Criminal Profiling: Developing an Effective Science and Practice aims to transform criminal profiling into a credible science and practice that will reliably aid law enforcement investigation.

This course is designed to help you:

1. Comprehend the state of criminal profiling today by identifying the various models of criminal profiling;
2. Identify the scientific and practical limits of existing approaches and the scientific and practice implications for the field of profiling;
3. Discuss how profilers will differ in their conclusions and recommendations given the lack of scientific base for their judgments;
4. Describe the ways in which crime scene evidence is predicted by offender behavior, and how it is in turn is predicted by the perpetrator’s motive and personality or other offender behaviors;
5. Discuss the study of motive and behavior, and personality and behavior; and
6. Apply the scientific model of profiling based on the author’s theory relating the components of crime scene evidence, motive, personality and behavior to each other to understand criminal profiling.
