An insightful book presenting cutting-edge information on the
newest, most remarkable forensic science and methods used for
understanding the criminal mind. Analyzing Criminal Minds: Forensic
Investigative Science for the 21st Century explores new and
emerging approaches to a perennially fascinating subject. Author
Don Jacobs looks at 10 tools and products that have revolutionized
the discipline, explaining how modern criminal mind analysis
incorporates advances in criminal and forensic psychology, forensic
neuropsychology, brain imaging, adolescent neurobiology, criminal
profiling, and brain fingerprinting, as well as research into the
paralimbic brain system and the impact of the "DANE" brain upon
adolescent and young adult behavior. Twenty-three characteristics
shared by jailed violent criminals are analyzed and considered in
terms of neuropsychology and developmental psychology. The book
also probes psychopathy in its various degrees, in children,
adolescents, and adults, and explains a controversial but
increasingly accepted theory that psychopathy is a "natural"
outgrowth of evolution, describing how this "natural" psychopathy
can become a condition typified by violent, sadistic, and
irreversible personality disorder. A foreword by Dwight Adams,
former director at the FBI Lab at Quantico Four current
autobiographical essays from an ongoing, 25-year study of
adolescent behavior Illustrative vignettes from current news, pop
culture, and literature Brain images of midbrain limbic system and
prefrontal regions showing modular and interconnection of chemical
pathways that ignite feelings, thinking, and behavior A glossary of
terms An extensive bibliography
