The popularity of television shows and movies like Profiler, CSI, and The Silence of the Lambs has made the concept of criminal profiling familiar to most Americans.

Among the subjects discussed are:
-dealing with hostage situations -child abduction and murder in the David Meirhofer case -interviewing Jeffrey Dahmer -autoerotic murder -the challenges of creating psychological profiles -the use of forensic linguistics to track the Unabomber -assaultative eye injury ("enucleation") -geographic profiling A must for readers of true crime, forensic investigations, and murder mysteries, this unique collection of revealing articles offers a chilling and unparalleled glimpse into the workings of the criminal mind.
