Description
About this course
This Psychology of Criminal profiling course offers an insight into the minds of some of the world’s most notorious criminals.
Your Psychology of Criminal Profiling course is an in-depth look at the minds of deadly criminals via the form of case studies.
5 Procedural steps in generating a profile:
- A thorough analysis of the type/nature of the criminal act is made and it is then compared to the types of people who have committed similar crimes in the past
- An in depth analysis of the actual crime scene is made
- The victim’s background and activities are analysed, to look for possible motives and connections
- The possible factors for the motivation of the crime are analysed
- The description of the possible offender is developed, founded on the detected characteristics, which can be compared to with previous cases
In modern criminology, criminal profiling is generally considered the “third wave” of investigative science:
- The first wave was the study of clues, pioneered by Scotland Yard in the 19th century
- The second wave was the study of crime itself (frequency studies and the like)
- This third wave is the study of the psyche of the criminal
