Related Titles
One of the few texts that really provides a comprehensive understanding of the many facets of this field of study. My only complaint is the Instructor Resources are outdated and much does not match many of the significant changes in the 5th Edition. I would give this 5 stars otherwise.
I will be teaching an undergraduate level crime profiling course in wintermester semester in between Fall and Spring. I want to use this book.
