Review
.,."[E]nough plaudits cannot be ascribed to this work or to Marilyn Peterson. She has bundled the essence of criminal information analysis in a manner that allows analysts, supervisors, managers and executives to fully understand. Appropriately entitled, '...A SOURCEBOOK, ' this volume could easily have been titled - Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Criminal Analysis But Didn't Know What To Ask Or Where To Find It.... The Author both introduces new arrivals to this field, and reinforces for the experienced analysts, an array of methodologies and analytical concepts not found in any other singular writing. To put it most simply, APPLICATIONS IN CRIMINAL ANALYSIS is a prolific piece of work."-INTELSCOPE
