California State University, Fresno criminology professor Dr. Eric Hickey’s upcoming television series, “Predators,” will be featured today (April 6) on CourtTV’s “Catherine Crier Live.”
Airing at 2 p.m. PST, the entire show will be devoted to Hickey’s series. He is being interviewed live via satellite link from the KFSN-TV studios in Fresno.
Hosted by Denise Brown, “Predators” seeks to expose predators, empower victims and inform viewers how to avoid becoming victims themselves, said Jo Gillett, executive producer of Gambaru Productions, Inc.
“So many shows dramatize, investigate, explore, sensationalize crime but our show will do something to prevent crime,” Gillett said. “Viewers need this show on the air and we look forward to making it available to everyone.”
Hickey, world-renowned criminologist and psychologist who joined Fresno State’s criminology faculty in 1990, dissects the criminal mind and explores the complexities of the modern day predator in the series.
From serial killers to cyber-stalkers, pedophiles to kids who kill, “Predators” uncovers the intricate world of these criminals.
The show includes actual footage of real-life crimes, dramatic reenactments, undercover surveillance, and survivor / predator confrontations. It features input from leading experts in criminology, surveillance and law-enforcement.
Gillett said Gambaru Productions is working on a distribution deal with major networks for “Predators.”
Gambaru Productions, co-founded by Hickey, consists of seasoned industry professionals and experts in the fields of criminology and social behavior.
Brown, sister of the late Nicole Simpson, is a leading advocate for victims of domestic violence.
Hickey’s expertise in criminal psychology is regularly sought by international and national media, law enforcement and private agencies. He has vast field experience working with the criminally insane, sex offenders and habitual criminals and is internationally known for his research on multiple homicide offenders.
Hickey has published books and numerous articles and has lectured extensively on the causes of violence and serial crime. His book, “Serial Murderers and Their Victims” is used in college and university courses and by law-enforcement officials in studying the nature of violence, criminal personalities and victim-offender relationships.
