Product Description

Product Description
Rape, serial murder, satanic and ritualistic crimes are considered in this book which provides a practical approach to assessing violent crimes and outlines crime scene elements which offer insight not only into the type of crime involved but also into the type of person who may be involved in committing such a crime. The author combines social and behavioural theory with practical criminology research. He argues that profiling should be used as a forensic tool to compliment a thorough investigation.

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.
