Serial Crime Theoretical and Practical Issues in Behavioral Profiling

The aim of the second edition of "Serial Crime" is to provide a theoretical and practical overview of criminal profiling and serial crime from a critical point of view. This edition will include revised and expanded chapters from the first edition, as well as a number of new chapters covering concepts not seen elsewhere in any of the literature on the subject matter. This includes a chapter detailing a study on metacognition in criminal profiling, research on the investigative relevance of criminal profiling, and a chapter on behavioral consistency and the homology assumption. These additions will help fill the gaps missing from the previous edition. The book offers theoretical and practical overview of criminal profiling and serial crime. It consolidates broadly distributed literature into single source. Offering outstanding scholarship, each chapter is written by an expert in the topic area, with contributions from the U.S., Australia and the U.K.
