Investigative Psychology

Investigative Psychology is the first academic text for this new strand of psychological science. Drawing upon twenty years of research studies, professional reports, and unpublished material, the book has been structured according to the operational challenges presented by research. Topics include questions about suspects, linking offenses to a common offender, locating an offender''s likely home base, and predicting where and when the next offense will be committed. It also provides a comprehensive commentary on the processes central to the effective investigation and successful prosecution of crime.
