Editorial Reviews

Review
"A very useful guide for any professional involved in the investigation or litigation of major felonies. Classification of the elements of crime will facilitate the conduct of criminal investigations and resolution of cases." (Richard L. Goldberg, M.D., Georgetown University Hospital)

"The very first book by and for criminal justice professionals in the major case fields . . . . The skills, techniques, and proactive approaches offered are creatively concrete and worthy of replication across the country. . . Heartily recommanded for those working in the 'front line' of major case investigation." (John B. Rabun, Jr., ACSW, vice president and chief operating officer, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children)

Product Description
Leads to an increased understanding of the nature of crimes and the individuals who commit themBased on the primary intent of the criminal, the Crime Classification Manual leads to an increased understanding of the nature of crime and of the individuals who commit such crimes. This is an indispensable reference for anyone whose work brings them into contact with either the offAnder or victim of violent crime.

The Crime Classification Manual:

  • standardizes terminology within the criminal justice field
  • facilitates communication within the criminal justice field and between criminal justice and mental health
  • develops a data base for investigative research

A decade in development, this work forms the basis of contemporary investigative profiling, the highly acclaimed strategy in which crimes are solved by generating a profile of the suspect. This best-selling manual provides law enforcement and mental health professionals access to the same information used by the FBI to coordinate their investigations.

Also available is the Pocket Guide to the Crime Classification Manual, which presents in handy outline form the data in the main volume and serves as a quick in-the-field reference tool.
