Leading the field of crime classification May 5, 1999
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Whilst written primarily for the american law enforcement community this book is an excellent read and will provide a highly useful guide to police officers, criminal lawyers and criminologists the world over. As a Law student in the United Kingdom, it has proved useful to me in both criminology and criminal law as well as providing an entertaining read. John.E.Douglas proves again that he is one of the leaders in the field of behavioural science providing a character type for each of the main crime classes. I recommend that anyone embarking on a degree with emphasis on criminal law or the sociology of crime should read this book.
It is what the title claims - what more can you ask? March 18, 1999

As a senior probation officer with previous and current involvement in a variety of serious crime investigations, the Crime Classification Manual provided for me, at the very least, reassurance that nothing is unique. The primary objective of the work is to allow US police departments to classify serious crimes for analysis purposes. Thus, if you are expecting a "profiling" guide, you will be disappointed. If on the other hand you are content with some insights into patterns of offending and potential distinguishing features, the manual is of value. It contains operational advice to police which I am less competent to judge, although the information on interview methods is limited. Finally don't buy it as a book to plough through - it is definitely for referring rather than reading, and as such should certainly be in all police libraries.
