Understanding Criminal Profiles in Twenty-First Century America

Understanding Criminal Profiles in 21st Century America is unique because its current perspectives are laced in the documented realities of reliable scholars, robust data, and the experiences of justice practitioners. Its topics are consumed in the realities of criminology and profiling, and are often compared with the realities of the social media including television performances. This book will satisfy scholars, students, and practitioners who favor practical recommendations because its narratives are from the impressions of colleagues, front-line personnel, and offenders. One mission of the writer is to enable an open minded reader to think for himself or herself, to understand, to imagine, to reflect, and to exercise good judgement when thinking about the principle issues related to the American criminal justice system. The topics reflect notions about why violent behavior is committed by some and not others, how it can be better controlled, and how to prevent it.
