Now in its fourth edition, "Criminal Profiling" - winner of a
2013 Texty Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association -
is an established resource centered on the deductive profiling
method developed by the author. With 35% new content, this edition
contains cases in each chapter, along with the latest advances in
evidence-based profiling. Additional information has been added
covering topics such as mass homicide, as well as the timely
inclusion of a chapter on terrorist profiling and interviewing.
Deductive profiling is different from other forms of profiling
in that it does not involve averaged, statistical profiles. Instead
it focuses on criminal profiling as an investigative process,
solving real crime through an honest understanding of the nature
and behavior of criminals. It approaches each criminal incident as
its own universe of behaviors and relationships. Throughout the
text, the author illustrates the most crucial tenet that any good
criminal profiler should adhere to: the enthusiastic desire to
investigate and examine the facts.
"Criminal Profiling, Fourth Edition," is an ideal companion for
students and professionals alike, including investigators, forensic
scientists, criminologists, mental health professionals, and
attorneys. Readers will use it as a comprehensive reference text, a
handbook for evaluating physical evidence, a tool to bring new
perspectives to cold cases, and as an aid in preparing for criminal
trials.
