The Crime Book

The content is designed as an accessible introduction that explains complex legal and psychological concepts through simplified diagrams and infographics, making it suitable for novices and experts alike.

The book uses a visual, magazine-style layout that allows readers to either read long-form sections chronologically or browse through individual case studies, timelines, and mind maps at their own pace.

The volume was developed by a collaborative team of true crime experts including Cathy Scott, Shanna Hogan, Rebecca Morris, Lee Mellor, and Michael Kerrigan, with a foreword provided by crime-fiction author Peter James.
