Features: The mission of this book in terms of practice is not only to clarify rape crimes and murder crimes but also to systematically analyze the roots and methods of these crimes. The exploration of violent behavior has led me to view the actions of criminals as shadows projected by their own inner narratives. For cooperative forensic psychologists and detectives, their task is to interpret those criminal shadows. The author of this book is a renowned psychologist in the UK. In this work on investigative psychology, he discusses investigative psychology issues from multiple perspectives based on his own experience in criminal investigations, particularly how to utilize psychological principles for "criminal profiling." The focus of the discussion is on how to psychologically profile suspects of violent crimes based on information obtained from crime scenes, specifically by accurately describing and predicting the family background, occupational characteristics, and personality of the criminals, thereby assisting the police in apprehending suspects. The methods and theories of psychological profiling of suspects discussed in this book are part of internationally advanced research fields and are also effective methods for cracking major and difficult cases. They hold significant guiding importance for the work of law enforcement departments in China.
