Product Description

Product Description
The Third Edition is a thorough revision, as is appropriate in such a fast-moving field. New chapters cover criminal behavior theories and psychological profiling; autoerotic deaths; occult crimes; plus two new chapters detailing two infamous unsolved crimes: Jack the Ripper and the Jon Benet Ramsay case. The authors continuing research and activities in the field result in new case studies for the book, often as boxed inserts.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute necessity, 12 Jul 2009
By Daniel Wa Johnson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have had an interest in criminal psychology, and offender profiling both as a hobby and as an academic pursuit (I am currently completing a psychology degree which I will follow with a masters in forensic psychology), and I wanted an authoritative text on the esoteric art of profiling to broaden my knowledge.
This book was worth every penny I paid - it is an absolute must for anyone interested in criminal psychology or profiling. With chapters on serial killers, rape, arson, cultism, geographic profiling and theories of crime and criminality, it is exhaustive and brilliantly structured and written. It is definately worth every penny - buy it.
