Offender
Profiling Series
Profiling
in Policy and Practice
Edited by David Canter & Laurence Alison (1999)
Analyzing the system of offender profiling, this
book takes into consideration the quality and validity of the information
on which police base their decisions, assessing the possibilities for
detecting deception. The consistencies of a criminal's behaviour are
also studied, with a look at the differences between one offender and
another. Other questions asked include what form such groups take and
the influence they have on trhe criminal's actions, the role of leaders
in crimes or the socio-cultural processes of which they are a part.
There are also imortant issues about the implications and use of any
answers that may emerge from scientific studies of crimes and their
investigation.
