This book introduces a novel approach to analysing and mapping criminal
behaviours. Every crime occurs as a chain of behaviours and events, from
inception and preparation through to commission and exit from the crime
scene. These pathways in crime are complex, dynamic sequences that are
by their very nature difficult to analyse. Keatley provides a clear and
coherent introduction to Behaviour Sequence Analysis, and the chapters
address a wide range of criminal offences, from deception in
interrogations through to sexual assaults, serial homicide, and
terrorism. Interesting additional similarities between Behaviour
Sequence Analysis and other well-known methods, such as crime linkage,
crime script analysis, and T-Pattern Analysis are also outlined in
detail. Academic researchers in Forensic Psychology and Criminology, as
well as applied practitioners and investigators will find this an
invaluable book, and will gain clear insight and understanding into the
method in order to apply it to their own cases.
