From 1985 to 1988, Dr.
Grover Maurice Godwin was a police officer for
the
Oxford Police Department (North
Carolina). He left the
Oxford Police Department to pursue his
education. After completing his undergraduate and graduate work in the United
States, he went to England where he studied in a one of a kind criminal
psychology program at the University of Liverpool. Dr. Godwin is first American
to hold a Ph.D. in Investigative Psychology. His expertise and scientific
research in areas of psychology, serial killers, criminal behavior, and linking
unsolved crimes distinctly sets him apart from the vast number of
criminal profilers who rely on intuitive based
opinions. In addition to his teaching at university and his
forensic consulting business, he is the author
of five books: Tracker: Hunting Down Serial Killers; Hunting Serial
Predators; Slave Master, True murder story of Internet Serial Killer; Criminal
Psychology and Forensic Technology: A Collaborative Approach to Effective
Profiling; and, Hunting Serial Predators: A Multivariate Approach to Profiling
Violent Behavior.
According to the book description
of Tracker: Hunting Down Serial Killers, Maurice
Godwin uses inductive analysis, environmental psychology, behavioral
psychology, crime site information, and other factors to create the most
accurate psycho-geographical profiles available. In Tracker, we learn that
"[Godwin's] work is based on the collection and critical analysis of over
100,000 data points and 200 different crime scene actions that could be used to
profile the killer." Godwin explains, "Instead of relying on interviews with
murderers, I studied specific pieces of behavioral information available from
the crime scene or case file to develop a psychological profile of the killer
and to pinpoint where he lives." Godwin further states, "Im more interested in
getting in the killers shoes rather than his mind."

Carolina); and, the founding President of that departments Police
