- Offender Profiling: Bottom-Up Approach
- Bottom-Up Approach
- Doesn't begin with fixed typologies
- Profile is data driven
- Aim is to generate a picture of the offenders character traits, routines and background
- Everything based off of evidence analysis
- Investigative Psychology
- Uses statistical procedures to establish behaviours that are likely to exist across crime scenes
- Develops a database as a baseline for comparison
- Details of the offence can then be matched against this database to reveal important details about the offenders background
- Interpersonal Coherence
- The way an offender acts at the scene and interacts with the victim mimics how they act in real life
- Shows how they are likely to have relationships with people and act
- Geographical Profiling
- Make inferences about the likely home or operational base of an offender
- Crime mapping
- Used in conjunction with psychological theory to create a hypothesis about the offender
- Marauder
- Someone who operates close to home
- Commuter
- Someone who is likely to travel to the scene
- Offending patterns are likely to form a circle around their usual place of residence
- Becomes more prominent with more offences
- Gives information into the offence - planned and transport etc
- Make inferences about the likely home or operational base of an offender
- Bottom-Up Approach
