Boston College Connell School of Nursing Professor Ann Burgess is a trailblazing forensic and psychiatric nurse who has worked with the FBI and helped pioneer the criminal profiling of serial killers. A new book, Expert Witness: The Weight of Our Testimony When Justice Hangs in the Balance (Grand Central Publishing, 2025), delves into her role as a trauma expert in some of the biggest criminal court cases in the last 30 years. Written by Burgess and CSON Associate Director of Marketing and Communications Steven Matthew Constantine, Expert Witness takes readers from the women’s movement of the 1970s to the #MeToo movement of the 21st century to capture how revolutionary one voice can be. Publishers Weekly called Expert Witness a “fascinating memoir.” Burgess and Constantine previously collaborated on the book A Killer by Design, which inspired the Hulu docuseries “Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer.”
