This book covers some of the basic history and principles of Ivestigative Psychology. For anyone who has a psychology background, but has no knowledge on this topic this book is perfect. However, I felt this book didn't offer any new information. If the reader has read journal articles and done other research on this topic this book is much to elementary! ( )

I was disappointed in the lack of new information, or new interpretations of information on mapping criminal behavior. Maybe I read too much true crime, but there was little of interest for me in this book. The book was published 9 years ago, so perhaps the information was newer and more sparkly when it was first published. ( )
