Hunting Serial Predators: a Multivariate Classification Approach to Profiling Violent Behavior - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book presents classification of serial murderers and their crime scene actions based on empirical studies. The author argues that such an empirical process to analyzing murderous behaviour is necessary to make logical decisions on how to detect and apprehend them, and also introduces Investigative Process Management, which encompasses all applications of psychology that have the objective of improving the investigation of serial murder and crime in general, and the new Facet Model of Serial Murder. Using a statistical approach to profiling, the text uses data drawn from various police sources on the crime scenes of over a hundred American serial killers.
