Not really an Article per se as a noteworthy compilation of the various texts which I have thrown together this morning. You’ll note, if you are of a mind to do so, that they range from critical and analytical texts to memoirs of the ‘Who’s Who’ of Criminal Profiling. I’ll be doing my own separate reviews as I get around to them, in the meantime feel free to post one yourself. Most of you will have already read or familiarized yourself to some degree with writers like John Douglas and Robert Ressler, but what about…
G.H. Gudjonsson and L. Haward? If you haven’t then now is as good a time as any to get acquainted with them. Their text entitled simply ‘Forensic Psychology’ boasts the priviledge of being the first “practicle and comprehensive guide to the practice of forensic psychology.” If all else fails its definitely a good start. Make note also of Mr David Canter. If you haven’t been reading Canter then you haven’t been reading. He’s in the process of publishing a series on Offender Profiling through Ashgate. So, my new found friends, for your reading pleasure…..
