Description: "Hunting Serial Predators: A Multivariate Classification Approach to Profiling Violent Behavior examines this new method in-depth. It presents a facet classification of serial murderers and their crime scene actions based on empirical and repeatable studies, and argues that such an empirical process to analyzing their behavior is necessary to make logical decisions on how to detect and apprehend them." "With its new, cutting-edge classification system, as well as thorough review of existing models, Hunting Serial Predators helps facilitate significant advances in homicide investigation, etiology, and treatment."--Jacket.
