Description
Evidence-Based Offender Profiling by Bryanna Fox, David Farrington, Andreas Kapardis and Olivia Hambly provides an in-depth exploration of the investigative tool used to narrow down potential suspects for crimes. The book delves into the history of offender profiling, summarizing research on methods and evaluating accuracy, as well as discussing a new methodology called evidence-based offender profiling. This approach relies on empirical data and scientific methods to develop and replicate profiles, increasing accuracy and utility in active police investigations. By examining prior information on statistical regularities between offenders and offenses, this method predicts characteristics of offenders in unsolved cases. The book also explores the future of offender profiling research and its implications for law enforcement, making it a valuable resource for practitioners seeking to benefit from empirically tested profiles in their investigations.
