The second part uncovers the results of the Birmingham Study of Sexual Murderers， including research on the typology of sexual murderers. The third part covers a range of practical issues such as the role of profiling in investigation， and psychotherapeutic issues.This resource is integral reading for academics and researchers in criminology， psychiatry and psychology， as well as professionals directly involved in criminal justice - police， lawyers and psychologists. 作者简介：Jean Proulx is Professor and Director of the School of Criminology at the University of Montreal， and Researcher at the International centre of Comparative Criminology of that university.
