A brilliant, no-nonsense profile of the criminal mind, newly updated in 2022 to include the latest research, effective methods for dealing with hardened criminals, and an urgent call to rethink criminal justice from expert witness Stanton E. Samenow, Ph.D. "Utterly compelling reading, full of raw insight into the dark mind of the criminal."--John Douglas, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Mind Hunter Long-held myths defining the sources of and remedies for crime are shattered in this groundbreaking book--and a chilling profile of today's criminal emerges. In 1984, Stanton Samenow changed the way we think about the workings of the criminal mind, with a revolutionary approach to "habilitation." In 2014, armed with thirty years of additional knowledge and insight, Samenow explored the subject afresh, explaining criminals' thought patterns in the new millennium, such as those that lead to domestic violence, internet victimization, and terrorism. Since then the arenas of criminal behavior have expanded even further, demanding this newly updated version, which includes an exploration of social media as a vehicle for criminal conduct, new pharmaceutical influences and the impact of the opioid crisis, recent genetic and biological research into whether some people are "wired" to become criminals, new findings on the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy, and a fresh take on criminal justice reform. Throughout, we learn from Samenow's five decades of experience how truly vital it is to know who the criminals are and how they think. If equipped with that crucial understanding, we can reach reasonable, compassionate, and effective solutions. From expert witness Dr. Stanton E. Samenow, a brilliant, no-nonsense profile of the criminal mind, updated to include new influences and effective methods for dealing with hardened criminals Review: Nice - Love the book Review: It didn’t meet my expectations - I kind of liked the book but wish it could have been more related to psychological research and less examples or stories of so many people. Also the book wasn’t new.

Best Book on Criminal Psychology
This book gave me good knowledge on Criminal minds and my father Subhash Ranjan Biswas defence that he can do anything to threat me with Psychiatric drugs is proved wrong in this book. His right to do anything with me is a symptom of Criminality. When I showed this book to my father, he as advised by Parthasarathy Biswas psychiatrist and Mantu Chandra Mandal ignored this book and said that reading this books will not help. Later I was kidnapped to Spirit Foundation Sodhpur Khardaha when I stressed on the particular chapter. Spirit Foundation called me a maniac is was coined by a French lunatic scientist long time back. The book is very good to understand the criminal psychology of more or less the whole of the criminals as partners to crimes.

The cover feels great
I haven’t started reading it yet but it looks like it will be very interesting. The texture of the cover also makes it feel very nice to touch and hold in your hand.

Great read
I bought the used book to save a few bucks. Pretty much brand new. I sat down to read it shortly after receiving it. I couldn't put it down. Finished it the next day. I'm starting to reread it now at a slower pace, just in case I missed something. Definitely a five star. A must have for somebody in criminology classes or just a sit down and read. Again, a must have in your library.
