Criminal Psychology in Action

“I am very happy to recommend this book, which contains detailed practical advice about how to carry out research projects in criminal psychology. It should appeal particularly to forensic psychology and criminology students, but everyone who is interested criminal behaviour will derive useful information from it.” David Farrington, Cambridge University, UK “David Canter reveals his experience as a seasoned, practicing social scientist by embracing ‘the value of doing science, rather than just reading about it’. The ten fascinating projects in this book encapsulate the lifeblood of crime psychology”. Benjamin Baughman, Cannon University, USA “David Canter’s expertise shines through this book. A good deal of the material – notably the projects on forgery, fraud, and geographical profiling – will, I’m sure, interest crime writers and all those interested in true crime, and perhaps surprise them.” Martin Edwards, Crime writer, former Chair of the Crime Writers Association “This book is great! It poses some interesting and complex ideas while being easy to understand.” Rosie Jacobs, Sixth Form (High School) student, UK “This book is easy to read and provides a lot of useful and easy to understand details of how to carry out projects and make sense of the results. These are things that I had to learn over a period of time, from here and there, that would mostly use maths jargon. Seeing it all in one place makes it significantly easier.” Miraslava Yaneva, MSc student UK
