Our expert will guide you through the particularities of these categories and phenomena, all backed up by pertinent case studies.

You'll also learn how victims are identified, and watch a fascinating time-lapse video of facial reconstruction on the skull of a discovered body. Discover one of Forensic Psychology's most troubling topics!"
