From expert witness Dr. Stanton Samenow, a brilliant, no-nonsense profile of the criminal mind, updated to include new influences and effective methods for dealing with hardened criminals. In 1984, this groundbreaking book offered readers an illuminating window into the workings of the criminal mind and a revolutionary approach to criminal "habilitation." In 2004, armed with two decades of additional knowledge and insight, Samenow explored the subject anew, using his vast expertise to explain the thought patterns of those who commit the crimes we were most concerned with in the new millennium, such as domestic violence, internet victimization, and terrorism. The fields of illicit activity have broadened, demanding another updated version, which includes an exploration of computers as a vehicle for criminal conduct; new drugs and pharmaceutical influences; exposure to the rawest forms of violence in video games, films, and television broadcasts; social media as an arena for criminal behavior; and updated genetic and biological research into whether some people are "wired" to become criminals.
