...[I]t's great to see the topic of profiling not only present but broken down in a way that can be understood by undergraduate students. Michelle Rippy, California State University - East Bay The overall presentation of material, with a distinct separation of practical investigative skills (Section I) from cases (Section II), is an excellent approach to teaching the overall subject of criminal investigation. The active learning exercises are well developed and applied at key points in each chapter. That, in conjunction with content that is accurate and well supported, makes this text a valuable teaching and reference tool. Frank Dufon, University of West Florida (retired) [C]oncise, readable, and teachable. Monica Hack-Polkosnik, Herkimer College

Author Information
G. W. Hildebrand draws upon decades of investigative experience as a state police officer and Texas Ranger. Having worked, analyzed, assisted at, or studied over 3,000 violent crime scenes in a 40-year career, he has gained specialized insight into criminal behavior and investigative principles and techniques as they apply to real-world circumstances. His extensive experience as a full fellow in the International Criminal Investigative Analysis Fellowship (ICIAF) and training with the FBI Behavioral Science Unit add a unique dimension to this book. As an instructor and department chair in a large community college, Prof. Hildebrand is well acquainted with what students need to be engaged in this topic and to grasp the material more readily. He developed, implemented, and maintains one of the best Academic Police Academy programs in his state, and has oversight and training responsibilities of students who qualify to sit for state law enforcement licensing examinations. His approach to crime solutions involves a combination of forensic evidence, criminal behavioral analysis, and various investigative techniques.
