Prins, Herschel

SUMMARY

Fire, and in particular its misuse, has always had a fascination for certain people. In recent years fire-raising has become an increasing problem, in Britain and elsewhere, and the cost in both human and economic terms has risen sharply. The phenomenon is also known, in various parts of the world, as arson (the legal term), incendiarism, fire-setting and pyromania. The author has chosen to use the term 'fire-raising' because it is general enough to encompass all these other terms. Fire-Raising sets the phenomenon in an historical and anthropological context and analyses the extent of the problem. Professor Herschel Prins draws on many research papers, published in a range of professional and academic journals, and brings their findings together in an accessible form. Although fire-raising is a complex matter, and the motives of fire-raisers equally complex, the clear guidance presented in this book will do much to inform all those involved in the investigation and management of people who use fire for unlawful purposes. It will be essential reading for a wide range of individuals who deal with this problem, fire service staff, police, medical professionals of various kinds, criminologists, as well as psychiatrists, social workers, lawyers, magistrates, and judges.Prins, Herschel is the author of 'Fire-Raising Its Motivation and Management' with ISBN 9780415059855 and ISBN 0415059852.
