Description:
Criminal Profiling is a unique work centered on the deductive profiling
method developed by the author and motivated by the limited knowledge
available regarding the criminal profiling process. Deductive profiling
is different from other forms of profiling in that 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 and emphasizes the most crucial
tenet that any good criminal profiler should adhere to: the enthusiastic
desire to investigate and examine the facts.
This Second Edition contains the same core knowledge that made the first
edition a best-seller while introducing a wealth of new material. This
expanded and thoroughly revised edition includes a completely new set
of case studies including the Sam Sheppard trial. New chapters include
expanded coverage on false reports, psychological autopsies, criminal
profiling in court, stalking, domestic homicide, sexual asphyxia, and
staged crime scenes.
Contributors include: John J. Baeza, Eoghan Casey, W. Jerry Chisum, Dana
S. La Fon, Michael McGrath, Wayne Petherick.
