A Stressful Line of Work

I have had the opportunity to meet and become friends with many members of law enforcement over the past several years, first during formal study of forensic psychology and criminology and then while completing research for my book Compulsion. I have a great deal of respect for the men and women who choose to enter this dangerous and stressful line of work. Their efforts and dedication to their communities allow all of us to have a greater sense of safety as we go along with our daily lives.

Does Emily Stone Need a Partner?

So many of the famous detectives we meet in the pages of our favorite books or on our television screens come in sets of two. You just need to brainstorm for a moment and I am sure that plenty of examples will come to mind—Starsky and Hutch, Hart to Hart, Cagney and Lacey, The Hardy Boys, and every incarnation of Law and Order. The two sleuths usually feed off each other, offering insight and knowledge in areas in which the other person is weak. Maybe one partner is better at reading the mind

Emily's Crime Watch – Tip #6

Emily Stone is definitely a woman who would stand up and fight no matter what she encountered. However, in real life each person must decide on their own how they would react to a potentially dangerous situation.

What would you do?

It has been stated from various representatives of law enforcement that victims are often hurt by the "startle factor". Victims were not paying attention to their surroundings or they were engrossed in a phone call when they were approached by the criminal element. Thos

Forensic Science – Past & Present

It is often thought that police forensics has been a relatively new contribution to interpreting, reconstructing, and solving crimes in our society. Quite the contrary, police forensics, or more accurately described as forensic science, has been a part of history for more than a hundred years.

What is forensic science? The word "forensic" comes from the Latin word "forensis", which simply means forum. Today, the area of police forensics is split into two major working categories: criminalistic

Our Country Celebrates the Freedoms and Rights Afforded to All of Us

This weekend, we celebrated our nation's declaration of independence from England and the origins of what has grown into the freest and strongest country in the world. The principles that were laid out in both the Declaration of Independence and then the Constitution just a decade later provided protections for our accused criminals that ensure as much as possible that the innocent are not persecuted. In the United States, even serial killers and pedophiles like the ones featured in my book Com

Criminal Profiling – An Important Investigative Tool

In my novel "Compulsion", Emily Stone's love interest Detective Rick Lopez uses a form of profiling called a "Threshold Assessment". He carefully weighs the evidence from the serial homicide crime scenes, criminal behavior patterns, and victimology to begin to put together a preliminary profile of the serial killer.

I've just recently become an associate member in the Criminology Section of the Academy of Behavioral Profiling. I'm intrigued by behavioral evidence analysis and it was the driving f
