Summary:

"In this book, two eminent scholars, both active in clinical and research work, grapple with the timely topic of criminal profiling. Their purpose in writing their very comprehensive and objective book is to attempt to separate myth from reality, the wheat from the chaft. The book stands on firm psychological psychiatric foundations as the basis for offender typologies."--BOOK JACKET.
