Description
|
This is the second edition of the landmark book that standardized for the first time the language, terminology, and classifications used throughout the criminal justice system. The Crime Classification Manual has been an indispensable guide for law enforcement, criminal lawyers, criminologists, forensic psychologists, and sociologists since its publication in 1992. As one reviewer on Amazon aptly stated, the Crime Classification Manual is to the criminal justice profession as the DSM-IV is to the psychology/psychiatry profession.
The new revised and updated edition contains new classifications on stalking and child abduction, the use of biological weapons, suicide bombings, cyber crimes, burglary and rape, homicidal poisoning, and sexual homicide of the elderly. In addition, many of the case studies, appendices, and crime scene analysis are update and revised.
