Product Description
Offender profiling is one of the most important investigative tools in today's world. Nonetheless, it often represents a less than educated attempt to provide law enforcement agencies with detailed information about the behavior of an unknown individual who has committed a crime. This book introduces alternative approaches to improving the way crimes are investigated and offender profiles are generated. It shows forensic evidence experts how to work with profilers to combine discrete data into a more meaningful picture. Written in a format that is simple and straightforward, it utilizes actual case studies to show how specific procedures relate to police investigations.
