Excuses for criminals, misleading

This series title is grossly misleading, as it seems to be solely directed at telling us why we as society created these monsters, either through a traumatic childhood or other such influences, and thus completely diminishes the responsibility of the individual criminal. There is only one side given and it's implied that you should feel sorry for the perpetrator without too much thought really being given to victims, and the loss or injury they suffered. I highly respect the psychologists who treat these people, it can't be an easy job, but stigma exists usually for a reason, and attempting to reduce stigma surrounding child s** abuse and other such crimes, it seems like you're trying to encourage and normalise such behaviours, which is frankly disgusting to know such views are shared amongst academics. A horrendous series.
