Synopsis

The Third Edition is a thorough revision, as is appropriate in such a fast-moving field. New chapters cover criminal behavior theories and psychological profiling; autoerotic deaths; occult crimes; plus two new chapters detailing two infamous unsolved crimes: Jack the Ripper and the Jon Benet Ramsay case. The authors continuing research and activities in the field result in new case studies for the book, often as boxed inserts.
