Review: Well what can I say. This book is well written and very interesting. I for one have had no training or schooling (officialy that is) on sexual predetors or phychology, given this I was still able to understand this book entirely. I have read ten normal books on killers, including nearly all by MrDouglas (Mindhunter started my facination in this field read it if you can) this could have helped my ease at understanding the text, but I feel any layperson could pick this book up, comprehend it and find it facinating. Now the negatives. The book does well to explain what to look for in crime scenes that go together to make a profile, but only scrapes the surface in explaining how to piece these clues together into a profile. This may not have been the authors point of the text but it was the reson why I bought it. So if any one out there can name a book that indead does teach one to put together an actual profile of a person PLEASE tell me what the title is. use my email address :) Over all I lapped up the details that this book offers and felt it was worth the humungas price tag. (please forgive the spelling)
