This book is accessible for any reader with an interest in the topic yet does not sacrifice a decent amount of detail. Certainly nowhere near the level of textbooks I've used, which is a good quality since those are designed to inform and shape future practitioners while most readers simply want the information.
The liberal use of case studies helps to illustrate both where profiling has fallen short as well as the many ways it has been shown to be effective. Through the use of a lot of pictures and sidebars, the layout helps, I think, to keep a reader engaged and actively reading.
Highly recommended for those with an interest in the field, whether because of an interest in true crime stories or an interest in human psychology. While not an extensive bibliography it is sufficient to encourage further reading and research for those so inclined.
