Looking for recommendations on the best books about criminal psychology

I’ve recently become really interested in criminal psychology and understanding what goes on in the mind of criminals things like motives, behavioral patterns, personality disorders, manipulation, profiling, and why people commit certain crimes.

I’m looking for books that are actually informative and psychologically grounded, rather than fictional crime stories. I’m open to both academic/non-fiction books and books written by psychologists, profilers, investigators, or people with relevant experience.

What would you consider the best book to start with if someone is completely new to criminal psychology?

Also, if there are any books that go deeper into criminal profiling, psychopaths, serial offenders, or forensic psychology, I’d appreciate those recommendations too.

Thanks!
