3. How might these shows cause problems for detectives? Criminal Profiling and the Popular Media A lot of "TV cops” who “think that the police just give up." TV Shows – 42 minutes DONE Public doesn't realize that clearing murders has become harder in recent decades Worsening relationships between police and the public (all the scientific advances are not going help us like people can) Prosecutors nowadays demand that police deliver "open-and-shut cases" that will lead to quick plea bargains Growing "no snitch" culture

4. Early Profiler 19th Century – Dr. Thomas Bond Best known for his association with the notorious Jack the Ripper murders of 1888 We need your help Dr. Bond Sir Robert Anderson ~ Assistant Commissioner (Crime) of the London Metropolitan Police America’s First Profiler Late 1970s

5. Focus: Jack the RipperWhat do you know? M.O.? Where? Other nicknames? Ever caught (suspects)? Why famous? Victimology? +100

6. Early Profiler – Dr. Thomas Bond 1888 Assisting in autopsies of young ladies killed by Jack the Ripper. His actual profile: All five murders were no doubt committed by the same hand. In the first four, the throats appear to have been cut from left to right...In each case the mutilation was inflicted by a person who had no scientific nor anatomical knowledge. In my opinion, he does not even possess the technical knowledge of a butcher or horse slaughterer or any person accustomed to cut up dead animals...The murderer must have been a man of physical strength, and great coolness and daring...He must, in my opinion, be a man subject to periodic attacks of homicidal and erotic mania....The murderer in external appearance is quite likely to be a quiet inoffensive looking man, probably middle-aged, and neatly and respectably dressed. I think he might be in the habit of wearing a cloak or overcoat, or he could hardly have escaped notice in the streets if the blood on his hands or clothes was visible.... HE GOES ON WITH MORE DETAIL. ALTHOUGH RIPPER WAS NEVER CAUGHT, WE CAN SEE FROM PART OF BOND'S PROFILE THAT HE WAS DEFINITELY PIONEERING THE PROFILING WE KNOW TODAY.

7. Comparing Criminal Profiling RELIES ON DATA GATHERED FROM THE CRIME SCENES, POLICE REPORTS, PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS, METHOD EXAMINERS' REPORTS AND VICTIMOLOGY REPORTS IN ORDER TO BE EMPIRICALLY ANALYZED AND SUBSEQUENTLY TO SUPPORT A THEORY. FOR EXAMPLE, INDUCTIVE PROFILING DERIVES GENERAL PRINCIPLES ABOUT THE BEHAVIOR OF SERIAL CRIMINALS BY EMPIRICALLY EXAMINING AND TESTING PARTICULAR FACTS OR INSTANCES OF A LARGE NUMBER OF SOLVED CASES

8. EXAMPLES OF THE LOGIC INDUCTIVE PROFILING • A 24-year-old white female is raped in her apartment on the first floor. • A given study of 20 serial rapists indicates - tend to attack within their own age range - do not normally attack outside of their own race. Therefore it is inferred that the offender responsible for the unsolved rape is likely: White male - approximately 24 years old A major disadvantage - tends to be brief and nonspecific

9. Risk of Inductive Profiling – hard to determine criminal’s race based strictly on others behavior What was the example given? D.C. sniper shootings Oct. 2, 2002 Executed by lethal injection 6 life terms (no parole) White Male 30s Alone Military or right-wing militia group Anti-Government

10. EXAMPLES OF THE LOGIC Deductive Profiling Crime Scene: Remote Woods Location – discovered by hikers on seldom used trail (known by locals). Parking lot nearby.

11. Deductive Profiling At Crime Scene: The nude body of a female victim is found Wounds are visible on the body No blood is found at the crime scene. Any one deduct what this means ? The location where the body was found is a disposal site and not the actual location of the offense indicated by the fact that no blood was present at this location

12. Deductive Profiling At Crime Scene: Fresh tire impressions are found in the mud approximately 20 yards from where the body is located. No drag marks are found. Any one deduct what this means about the offender? The offender has a vehicle consistent with the tire impressions and is mobile. Also, the offender carried the victim (strong)

13. Deductive Profiling On the body, you spot: Petechiae [pa teek e i ] - evident in the eyes, neck and face above pattern of compression on the neck. (def: red or purple spot on the skin  The most common cause - physical trauma such as a hard bout of coughing, vomiting or crying The victim was likely asphyxiated with a material ligature (rope) about the neck, indicated by the pattern compression and the petechiae. Any one deduct what this means? Strangled

14. Deductive Profiling On the body: The victim bears ligature furrows (indents) around her wrists with abraded (scraped) contusions (bruises) but no ligature (ex: rope) is present. Any one deduct what this means about the offender? The offender : - Bound the victim to restrain her while she was still alive **indicated by the abrasions around wrists associated with struggling. - THEN removed the ligature before disposing of the body **indicated - we didn't find it at the scene.

15. Deductive Profiling On the body:The victim has • 4 shallow, careful incisions on the chest (not life threatening) Any one deduct what this means about the offender? Likely a sadist def: receives gratification from pain of others How do we know? Cuts were intended to cause pain but not serious injury.

16. Deductive Profiling While examining the bodyThe victim was sexually assaulted (physical evidence)AND able to identify the victim (30 year old local woman) - lived alone (not dating anyone)Search of victim’s apartment found:Used condom Latex Gloves Pieces of RopeBloodNo sign of forced entry(let him in)No mask found Victimology Any one infer what this means? offender planned to commit the rape. concerned about leaving behind fingerprints offender restrained her – evidence on body. offender stabbed her Victim knew offender or felt no threat from offender Offender didn’t care if she saw him (could later ID) Planned on killing her .

17. What is Deductively Profiled from the scene? • All of these details together indicate a competent, intelligent offender whom is likely able to sustain employment, Why? • May be likely a sadist • Familiar with the area • Victim knew him or he had preselected the target Suggested by the vehicle, use of a secondary scene to dispose of the body , gloves/condom to avoid transfer evidence Cuts were intended to cause pain but not seriously injure. Remote location – not many know about it unless local No forced entry – not much risk Produce fewer leads but is more accurate
