Summary

Investigative Psychology is the first academic text for this new strand of psychological science. Throughout, the book is structured according to the operational challenges the research informs. Topics include questions about suspects, linking offences to a common offender, locating an offenders likely home base, and predicting where and when the next offence will be committed. It also provides a comprehensive commentary on the processes central to the effective investigation and successful prosecution of crime.
