Ramsland, Katherine M. The Forensic Psychology of Criminal Minds. New York: Berkley Boulevard, 2010. Print.
This book talks about the reality of forensic psychology as not seen on TV. The book covers many different aspects of forensic psychology starting with the history of criminal profiling and building up from there to how to even go about developing a profile and how to use that profile on different types of crimes. Some other topics that are covered include negotiation techniques, profiling on trial and profiling abroad and what to expect in the future from criminal profiling.
This is probably my best source for my project. It is very informational and really helped clarify criminal profiling. The book went into depth about some reasons or motives behind some of these killers, which is why I'm doing my project on criminal profiling in the first place. The book also contains many different case studies done on individuals that I found rather intriguing.
