      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 as arson (the legal term), incendiarism, fire-setting and pyromania. The author has chosen the term "fire-raising" because it encompasses all these other terms. This study aims to place the phenomenon in an historical and anthropological context, and analyzes the extent of the problem. Prins draws on 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 guidance presented in this book should do much to inform all those involved in the investigation and management of people who use fire for unlawful purposes. It is intended for a wide range of professionals such as fire service staff, police, and medical professionals of various kinds.
