Presented from the perspectives of a former FBI profiler and a
forensic violence-risk expert, Profiling Violent Crime: A
Behavioral and Forensic Approach educates readers about the nature
of criminal profiling including how it works, the techniques it
draws on, the types of offenders it applies to, and the
psychological make-ups of those offenders. Drawing from technique,
as well as from theory and the latest clinical research, Profiling
Violent Crime delves into precisely what it means to profile.
Students learn what it's like to be on the ground as an FBI
profiler, dispelling myths and detailing the actual process.
Subsequent chapters detail crime scene analysis; determination of
the type of offender that may be at work; the fascinating interplay
between mental illness and criminality; and breakdowns of the
various types of criminal offenders including stalkers, murderers,
rapists, mass murderers, and serial killers. The book also offers
multiple real-life case examples to shed light further into the
criminal mind. Rooted in the authors' personal experience in law
enforcement and forensic psychology Profiling Violent Crime is an
excellent text for courses in criminal justice, psychological
profiling, and forensic psychology. It provides readers with real,
intimate insight into criminal profiling, addressing its strengths
and drawbacks, as well as offering a glimpse of where this crucial
field has yet to go.
