Publisher's Synopsis

An excellent supplement for courses across the criminal justice spectrum.

Nineteen contributions by criminal justice experts offer students timely, informed commentary on a variety of criminal investigation topics. In each topic area, an essay introduces the subject, discussing contemporary thinking, historical antecedents, and research. This is followed by carefully-chosen interdisciplinary essays that complement and expand upon the theme. Finally, a case study form a nationally prominent investigation is offered to further illustrate the investigative issue involved. The flow of topics parallels that of leading core texts in criminal investigations. The contemporary focus encompasses such topics as investigative ethics, psychological profiles, offense-specific research, solution methodologies, and offender patterns.
