Description
Kidnapping: An Investigator's Guide to Profiling is based on a three-part analysis of 100 randomly selected kidnapping cases
prosecuted in the United States that have survived Supreme Court appeal. The results of the analysis are incorporated into each chapter
as part of the exploration of the inductive profile of each kidnapping subtype, thereby offering a statistically based tool that can
inform investigative strategies and the allocation of limited resources. The analysis includes standardized input from four levels of
professional law enforcement including a forensic psychologist, a crime analyst, a detective, and a city prosecutor.
In addition to
chapters pertaining to the kidnapping subtypes, an introductory chapter is dedicated to the evolution of U.S. kidnapping law and intervention
strategies, including a review of relevant case law (Megan's Law, Amber Alert). Appendices include a concise summary of all the subtypes
and Tabletop Drills that law enforcement can use to support potential kidnapping victims prepare and better respond to a kidnapping threat.
Audience
Law enforcement, prosecuting attorneys, mental health professionals, ASIS, and undergraduate students in criminal justice
