Outstanding and revealing documentary

Outstanding and revealing documentary Highlighting the risk of Group Think within the context of modern criminal psychology and its repercussions in modern Swedish policing. The implications for the families of the victims of unsolved murders becomes unbearable.

very effective presentation with a surprise second half

Nice job....I am a retired criminal defense lawyer in SLC, Utah, and half-way through I wanted to volunteer to go to Sweden and fix Mr. Quick---are these people really descended from the Vikings? Then, the second half put the problem in perspective and I have seen how this could happen and has happened in a limited way in my own practice (false confessions). The division of the film into halves without disclosing to people who know nothing of the case of contents of the second half was very effective. Yes, the sin was the complacency caused by zeal of the psychologists ---perhaps at least one or two of the perpetrators could have been caught.

This was a very good documentary.
