Pinnizzotto Aim?	to examine the effectiveness of profiling in identifying potential suspects in murder and sex offence cases
Pinnizzotto Participants?	5 groups: expert profilers, detectives w/ profiling experience, detectives w/o profiler experience, clinical psychologists, undergraduate students
Pinnizzotto Method?	laboratory experiment, ppts asked to read information about 2 closed cases (murder & sex offence) and asked to build an offender profile for each. profiles then compared for accuracy
Pinnizzotto Results?	profilers were more accurate than non-profilers on sex offence cases, but detectives without profiling experience more accurate on the murder case
Pinnizzotto Conclusions?	the success of profiling is the result of both confidence and experience rather than the use of an exclusive technique. both training and practical experience vital in developing profiling expertise and that productive liaison between police and psychologists is the way forward
Bottom up approach based on profiler gathering info of each crime & forming ___ based on those details only.	conclusions
profiler will process all info from crime scene to create "___" of what happened constantly ___ ___ details until it makes sense. also referred to as ___ method as conclusions formed using particular instances to form general principle (___ forms ___). approach used by ___ profilers	"picture", constantly adding new details, inductive method, evidence forms hypothesis, used by British profilers
developed by ___ who runs the ___ for ___ ___. this approach looks at offender's behaviour ___ crime and attempts to formulate psychological theory to show why variations in criminal behaviour occur	Canter, the Centre for Investigative Psychology, behaviour during crime
British approach makes no initial ___ about offender until ___ ___ carried out on the details of the crime, making it bottom up	no initial assumption, until statistical analysis
Canter believes usefulness of method led to development of "___-___" theory. can help explain how offender's behaviour changes of series of offences, or establish whether 2 or more offences committed by same person	"five-factor" theory
Geographic Profiling: considered by "five-factor" theory is "___ of ___ & ___" idea of Geographical Profiling based on no. of psychological theories (e.g. ___ ___ & ___ ___ theories) and research on ___ maps	"significance of time & place", (e.g. rational choice & routine activities theories), on cognitive maps
Geographic Profiling ___ + ___ = ___	geographic location of crimes + mental maps used by offender = residential location
based on geographic profiling assumptions, Canter proposed ___ ___, a model of offender behaviour that helps reveal where offender lives and/or likely location of next crime, developed directly from ___ psychology	Circle Theory, environmental psychology
The Circle Theory - proposes two models of behaviour: " ___" and "___" model	"Marauder", "Commuter"
Marauder Model?	assumes that an offender will go from their home base to commit their crimes
Commuter Model?	assumes offender will travel a distance from their home base before committing the crime
Geographic profiling software programmes have been developed to assist criminal investigation such as Canter's ___, but geographical profiling only possible with ___ crimes where ___ of behaviours can be established & models based on ___ study of solved cases, difficult to apply in actual investigations, practically impossible to know if marauder or commuter	Canter's DRAGNET, serial crimes, patterns of behaviour, retrospective study
Snook Aim?	to examine distance between home to crime for serial murderers
Snook Method?	collected records of 53 male serial murderer cases in Germany. all data obtained direct from police & court documents. home & geographic locations of victims plotted on map for each of 53. committed total of 247 murders over 70yrs, between 16-52yrs old, 90% under 40yrs old, IQ available for 29 of murderers
Snook Results?	63% serial sexual murders occurred within 10km of residence, 1st time location closest in 47% of cases, 35% of 2nd & 3rd murders closest to home. as age increased, home-to-crime distance decreased (negative correlation) average IQ 100.5, only 5 scored below 90. higher IQ, distance further
Snook Conclusions?	in last 70yrs, bodies recovered near homes. IQ & age significant predictors, more IQ travel farther. certain factors appear to be related to distance from homes that murderers offend
Case Study approach to profiling involves a range of different ___ being used to collect information that will lead to the identification of the ___ of a potential offender	different methods, of the characteristics
