“Behind the Media!”
Written on: 03/06/2012 by savagelawstudent2012
The Jigsaw Man - Paul Britton - Offender Profiler, psychologist UK After studying Criminal Evidence at university I ordered this book out of a curiosity of offender profiling and a keen interest into criminology. As a law student it provided an insight into an area of the law we don't get to explore. Paul Britton is not only truthful in telling of his experiences but writes so clearly it feels like you are there yourself. Exploring the cases of mass murderers including Fred and Rosemary...

All the good stuff that you would expect from a criminal book, and all the sad stuff too. This man is not plastic, he has feelings and has worked hard all his life. I couldn't put it down. (read more)

I read The Jigsaw Man back in 1997 when it was first released, and I couldn't put it down. I've just re-read it, and again found it a fascinating and absorbing read. It is elegantly written, using enough 'psycho' terminology to impress, yet still be understandable. It reads like a series of short stories; some of the most bizarre and frightening true crime stories of the 1980's and 90's. Anyone who remembers 'baby James', the West's, Rachel Nickell, Stephanie Slater, would find this book... (read more)

You can't put it down because you wouldn't sleep , until you knew the people responsible for the crimes were safely behind bars.
Paul Britton has helped with most of the high-profile cases that have hit our newspapers and TV screens in the last twenty years. He doesn't glorify the cases he covers, he simply tells the story of their investigation. The police, in most cases, come out looking good. We learn very little about Paul himself, but you cannot help but realise what his job must have...

Brilliant man...I was totally entranced by The Jigsaw Man, how Paul Britton can tell the things about a criminal by the odd things they've done? From James Bulger to the Rachel Nickel murder and more he pin-points what the killers are going to do next, where they hang out, hobbies and past relationships. The profiles seemed to be guess work or plucked out from nowhere hopeing they get the person responsibe, but he has this ability to be right..I can see why he didn't want to be in the public...

Peter68A's Response to purplesam1501's Review
Written on: 01/12/2004
This is the man who was behind the "sting" to convict Colin Stagg of the Rachel Nickell murder, a murder which was in all probability committed by Robert Napper. Not as brilliant as one is led to believe. Could this man have been more wrong?
