Course Summary
Profiling is a method that uses data analysis to determine the patterns and motives of past criminals, predict future behaviours, and prevent potential crimes. These profiles require the profiler to use sociological and psychological evidence to create an accurate background on each individual, which could be used in a legal case.
Reliable data and trending analysis are important for developing an effective profile useful for future predictions and preventative action. However, an innovative and outside-the-box mindset is also required to really understand how actions affect the perpetrator and predict their future behaviours.
Understanding previous cases and criminal behaviour can also help predict personality and behavioural changes in current criminals and assist in legal battles to reduce the overall crime rate in focus areas.
To fully understand the intricacies of criminal profiling, it’s important to investigate the functions and tools involved in solving crimes and uncover the types of evidence and data that could be used in a legal battle to reach the correct conclusion and make positive societal changes.
