Overview

The third edition of Profiling Violent Crimes continues to combine social and behavioral theory with practical criminology research to acquaint professionals and students with the general principles of profiling. The author provides a practical approach to assessing violent crimes and outlines crime scene elements which offer insight not only to the type of crime involved but also the person who may have been involved in the commission of such a crime. He argues that profiling should be used as ""yet another forensic tool to complement a thorough investigation"".
