What's the story?
David Wilson's Crime Files.
Tell me more.
Criminologist Professor David Wilson returns to our screens with a 10-part second series of his BBC Scotland crime talk show.
Some details please?
The opening episode sees Wilson seek to understand what could motivate a spree or mass killing.
Forensic clinical psychologist David Cooke shares his specialist knowledge on the 1996 Dunblane Massacre in which 16 children and their teacher died. He discusses the personality traits of a mass killer and which of these gunman Thomas Hamilton displayed prior to the shooting.
Dr Mick North, whose five-year-old daughter Sophie was killed that day, shares his thoughts on Hamilton and talks about his own work campaigning for gun control in the UK and now America.
Anything else?
Wilson travels to The State Hospital at Carstairs where, in 1976, psychiatric patients Robert Mone and Thomas McCulloch hatched a brutal escape plan that left three people dead and at least three others injured.
A night-long, cross-border manhunt followed. Former senior police officer Graeme Pearson was tasked with escorting Mone back to Scotland. He reveals what it was like being called to the scene and giving chase to the fleeing pair.
When can I watch?
David Wilson's Crime Files is on BBC Scotland, Sundays, at 10.30pm.
NOTE: Due to a late amendment to BBC Scotland schedules the episode on Spree Killings which was originally billed as the first programme will now transmit later in the series.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
