The book gives a good basic overview of the field of criminal and behavioural profiling. The text is very accessible and should be ok to read even for non-native English readers. I would not hesitate to use this book at our university of applied sciences or at a university in the Netherland.
The development of the field is described along historical lines and works towards the current way that theory, research and practice are still evolving. It’s very much a relatively young discipline and not without it’s controversies. These and different schools of thought within the field are well presented in the book. The book is a very nice and concise introduction into the field of criminal and behavioural profiling. -- Mr Pepijn van Amersfoort * drupal *
Used a lot of the information for the topic of offender profiling and have recommended the book to the students if they want to take this topic further in their final year dissertations. -- Ms Allison Savory * drupal *
Theoretical and practical approaches to criminal and behavioural profiling are presented in a way that is both engaging and interesting. The use of real life case studies brings the subject alive. Key concepts are addressed in a clear and methodological manner. -- Ms Diane Jones * drupal *
Very good text. up-to-date and includes an international perspective -- Ms Jan Nicholson * drupal *
