Geographic Profiling
Autor D. Kim Rossmoen Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2025
Bazându-ne pe datele tehnice furnizate de editura Routledge și pe resursele bibliografice din domeniul criminologiei, analizăm cea de-a doua ediție a lucrării Geographic Profiling. Suntem de părere că acest volum reprezintă fundamentul metodologic pentru orice investigație modernă care utilizează analiza locațiilor infracțiunilor legate între ele pentru a determina reședința probabilă a unui infractor.
Spre deosebire de prima ediție, acest volum actualizat integrează 220 de figuri și tabele care susțin noile studii de caz, incluzând analize asupra unor subiecți notorii precum Golden State Killer sau Zodiac Killer. Structura cărții este progresivă: începe cu fundamentele teoretice ale geografiei comportamentale (capitolele 7 și 8), trece prin tiparele de vânătoare ale prădătorilor (capitolul 10) și culminează cu strategii investigative concrete și aplicații în antiterorism sau epidemiologie.
Comparabil cu Applications of Geographical Offender Profiling de Donna Youngs în rigurozitate, volumul lui D. Kim Rossmo se distinge prin aplicabilitatea practică imediată pentru ofițerii de teren. Dacă în lucrarea sa anterioară, Criminal Investigative Failures, autorul se concentra pe identificarea erorilor care compromit o anchetă, în Geographic Profiling el oferă soluția tehnică pentru a evita supraîncărcarea informațională și pentru a prioritiza suspecții în mod științific.
Subliniem relevanța acestei ediții pentru curriculumul de psihologie judiciară și analiză criminală, deoarece extinde metodologia dincolo de infracțiunile violente (omucidere, viol, incendiere) către domenii emergente, cum ar fi predicția epicentrelor cutremurelor sau a bazelor de piraterie. Limbajul este precis, eliminând ambiguitățile și oferind un glosar de termeni esențiali pentru profesioniști.

Descriere scurtă
Geographic Profiling explores this cutting-edge investigative methodology for determining the most probable area of an offender’s residence by analyzing the locations of a series of connected crimes. Geoprofiling allows police detectives and law enforcement officers to prioritize suspects, focus their investigations, and manage information overload. This extensive and exhaustive work explains the underlying theories and operational principles of the methodology. To provide context, extensive reviews of the research on serial murder, rape, and arson, stranger child murder, behavioral/psychological profiling, linkage analysis, and the geography of crime are included.
As any police officer who has walked a beat or worked a crime scene knows, streets have hot spots, patterns, and rhythms. Understanding the varied geographic information in a crime series can be challenging. Renowned expert D. Kim Rossmo explains the concepts and applications of geographic profiling, and in this second edition updates his groundbreaking book with informative and engaging figures, tables, and examples. A range of applications are discussed including suspect prioritization, database searches, tactical response plans, missing person investigations, clandestine grave identification, and the role of geography in wrongful conviction reviews. Dr. Rossmo discusses the nature of police inquiries, criminal evidence, investigative challenges and failures, and more. The book explores the application of geographic profiling to violent and property crime, single offenses, epidemiology, counterterrorism/insurgency, and even earthquake epicenter and pirate base prediction. Fascinating new case studies include the Golden State Killer, Operation Lynx, the Zodiac Killer, the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, the DC Snipers, and the Austin Midnight Assassin.
Geographic Profiling is a must-have reference for detectives, crime analysts, and law enforcement officers who want to follow the geographic clues in their cases. Its clear presentation makes it ideal for college courses, police training, university scholars, and students of true crime.

Recenzii
-Gregg McCrary, FBI Behavioral Science Unit(retired)
"D. Kim Rossmo, has concisely put his numerous years of experience as a law enforcement officer and criminologist into a very important and readable book for fellow practitioners…a leader in the field of geographical profiling for many years…a must read for law enforcement and criminal justice professionals alike."
Crime & Justice International
"This is a thoroughly researched and carefully documented book with a bibliography exceeding 65 pages. The bibliography may well be the most extensive in the field, certainly so to this reviewer. For the serious researcher, the book is a 'must have' for the bibliography alone…This book explains the solid foundation on which geographic profiling has helped solve crimes, and includes contact information for qualified geographic profilers the author has trained. An entire chapter is devoted to practical applications of this new technique that address the information management problems presented by many major investigations."
--R. E. (Ron) MacKay, Insp., RCM Police (retired), Canadian Society of Forensic Science, 47th Annual Meeting, 2000
