Post by: Erazor on Oct 6, 2017 • Criminal profiling is a method by which one attempts to identify personality, behavioural, and/or demographic characteristics of an offender on the basis of the characteristics of the crimes he or she has committed.
• Goals of criminal profiling: a. To flush out an offender b. To determine whether a threatening note should be taken seriously c. To provide advice on how to best interrogate a suspect d. To provide prosecutors with strategies that will help them “break down” the suspect/defendant in cross-examination |
