Whether it's a heart hurt by unrequited love, or a lover so passionate they'll stop at nothing to get their way - even the most mild-mannered soul can suddenly flip, becoming a vengeful spirit with dark intentions. From the ancient Greek myth of Jason and Medea to Shakespeare's Othello, themes dealing with deeply felt emotions have persisted. But unlike mythology or fiction, The Best New True Crime Stories contains stories from real life.

Non pas un harcèlement moral, mais un harcèlement fusionnel. Les demandes répétées et le besoin d'aide permanent d'un adulte affectivement dépendant constituent en effet un harcèlement du "faible" sur le "fort" qui fait de lui un persécuteur qui s'ignore.

Through in-depth cultural and social analysis, Valenti reveals that powerful messaging on both extremes ranging from abstinence curriculum to Girls Gone Wild infomercials place a young woman’s worth entirely on her sexuality.
