"This falls under the, "What I learned from this book" option.
A young woman in the Marines, in tip top condition, tall, muscular, the leader in her unit, can be taken down and brutally murdered by a drunk, heavy smoker, lowlife, while she is out jogging. And there are more predators than victims. Always carry a weapon and for God's sakes, know how to use it."
"Crime scene analysis is a fascination of mine, but this guy is a top-notch criminal profiler. He'd walk onto a scene, and based on what he sees, he could profile the murderer down to the height, color of skin, sexuality, and what kind of profession he is in. Amazing!"
"The author brought the practice of profiling to the FBI, refined it and legitimized it. In this memoir he cites cases where the profiling "tools" that he taught other law enforcement agents are put to practice with success. I learned the difference between a perpetrator's MO and signature. I learned the three indicators that are often present singly or together in a serial killer's early life. I learned that computers can't profile. (I also learned that the FBI calls in psychics upon occasion, which really was a disappointment.) Not for the faint of heart. The cases are heart wrenching and brutal. But for anyone interested in serial killers, it's a MUST read."
"I got this book out of curiosity. Once I started to read I was horrified and fascinated all at once. This non-=fiction book shows you some of the ways serial killers are profiled, interviews, and exploration of certain cases. There's a certain morbid fascination that gripped me and pulled me in. This book made me seek out and read the others Mr. Douglas wrote."
