Summary
Criminals reveal who they are and where they live not just from how they commit their crimes, but also from the locations they choose.
This is the claim of renowned criminal psychologist and profiler David Canter. In this groundbreaking book, now fully revised and updated, Canter leads us into the labyrinthine psyche of serial killers, rapists, and other violent criminals, and reveals how geographical profiling is changing the way police work and our understanding of the criminal mind.
From Jack the Ripper to Fred West's house of horror and the recent Suffolk murders, Canter analyzes the geographical maps of killers' actions and the psychological maps of their thoughts to provide a fascinating insight into the most notorious criminals of all time.

A fascinating insight into the geography of crime
The author describes the development and value of geographical profiling in the detection of criminals, particularly violent criminals guilty of murder. He illustrates this through his consideration of such murderers as Jack the Ripper and Feed West.
Fascinating and illuminating, the book provides insights into not just the psychology of these killers, but all humanity.
There is an update, covering developments since the book was first published.

Generally excellent
Not quite what I was expecting, but found it excellent once I was used to the concept and the slightly grating tone of the narrator.
Written before 2007 with an added 2007 epilogue, it is outdated in some ways, but general points about concepts and famous cases remain valid.
Also interesting how on the Jack the Ripper case, and how it didn’t include the more recently attributed Martha Tabram murder (using geographical profiling), but basically pinpoints the location to where her house was, which would make sense if she was the first victim. But also therefore suggests the diary he refers to was forged.

Confusing structure
Maybe this book would be better attempted by reading it - there were too many chapter headings, and going back over material, which made for a confusing read. Where was the editor?

Awfully dramatic narrator
It was a bit boring really and I don’t like it when the authors go on about how brilliant they are…. Yawn!

Suprisingly boring.
I am interested in criminal investigation. This book proved uninteresting and spoken in such tones as all I wanted to do was sleep.
