Summary

Criminals reveal who they are and where they live not just from how they commit their crimes, but also from the locations they choose.  

This is the claim of renowned criminal psychologist and profiler David Canter. In this groundbreaking book, now fully revised and updated, Canter leads us into the labyrinthine psyche of serial killers, rapists, and other violent criminals, and reveals how geographical profiling is changing the way police work and our understanding of the criminal mind.  

From Jack the Ripper to Fred West's house of horror and the recent Suffolk murders, Canter analyzes the geographical maps of killers' actions and the psychological maps of their thoughts to provide a fascinating insight into the most notorious criminals of all time.

A fascinating insight into the geography of crime

The author describes the development and value of geographical profiling in the detection of criminals, particularly violent criminals guilty of murder. He illustrates this through his consideration of such murderers as Jack the Ripper and Feed West.

Fascinating and illuminating, the book provides insights into not just the psychology of these killers, but all humanity.

There is an update, covering developments since the book was first published.

Confusing structure

Maybe this book would be better attempted by reading it - there were too many chapter headings, and going back over material, which made for a confusing read. Where was the editor?

Suprisingly boring.

I am interested in criminal investigation. This book proved uninteresting and spoken in such tones as all I wanted to do was sleep.
