Description
Serial Crime: Theoretical and Practical Issues in Behavioral Profiling examines serial predatory behavior and is comprised of
two main parts. The first section deals with behavioral profiling, and covers a variety of critical issues from profiling's history and
the theoretical schools of thought to its treatment in the mainstream media. The second edition includes new sections on the problems
of induction, metacognition in criminal profiling and investigative relevance. Part two deals more specifically with a number of types
of serial crime including stalking, rape, murder and arson. Chapters on each of these crimes provide definitions and thresholds, discussion
of the offenders, the crime and its dynamics. Considerations for behavioral profiling and investigations and the development of new paradigms
in each area are interwoven throughout. Topics are conceptually and practically related since profiling has typically seen most application
in serial crimes and similar investigations.
The unique presentation of the book successfully connects the concepts and creates
links to criminal behavior across crimes?murder, sexual assault, and arson?something no other title does. The connection of serial behavior
to profiling, the most useful tool in discovering behavior patterns, is also new to the body of literature available and serves to examine
the ideal manner in which profiling can be used in conjunction with behavioral science to positively affect criminal investigations.
