Profiling Violent Crimes Case Analysis
the assignment is the word document and the book is provided as a pdf
Assignment
- Are the crimes related? Explain by identifying the components of M.O. and signature that seem similar or different.
- Victimology – explain the symbolic risk, lifestyle risk, and incident risk of the victims
- Is their commonality in the choice of victims?
- Is each scene organized/disorganized?
- First, create a profile of the killer for all three victims. Do not let the suspect biographies influence your profile (what if the police are wrong?) What is the killer typology? Organized/disorganized? Explain why you made your choice. In your paper, if you state the killer is a middle aged while male who holds an unskilled job, explain why you say this (e.g., most serial killers are white males, characteristics at the scene indicate a disorganized offender which means they have an unskilled job, etc.).
- Who is most likely the killer? Explain. Use deductive and inductive reasoning to explain your choice.
Paper must be Times New Roman size 12, double spaced, at least 750 words (roughly two pages). Have in-text citations from the text/powerpoints supporting your profile.
