Profiling Violent Crimes: An Investigative Tool

Rating:
Summary: Good, well-written, but lacks depth
Review: The author's writing style keeps the book lively for a text book. The examples are interesting and well chosen. However, only the most common types of violent offenders are discussed and those discussions lack depth. Most topics are addressed only superficially. Therefore, I recommend this book as a nice overview but not for research or other purposes.
