Description

Offender profiling has become an integral part of serious crime investigations worldwide. However, the public's perception is often influenced by misleading media portrayals that fail to acknowledge significant developments in theory and practice. This book provides a detailed insight into the actual practice of Behavioural Investigative Advice, its diversity in application, and the underpinning academic literature. It focuses on the professionalization of this developing discipline, dispelling myths associated with offender profiling, and illustrating the aspiration of contemporary practitioners to adhere to high scientific standards. Edited by leading researchers and practitioners, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of the significant efforts to professionalize Behavioural Investigative Advice, supported by theoretical, methodological, and operational considerations. It is essential reading for Police Officers, researchers, students, and anyone interested in forensic psychology's contribution to 21st-century criminal investigation.
