Work Description
Anthropologist Elliot Leyton takes us through the underbelly of humanity, in search of "the landscape of murder", from lovers' quarrels and drunken fights to coldly calculated mass killings. A Jack-the-Ripper tour of London takes us to convicted killers on death row. We also visit a stretch of Nevada desert notorious as a dumping ground for murder victims. Discusses motives for killing and why some developed countries, notably the U.S., are more prone to murder than others.
