Interested in criminal profiling?There has been a general fascination with criminal profiling since it became all the hype in the past two decades. The popularity of television shows such as Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and Profiler in the 1990s, Criminal Minds from 2005, and the hugely popular 1991 cult film The Silence of the Lambs propelled behavioral analysis into the limelight.Want to know how criminal profiling works?This book explains how criminal profiling techniques, despite some well-deserved criticism, can be a valuable tool, a cog in the larger wheel of the overall criminal investigation, if applied correctly. It reveals aspects about a likely offender that makes it easier to predict his personality and behavior, thereby limiting the suspect pool and guiding the criminal investigative team.Want to read fascinating real-life cases?Read how the FBI and Investigative Psychology models developed on the foundations laid by the earlier pioneers of behavioral science. The principles and methods of both models are explored and illustrated at the hand of multiple case studies that include the “Mad Bomber”, Ted Bundy, Aileen Wuornos, and the “Vampire of Sacramento.” The concept of geographical profiling is also explored and underlying psychosocial and biological theories of criminal behavior explained.About the authorJOAN SWART is a Forensic Psychologist, who completed her doctorate at the Eisner Institute for Professional Studies based in Encino, CA.
