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. * Provides a theoretical and practical foundation for understanding
the motivation and dynamics in a range of serial offenses * Illustrates the promise,
purposes and pitfalls of behavioral profiling in the investigation of various serial
crimes * Numerous case examples show the real world uses of behavioral profiling in
investigations, as well as highlighting a variety of issues in understanding and investigating
serial crime
