Description
Drawing on decades of experience as an FBI criminal profiler, the author examines some of the most notorious crimes and elusive predators of the modern era. From the O.J. Simpson case and the Unabomber to the assassination of John Lennon and the Waco tragedy, he explores how behavioral science can illuminate criminal motives, identify suspects, and help prevent future violence. Alongside chilling cases involving serial and child killers, the book considers broader questions of rehabilitation, crime prevention, and the roots of escalating brutality in society. Clear-eyed, investigative, and psychologically astute, it offers a compelling look into the minds behind headline-making crimes and the methods used to pursue them.
