"Criminal Profiling: An Introduction to Behavioral Evidence Analysis, is a unique work centered on the deductive profiling method developed by the author, and motivated by the lack of general knowledge regarding the criminal profiling process. Deductive profiling is different from other forms of profiling because it centers the process on forensic evidence, and does not involve the use of averaged statistical profiles. It approaches each criminal incident as its own universe of behaviors and relationships." "Criminal Profiling includes a thorough rendering of the features of the deductive profiling method, an overview of the legal aspects involved in profiling, and an explanation into specific profiling issues that arise in different types of serial crime. It also includes the author's unique analysis of the Whitechapel murders in 1888 and the JonBenet Ramsey case.".

"This book is a perfect companion for students and professionals in the law enforcement, mental health, criminological and legal communities."--BOOK JACKET.
