Description

Is there such a thing as a criminal type? Are criminals born genetically predisposed to commit crimes, or are they fashioned by their circumstances? Physicians, psychologists and criminologists have been asking these questions for many centuries, without finding a definitive answer. Criminal Profiling is packed with intriguing case histories that demonstrate the variety, sophistication and effectiveness of criminal profiling. The book includes chapters on the search for the criminal personality, early criminal profiling and the latest theories of criminality, and features the stories of Ted Bundy, Peter Sutcliffe and Andrei Chikatilo, among many others. Illustrated with 200 colour and black-and-white photographs, Criminal Profiling is a wide-ranging, authoritative history of this fascinating subject, from the first efforts at physical profiling to today’s computer-generated geographic mapping techniques.

If you watch "Criminal Minds", you are familiar with the concept of criminal profiling. This book not only covers profiling, but also the history and those who changed the guidelines to what it is today. You will go into a deep-dive of famous crimes and lesser-known crimes and how their profiles matched the perpetrators. I had a hard time putting this book down, it was very informational and intriguing! I can definitely say that I know so much more and I look forward to future publications from these authors!
