Decode the Criminal Mind with Handwriting Expert
|
|
|
|
Livingston Library
Community,
True crime is one of
the most popular genres at the library and it shows no signs of
slowing down. Have you ever wondered what the handwriting of a
murderer looks like? Did you know that various characteristics in
penmanship can explain various personality traits and perhaps even
“killer” tendencies?
Those interested in
penmanship and true crime are invited to join us on Monday, May 20th
at 7 pm for the lecture Criminal Minds: Killer
Handwriting, where handwriting expert, Terry
Antoniewicz, will explore high-profile criminal cases using the
handwriting specimens of Jack the Ripper, the American Jack the
Ripper, Ted Kaczynski, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Son of Sam.
During this lecture, we will dive deep into the letter size,
slant, and pressure of the handwriting, as well as the driving
psychological forces behind their horrific crimes. Registration is
not required for this event and all are welcome to attend.
