In Criminal Profiling, renowned profiler Richard Kocsis, PhD, presents a distinct approach to profiling, Crime Action Profiling or CAP. The volume explains the scope and methodology employed in the studies that the author has undertaken over the past decade and a half. CAP adopts the view that profiling essentially represents a psychological technique that has its foundations in the disciplinary knowledge of forensic psychology. The studies canvassed throughout this book represent the author’s original, empirically based work on the topic of criminal profiling. This volume brings the results of his work together for the first time to provide a comprehensive compendium of the research endeavors that characterize the CAP approach to the profiling of violent crimes. Written clearly and succinctly, Criminal Profiling will be accessible to the intelligent lay person as well as personnel engaged in the legal, law enforcement and criminal justice fields. This volume is certain to become an essential reference for forensic scientists, consultant forensic psychologists, and students.
