- Full title :Criminal profiling : developing an effective science and practice / Scotia J. Hicks, Bruce D. Sales.
Summary
This book aims to transform criminal profiling into a credible science and practice that will reliably aid law enforcement investigation. [It] critiques the state of criminal profiling today and finds the practice of criminal profiling to be an art more than an established science, lacking clear links among crime scene evidence and offender motives, personality, and behavior. With no firm scientific basis for their judgments, profilers differ in their conclusions and recommendations, rendering profiling problematic as a law enforcement tool.-Dust jacket.
