There is currently a paradigm shift in criminology towards a cross-disciplinary understanding of behavior. Highlighting this trend, Police and Profiling in the US: Applying Theory to Criminal Investigations combines the experience of a criminal investigator and educator to provide law enforcment professionals with the insight necessary to view events, data, and evidence in the context of contemporary theoretical approaches.

Written in a practical and approachable manner, this general reference and how-to manual gives investigators the ability to combine theory, instinct, and hunches with contemporary technology (including popular social networks such a Facebook and Twitter) to construct a solid criminal profile incorporating criminal investigation and behavior analysis. A unique text that presents criminal profiling based on a sound methodology, the book concludes with scintillating profiles of twelve of the most notorious serial killers.
