Product Description

Review

DEEPLY FASCINATING. CANTER SURPASSES STEPHEN HAWKING IN MAKING A DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX SCIENCE ACCESSIBLE TO THE LAYPERSON' MINETTE WALTERS 'Criminals reveal who they are and where they live not just from how they commit their crimes but also from the locations they choose.' David Canter. 'David Canter is the most eminent guide one could wish for in this difficult and serious subject' Brian Masters, author of Killing for Company and She Must Have Known


Product Description

In his groundbreaking study, renowned criminal psychologist and profiler David Canter lifts the lid on geographical profiling and takes us on the murderer's journey in both the psychological and literal sense. He leads us through the labyrinthine psyches of serial killers, rapists and other violent criminals, conducting a meticulous and fascinating exploration into the twisted logic of men whose crimes have shocked the world. Mapping Murder unravels the complexities of contentious cases such as the Jack the Ripper killings and Jill Dando's murder. Detailing the 'marauders and commuters' theory, Carter explains how the devious attempts of killers to satisfy their brutal desires led to their capture and explains how murderers like Fred West constructed 'spiders' webs' to lure and then destroy victims. David Canter explains how this new approach to solving crimes is changing both the way police think and work, and out understanding of the criminal mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars A genuine expert - a breath of fresh air, 10 April 2007
By D. Wilson "The Great Sceptic" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Unlike some self-styled experts, David Cantor really knows his stuff. He writes with the voice of authenticity borne of genuine expertise. This is a man who has devoted his life to the study and undxerstanding of the human mind and who puts his expertise to good used in the service of truth and the advancement of human knowledge.

1.0 out of 5 stars We'll never catch serial killers at this rate..., 4 Jan 2009
By Maryon Jeane "maryonjeane" (Shropshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you have to read this book for a course, then you have my sympathy and, for a couple of quid, you can have my copy; if you don't have to read this book, save your time and money.

So that you may save the said time and money, this is what the book is about: David Cantor and how brilliant he is; how it should be possible to catch serial killers by mapping the locations of their kills and body dumps; David Cantor's personal prejudices; how, if serial killers kill and dump near their homes, it should be possible to find where they live; David Cantor's other writings and how brilliant they are; if serial killers don't kill and dump near their homes, how it should be possible to find where they live; David Cantor's invaluable help (as he tells it) to the rather dim-witted police; if serial killers travel long distances to kill and dump, how it should be possible to find where they don't live; David Cantor's contempt for databases, particularly police databases; David Cantor's brilliance...

Of course geographical mapping has a place in offender profiling. I suspect one or two other people have discovered this before David Cantor. It doesn't take a prolix and somewhat over-jargoned piece of writing like this to say how and why geographical mapping has a place in offender profiling.

This book is also irritating in that it is not particularly well proofed, which adds to the irritation caused by the constant intrusion of David Cantor into what there is of seasoned argument and narrative.

If I've saved you the time and money, my purchase and reading of this book hasn't been a complete waste of life.
