About this ebook
The bestselling author of The Forensic Science of C.S.I. examines the real-life cases behind the hit television series Criminal Minds
Week after week, the hit TV show Criminal Minds gives viewers a look inside the psyches of the fictional serial killers tracked by the BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit). This elite team of FBI agents travels the country assisting law enforcement officials by examining the crime scene, "profiling" the perpetrator, and aiding in arrest and interrogation. In this book Katherine Ramsland reveals how reality differs from fiction and how forensic psychologists actually use their knowledge of human behavior and motivations as consultants in criminal investigations-as well as detailing the real cases that influenced some of Criminal Minds's most memorable episodes.

Well written for a ninth grade audience. I liked the book and thought it was both I insightful and sensitive. With that being said I am often frustrated that book are becoming shorter as if written for people with low attention spans. We also have a language that lends itself to expressive turns if phrase not much of that here.
