Criminal Minds - The Science and Psychology of Profiling
by David Owen
On This Page
Description
Often with only the slightest clues to go on, criminal profilers are under huge pressure to apprehend violent killers and rapists in the shortest possible time, before they attack or kill again. This text explores the application of psychology to forensic science and to crime, and its relevance to our lives and to society today.Tags

This would be a good "Coffee Table Book" - an introduction to the criminal mind and profiling. It's presented with photos and captions that will get the attention of the reader. The chapters are short and you're able to move quickly from one case study to another.
