商品簡介
Rossmo (Vancouver police department) examines the spatial patterns produced by the hunting behavior and target locations of serial violent criminals. Hunting behavior refers to victim search and attack processes engaged in by an offender, and target locations are the various geographic sites connected to a crime series. The methodology determines the most likely area of offender residence, while managing the large volume of information typically generated in major crime investigations. The author concludes with case descriptions of some of the most notorious serial killers in America, and the application of geographic profiling to police strategies such as task force management and neighborhood canvasses.
