The Anvil in Basingstoke, Hampshire, will host a specialist talk about the psychology of serial killers on Sunday, March 15, 2026. This evening event aims to give residents a deeper look into the motivations and classifications of the world’s most notorious criminals.
Expert forensics lecturer Jennifer Rees will lead the presentation. She holds a Master of Laws in Criminal Law from Birkbeck’s Institute for Criminal Policy Research and has previously toured this talk to sold-out audiences across the country.
The talk covers several specific topics including how serial killers are classified and the psychological differences between male and female offenders. It also explores the phenomenon of shared psychosis and why some people are attracted to dangerous criminals.
The event includes discussions on high-profile cases like Fred and Rose West. This presentation is a continuation of a popular UK tour that has visited major venues such as the Edinburgh Playhouse and the Theatre Royal Winchester.
The session is set to begin at 7:30pm and is restricted to people aged 14 and over. Tickets for the evening are priced at £28.50, which includes a £4 booking fee.
