About this item

"In the book Profilers, John H. Campbell with coeditor Don DeNevi provided a glimpse into the eerie world of the criminal profiling process. Leading investigators, most of them pioneers in developing the profiling process, shared insights gained from years of experience tracking the perpetrators of notorious crimes. In this new volume, Campbell turns to recently published studies by the FBI's National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime and the Behavioral Science Unit to update and expand upon the information provided in the original volume. The contributors to this collection are all noted experts in criminal profiling. Section 1 focuses on the seminal David Meirhofer case, a landmark case for the Behavioral Science Unit and one of the first mysteries solved by profiling. Section 2 examines the use and value of psycholinguistics, criminal "signatures" left at crime scenes, predatory tactics, and the interviews of violent offenders.

This up-to-date compilation of expert articles by veteran investigators is a must-read for readers of true crime, students of criminology, and law enforcement professionals"--  Read more...
