We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand
fibers connect us with our fellow-men; and along those fibers, as
sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as
effects.

Criminal Profiling and Forensics Expert Leads Workshops at Kennesaw State
8/5/08 (5:12 p.m.) Brent Turvey, a leading forensic scientist
and criminal profiler, will lead a series of four workshops at the ninth annual

The ABP also will conduct a Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training
(POST)-approved, hands-on profiling training Aug. 11-12. It is open to Georgia
law enforcement officers at student rates.
Who:
Turvey is the author of “Criminal Profiling,” a seminal text —
now in its third edition — on “deductive profiling,” an innovative technique
geared to investigating and solving crimes by understanding the behavior of
criminals. An investigator and expert witness specializing in rape and homicide
cases, Turvey also has published volumes on rape investigation and crime-scene
reconstruction.
What:
The Academy of Behavioral Profiling meeting presents law
enforcement officials, students and community members the latest issues and
trends in criminal profiling. Turvey’s workshops will focus on behavioral
evidence and criminal profiling; the scientific method and behavioral evidence
analysis; the scientific examination of victims; and crime reconstruction,
victim analysis and staging. Other presentations include crime reconstruction
and false reports of crime; ethics and the investigative relevance of criminal
profiling. All sessions are open to the public. Registration for the annual
meeting is at
