About this listen

 How do you deal with those that break the law? If their aim is to evade you, how do you identify them? If their aim is to lie, how do you interview them? If they don't see their actions are wrong, how do you help them to successfully reform? Criminal psychology is the discipline which tackles these challenges head on. From the signals which give away when we’re lying to the psychological profiling of violent offenders, this exhaustive guide, written by the UK’s top experts, is the perfect introduction.©2006 R.H. Bull, Charlotte Bilby, Claire Cooke, Tim Grant, Ruth Hatcher & Jessica Woodhams (1st Edn) (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Criminal & Forensic Psychology Social Psychology & Interactions True Crime Criminal Psychologist

Editor reviews

Pop culture is obsessed with criminal psychology - film, television, and literature is replete with examples of heroes and heroines attempting to get into the mind of a criminal. But criminal psychology is more complicated than that, and this volume, composed by a slate of experts, attempts to explain this fascinating science to the layperson, with an intrepid, character-filled narration from Richard Aspel making for a compelling listen. Taking listeners from investigative skills like profiling and policing, to courtroom issues like eyewitness testimony, and even stepping into a criminal's shoes to discuss the experience of imprisonment, this diverse collection provides a well-rounded and totally engrossing overview of criminal psychology.

"A fascinating introduction with a wealth of scientific facts and real-world examples." (Makiko Naka, Professor of Psychology, Hokkaido University, Japan)

Very superficial

Even for a beginner, the book is too superficial. When making a point, the author often spouts statistics instead of talking through the point; there is very little in the way of case studies. This makes it hard to connect with what's being said. I could say more, but I feel this short, unsubstantiated review befits the book better.
