and has become a nationally acknowledged expert in the field.

US loses pulling power
Article Abstract:
The number of foreign students choosing to study in the United States has been static for the last five years at about 463,000. Since it is estimated that overseas students put about $7.5 billion a year into the US economy and create 110,000 jobs, there is alarm at the trend in some quarters. It is felt that the US is not rising to the challenge of aggressive overseas recruiting from countries such as Australia and the UK. However, the government appears unconcerned and has cut funding to the agency which runs student advisory offices around the world.
