Books - SEXUAL HOMICIDE: PATTERNS AND MOTIVES - PAPERBACK SEXUAL HOMICIDE: PATTERNS AND MOTIVES - PAPERBACK By Robert Ressler, John Douglas, Ann Burgess Publisher: Free Press (June, 1995) Edition: Paperback List Price: $25.00 Our Price: $25.00 (Amazon.com) Amazon.com sales rank: 50020 Customer Review #1 Rating: 5 Summary: Great Read! Comment: From one of the guys at the FBI Behavioral Science Unit comes the results of a massive study the FBI did on sexual offenders. It does offer a lot of research data which can always be dry, but it also offers myriad of examples to personalize the data and make it more informative for everyone. I found it very enlightening since there are very few studies that have been able to do this kind of comparative research on a problem that is so prevalent. Customer Review #2 Rating: 5 Summary: Useful--even for a non-law enforcement reader Comment: This book is a well-organized collection of information. I have no background in law enforcement, criminal justice or even psychology. Yet, I understood it well. Anyone interested in taking the time to understand in some depth how these criminals think and act would learn a great deal. It really illustrates the development of criminal profiling techniques. The book is broken into sections, each of which is broken into chapters. It is written by a group of people, including: Robert Ressler (FBI), John Douglas (FBI), Anne Burgess (nurse/researcher), a medical examiner. Customer Review #3 Rating: 5 Summary: The Best Book on Profiling Comment: As a crime writer (First Kill, The Girl By The Lake), I collect hundreds of books on crime. This one ranks amongts the best in my collection. Although a little dated (1988), it's a classic and provides a very solid foundation into profiling and deviant sexual behaviour and murder. There is a incredibly useful chapter (if you're a crime writer or a detective)that takes you right into the mind of a crime-scene analyst and what steps are covered to figure out who the pedetrator is. A must for any student of abnormal psychology, people involved with violent crimes and crime writers alike. Highly commended.
