Crime Classification Manual Part II Chapter 6 17
A
STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES
SECOND
EDITION
In the late 1980s,
the agents from the Investigative Support Unit at the FBI Academy joined with
the Behavioral Science Unit to begin working on a crime classification manual,
using as a guide the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-IV-TR, 2006) of the American Psychiatric Association. Work groups were
assigned to the major crime categories of murder, arson, and sexual assault. An
advisory committee representing federal and private associations was formed.
