Mapping Murder by David V Canter
David Canter believes the roots of murder can be better understood by careful consideration of the parallels between the criminal's psychological journey and the actual paths he follows. He conducts a meticulous exploration of a number of notorious crimes.
The eminent criminal psychologist and first British 'offender profiler', Professor David Canter, suggests that criminals reveal their identities not just by their methods but also from the chosen locations of their activitiesThis new science of 'geographical profiling' has enabled police throughout the world to solve a number of high-profile cases by revealing what criminals are trying to hide and what their next moves are likely to be. Professor Canter recounts some engrossing stories about well-known murders and rapists and how they were caught. He also writes of his theories about 'marauders and commuters' whose attempts to satisfy their brutal desires lead to their downfall. There are also in-depth studies of mass murderers such as Fred and Rose West and Dennis Nielsen who construct 'spiders' webs' to lure and destroy their victims.
