Author Description

Criminal profiling has become a popular and often controversial practice, spawning countless books and television programs. Different from other books, which focus on complicated statistical analyses only a specialist can derive, Practical Criminal Investigative Analysis: Offender Profiling for Criminal and Civil Investigations delivers what the title promises. With a constant focus on apprehending the perpetrator, it shows step by step how to assess physical evidence, reduce the number of suspects, and determine motivation in both violent and non-violent crimes. With numerous photographs and case studies, this book places the profiling technique within the "tool box" of every investigator.
