MAPPING MURDER The Secrets of Geographical Profiling

Hardback. 'Criminals reveal who they are and where they live not just from how they commit their crimes but also from the locations they choose.' This is the claim of the author, a renowned criminal psychologist and profiler. In his ground breaking book he leads us through the labyrinthine psyches of serial killers, rapists and other violent men, revealing previously unpublished detailed studies of criminals' mental maps. He throws new light on cases that have baffled and shocked generations. For the first time outside the pages of academic journals the secrets behind geographical profiling are revealed. Read how : The application of his technique to contentious cases such as Jack the Ripper and the murder of Jill Dando raises new questions. The killings committed by Fred and Rose West are seen in a new perspective when we examine the inner map of Fred West in his memoir - revealed in detail here for the first time. The computerised investigations of the future will be searching cyberspace for violent criminals much as they patrol the streets today. The author lifts the lid on geographical profiling, explaining how this new approach to solving crimes is changing both the way police work and our understanding of the criminal mind.
