His expert commentary frequently appears in The New York Times, Huffington Post, Psychology Today and other major national and international news outlets. 

Author

Doc Bonn is a prolific author and blogger.  His book on the public’s intense interest in serial killers titled, “Why We Love Serial Killers” was published by Skyhorse Press in October 2014.  The foreword was written by journalist and author, Diane Dimond.

Emmy-winning TV host and best-selling author, Rita Cosby, says this about Dr. Bonn's best-selling book:

"Considered one of the world's top experts on criminal behavior, Scott Bonn has delivered a book which is so powerful and provocative, you cannot put it down. Indeed, through his diligent work and unparalleled access to these infamous killers who've committed some of the most horrific crimes of our day, he provides chilling and critical insight into these deviant and pathological criminal minds… and reveals the truth behind the headlines."

He is the author of “Mass Deception: Panic and the U.S. War on Iraq,” the critically acclaimed book on propaganda and war crime from Rutgers University Press (2010). Using quantitative analysis of public opinion polls and presidential rhetoric (direct quotes) pre- and post-9/11 in the news media, Doc Bonn applies the controversial moral panic concept to the Iraq war. He critiques the war and occupation of Iraq as violations of domestic and international law.
