The True Criminal (1958)
About this film
The psychopathic criminal is our most serious crime problem. We can define characteristics of this criminal, but we cannot really treat him nor prevent him from committing crimes. A film and tape recording bring ruthless killer Stephen Nash to the program. Herman Goering is described as an example. We then see three more typical and less violent prototypes: the con man, the bigamist, and the youthful car thief. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
