The Bobbies case was a key turning point, but the profiling of that one seems obvious to me. Despite the Behavioral Science Unit central to this story, I am disappointed not to find any discussion of how Behaviorism altered the discipline of psychology to focus on countable and measurable behaviors. Burgess discounts the "instinct" the FBI relied upon earlier. [note: I've read a couple chapters out of order.]

This could have been a much shorter book designed purely to advance the author's thesis. Instead it is a book for people who want to read about serial killers, which is not the same thing at all.
