Introducing Geographical Offender Profiling

Profiling:

Geographical offender profiling is now being used by police forces around the world to help focus investigations into a connected series of crimes where there are no obvious suspects.

This film introduces students to the principles and key concepts of geographical profiling – least effort principle, distance decay, crime pattern theory and opportunity spaces – and their application to criminal investigations.

Please Note: Although this is a standalone film, it can be used as an introduction to complement the film Geographical Profiling Applied: the M25 Rapist.
