DIY Offender Profiling

[DarkPassenger]

While I have a decent grasp of offender profiling through years of self-teaching, I would like to take it a bit further. Are there any good books dealing with offender profiling which will help me teach myself offender profiling? I have plenty on general criminal psychology, but none on constructing profiles or understanding crime scenes, behaviour, that kind of thing, specificially.

Any suggestions?

Hi DP

Google search " offender profiling books", there`s a few on the subject there.

Hi DarkPassenger,

You might want to try "Profiling Serial Killers and other crimes in South Africa" by Micki Pistorius. Or any of her other books. I have 3 of her books and they deal with exactly the things you're looking for.

All the best,
Frank
