Among the topics to be covered are: process and outcome studies on the accuracy of various profiling techniques; studies of criminal offenders to assist crime scene investigators and profilers; equivocal death analysis; serial crimes and offenders; legal and ethical issues in criminal profiling; inductive and
deductive profiling techniques; and, common issues that professionals encounter in the field.
Each of the twenty-five chapters and seven appendices are written in a clear and generally concise manner; however, there are some unnecessary redundancies throughout the book as arguments are continually posed in favor of
deductive profiling. The chapters provide a logical progression from a discussion of inductive and
deductive profiling to crime scene reconstruction and to victimology.
