Offenders
Theory and Practice
Kevin Borgeson, PhD, Salem State College,

Identifying crimes and classifying them as serial

murders is the first step towards determining
who the offender is and what his or her motives
and actions were. Serial Offenders: Theory and
Practice explores the act of criminal profiling and
the effective methods of case analysis and linkage.
Intriguing case studies are used to thoroughly
examine the behavioral aspects of serial homicide
and the investigative issues that criminal justice
professionals face. Readers will learn how to build
hypotheses, construct timelines, and develop suspect
lists. Successful interview and interrogation skills and
methods are also covered.
