"Criminal Profiling: Principles and Practice provides a compendium of original scientific
research on constructing a criminal profile for crimes that are not readily resolvable
by conventional police investigative methods. Richard N. Kocsis utilizes a distinct
approach referred to as Crime Action Profiling (CAP), a technique that has its foundations
in the disciplinary knowledge of forensic psychology." "Offering a scientifically
grounded method for the construction of a criminal profile, Criminal Profiling: Principles
and Practice provides law enforcement personnel, forensic psychologists and psychiatrists,
criminologists, and forensic investigators with a step-by-step, practical guide for
understanding and applying CAP techniques for the construction of a criminal profile
in a systematic and replicable manner."--Jacket
