David Canter is one of the U.K.'s most eminent applied social psychologists, being one of the few to be appointed as Honorary Fellow of the British Psychological Society and having been elected as a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences, the American Psychological Association and the Royal Society of Medicine. Although he is internationally known for his development of the discipline of Investigative Psychology, bringing scientific precision to 'offender profiling', his earlier and continuing work centres on the development of Architectural/environmental psychology, establishing the well-respected Journal of Environmental Psychology in 1980 and the International Association for People-Environment Studies (IAPS). He has worked as a management consultant to major U.K. companies on risk reduction, amalgamations and briefing for new building complexes and has given advice to government inquiries into disasters. He wrote and presented a six-part documentary series, Mapping Murder, which is also published as a widely read book. He is Emeritus Professor at the University of Liverpool, U.K.
