Offender profiling is now viewed as an integral part of serious
crime investigations by many law enforcement agencies across the
world and continues to attract a high public and media profile.
Despite almost three decades of research and developments in the
field, the public impression of offender profiling is still
influenced by misleading media portrayals, which fail to
acknowledge the significant developments in theory, research and
practice. This book is the only book on the market to illustrate in
detail the actual practice of Behavioural Investigative Advice, its
diversity in application, the underpinning academic literature and
the remaining research questions and recommendations. Focussing on
the professionalization of this developing discipline, it provides
a fascinating insight into the modern role of a Behavioural
Investigative Adviser, dispelling many of the myths still
associated with offender profiling, and illustrating the continued
aspiration of contemporary practitioners to adhere to the highest
scientific standards. It provides a journey through the significant
efforts to professionalise both the process and product of
Behavioural Investigative Advice, supported by relevant
theoretical, methodological and operational considerations. Edited
by and containing contributions from some of the most respected and
experienced researchers and practitioners working today, this book
will be essential reading for Police Officers, researchers,
students and anyone with an interest in the professionalization and
contemporary contribution of forensic psychology to 21st century
criminal investigation.
