5.0 out of 5 starsNot Bad!
By Razor on January 11, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
As someone who has a bachelors degree in psychology, there's actually kind of an academic ambiguity surrounding "Forensic Psychology" that is unfortunately inaccurately informed by movies and pop culture. Outside of the academy I have been exposed to a lot of different books specifically on the topics of Criminal Psychology and Forensic Psychology, and I especially like this one for the following reasons.

* This book is an easy read. It is easily navigated and can be totally completed in two days (tops).

* Each Chapter ends with references that can be accessed for further, more comprehensive reading on any topic.

* The book is surprisingly thorough and will give the reader a basic operational knowledge of the topics listed.

* The research is accurate. I did a significant amount of research in university on stuff like eyewitness testimony, profiling, and pedophilia. There is a lot of stuff floating around out there on these topics, and what I have read in the book was very consistent with what I had encountered in my research (some of it was actually more informative).

Obviously it's part of the "Beginner's Guides" series, but I think it almost perfectly executes its function. One of the few 5 star ratings I have ever given - the thing is literally worth every penny if this is what you're looking for.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery useful overview
By Susan Argall on July 10, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Good introduction to many concepts and thought provoking in regard to the strategies used. It is beneficial to observe the historical and cultural perspectives also. As a person new to the subject it was tailored perfectly for easy comprehension.

I found Criminal Psychology by Ray Bull an excellent book on the subject. Initially, I purchased it as a reference guide, and because I am studying criminal profiling. I read it through in one weekend!

5.0 out of 5 starsVery good introduction to criminal psychology for cursory reading; recommend
By OneFromDayOne on May 20, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
My daughter is interested in forensic psychology. She's a gifted teen. She independently chose to read this book. She's really enjoying it. And she's 13 chronologically, but reads at a 30+ level. A sharp cookie. This book captured her interest immediately. Recommend.

Most definitely a beginners guide. But if that is what you are looking for, then it is great and I do recommend.

All generic information an hour and Google could provide. Shouldn't have purchased the "Buy these three and save" Amazon offered. Well done them for making the sell.

3.0 out of 5 starsIts okay

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
A very standard book with lots of information - though nothing that would exactly make anybody have a spectacular revelation or anything. Simply information
