Criminal Profiling Assignment

Introduction: This assignment was relatively easy for me to write. I have read several books and studied several cases that involved criminal profiling. By no means am I an expert in the field, I merely looked at a profiling template and had to imagine a scenario in which a profile could be used. Writing is an essential skill for an individual that builds a criminal profile, as illustrated by my example. It is important to be able to write clearly and organize the information in a way that an investigator can use it and reference it when going over potential suspects and interviews.
Perhaps the most important thing when writing a profile is to not let personal bias factor into the report. One must objectively look at the facts and the evidence
In order to do this I had to write a scientifically sound report that dealt strictly in facts and evidence. An example of this was my stating that the killer likely has police and or military training. This was suggested because of the manner in which the murders were carried out, very systematically. My relationship with the reader could be another profiler comparing and contrasting their results, to see if they drew the same conclusions as I. The reader will mostly likely be the head investigator and their team in the case. This means that the information needs to be neatly organized and wrote in a way that it is easy to understand. The main point of my relationship with the reader is to be an investigative tool that interprets physical information into psychological information. This was done well in my document as I have all the pertinent information divided by category. I also took several physical elements of the evidence and suggested psychological information based off of it. A lot of it was purely logic, such as the killer had to be in that age range and in good shape in order to carry out so many murders
For instance, in the case I used it would make more sense to pay attention to a physically fit man with a background in law enforcement than it would to look at a physically weak and inexperienced junkie with a vendetta against the mob. Both might have motive, but one was clearly capable of committing multiple murders, while it would have been impossible for the other suspect to do the same. I illustrate this point by listing the traits the officers should pay attention to when looking at suspects. Traits I list in the document such as military/police background, geographically stable, physically fit, and
