Criminal Profiling
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing the development and process of criminal profiling.

Criminal profiling is an invaluable tool for defining what investigators should be searching for in terms of suspects. As with any other operational advance, it still must be used properly if it is to return the proper results. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
