How to solve a cold case : and everything else you wanted to know about catching killers / Michael Arntfield, Ph.D.

Arntfield, Michael, (author.).

Summary:

"For fans of Mindhunter, Serial, Murder Squad, and Making of a Murderer. Despite advances in DNA evidence, algorithms and forensic analysis, almost half of murder cases remain unsolved. By 2016, the solved rate had dropped so significantly in the United States, the homicide capital of the world, that it was the lowest in recorded history, with 1 in 2 killers never even identified, much less arrested and successfully prosecuted. As a sought-after global expert and former detective, Arntfield has devoted his career to helping solve cold cases and serial murder. He founded the Western University Cold Case Society which pairs students with police detectives to help solve crimes, often bringing in a surprising collaborators and experts from various fields including mining, architecture and visual arts. With the success of the Western University Cold Case Society, his University Cold Case Network is expanding with branches forming at universities across North America and partnering with the RCMP, FBI and CIA. In How to Solve a Cold Case, Arntfield lays out the steps to understanding and solving crime. He shows you what to look for, how to avoid common mistakes, recognize patterns and discover what others have been missed. Weaving in examples of crimes from across Canada and the United States, How to Solve a Cold Case is a must-read for mystery fans, true crime buffs and anyone who binge-watches Making a Murderer on Netflix."-- Provided by publisher.
