Profil der Mörder

It is an auto-biography. He is the pioneer in using psychology in the forensic medicine in England. He, as many others, talks about the cases where his predictions of the personality of the murderer matched the reality pretty close. It is amazing to see on what pieces of information the personality profiles are based. I think the success of this method owes a great deal to the ability of the analyser. I can not imagine that a huge database will replace founded intuition. The FBI is aiming at this. It is a book to pass the time and at the same time you do not waste your time. I finished it on my flight from Recifé to Tucson.
