Description

In Practical Homicide Investigation, renowned author and investigator Vernon J. Geberth provided thousands of law enforcement professionals with invaluable techniques for investigation homicides. Now he shares his expertise related to the unique characteristics of sex-related homicides. In Sex-Related Homicide and Death Investigation: Practical and Clinical Perspectives the author:

  • Comprehensively discusses human sexuality and sexual deviance
  • Analyzes the significance of fantasy as it related to sex-related homicide and death investigations
  • Presents the crucial dynamics involved in the search of the crime scene, including collecting and preserving both physical and trace evidence
  • Includes investigative checklists, clinical references, and case examples of various sex-related deaths
  • Analyzes the typology of offenders, organized and disorganized, and reveals how to determine the offender's "signature aspect"
  • Provides an understanding of the significance of sexual offenders' behaviors

The mission of every homicide investigator is to bring justice to the deceased and their surviving family. Sex-Related Homicide and Death Investigation: Practical and Clinical Perspectives stresses the basics, indicates the practicalities of certain investigative techniques, and provides you with the patterns upon which to build a solid foundation for a prosecutable case.

This is a volume in the CRC Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations Series.
