Dr. Eric Hickey
Professor of Criminology, Forensic Expert & Author of "Serial Murderers and their Victims"
Dr. Eric W. Hickey has been identified as one of the top 15 active forensic experts in the world and a renown national and international public speaker. He is a faculty member in Walden University’s Forensic Psychology doctoral program and has taught courses on serial and mass murder, criminal paraphilia, sexual predators, crime scene investigations, psychopathy, criminal personalities, arson and fire-setting, threat assessment and risk management, school and workplace violence prevention, and victimology. He has conducted seminars in countries throughout Europe, Asia and North America and has trained VIP protection specialists in Israel in profiling stalkers and conducting threat assessments and interventions. His expertise is chronicled in dozens of television documentaries including appearances on History, NPR, 20/20, A&E Bio, Oxygen, Reelz, GMA, CBC, TruTV, Discovery, TLC, CNN, Hulu, YouTube, BuzzFeed and NewsNation.
Dr. Hickey has worked with the criminally insane, psychopaths, sex offenders and other habitual criminals. He consults and testifies as an expert witness in both criminal and civil cases involving sex crimes against children and adults, criminal paraphilia, stalking, homicide, domestic violence, and serial crimes. A consultant to the FBI's UNABOM Task Force, Dr. Hickey assisted in the apprehension of Ted Kaczynski, the nation’s most prolific serial bomber. In the Jeffrey Dahmer case, Dr. Hickey is the only expert to have ever interviewed both his brother and his mother. Some of his other high-profile cases include Larry Hall, believed to have abducted and murdered 36 female college students while he posed as a Civil War re-enactor in cities around the U.S., Randy Woodfield, the I-5 killer, a narcissist who sadistically tortured and murdered several young women, and the MacArthur Park killer, Juan Cortez, who strangled and sodomized 7 men in downtown Los Angeles.
Speech Topics
Some of the Nicest People I've met are Serial Killers
Dr. Hickey has interviewed several American serial killers and published books on his findings. His presentation examines their etiology, motivations, fantasies, victim selection, and progressive violence. He separates fact from fiction, explores the prevalence of serial murder and current law enforcement response.
Criminal Psychologist Unravels the Twisted Minds of Sociopaths & Psychopaths
Would you recognize a true psychopath if you ever met one? Dr. Hickey has interviewed many offenders categorized as sociopaths or psychopaths. He debunks mythology surrounding their criminality, explains their gradations of dangerousness, who they target, and their need to prey on others.
Why I Pick Up Hitchhikers & Talk to Strangers: A Walk on the Darkside
For many years Dr. Hickey has picked up hitchhikers and engaged strangers he sees in public places. His curiosity, inquisitiveness and risk-taking has led him into amazing discussions with rapists, bank robbers, murderers, drug dealers, and thieves. His intuition has allowed him to shine light in areas never closely examined. He now shares those stories and what he has learned.
Stalking: A Crime that Leads to Crimes that Change Your Life Forever
Dr. Hickey has interviewed dozens of stalkers and their victims, both domestic and stranger. He provides insights to stalker-victim relationships, motivations of offenders, victim selection, the process of in-person or cyberstalking, cognitive distortions, and tips to protect yourself and others from stalkers.
Child Predators Hiding in Plain Sight in our Schools, Churches, & Youth Organizations
Dr. Hickey has interviewed many convicted child predators, some of whom are pedophiles and others child molesters. Understanding the distinctions are critical in assessing how these two groups find and target children. Child predators have become savvier with advances in technology as has law enforcement responses.
