Editorial Reviews
Review
…a gift of genius with immense potential for both 'front-line' criminal investigators and academic criminologists … an illuminating foundation for future research.
-Gregg McCrary, FBI Behavioral Science Unit(retired)
D. Kim Rossmo, has concisely put his numerous years of experience as a law enforcement officer and criminologist into a very important and readable book for fellow practitioners…a leader in the field of geographical profiling for many years…a must read for law enforcement and criminal justice professionals alike.
Crime & Justice International
This is a thoroughly researched and carefully documented book with a bibliography exceeding 65 pages. The bibliography may well be the most extensive in the field, certainly so to this reviewer. For the serious researcher, the book is a 'must have' for the bibliography alone…This book explains the solid foundation on which geographic profiling has helped solve crimes, and includes contact information for qualified geographic profilers the author has trained. An entire chapter is devoted to practical applications of this new technique that address the information management problems presented by many major investigations.
--R. E. (Ron) MacKay, Insp., RCM Police (retired), Canadian Society of Forensic Science, 47th Annual Meeting, 2000
