Doesn't use
pre-established typology
but develops a profile
Two Hallmarks are
investigative psychology
and
geographical profiling

crime
is recorded on a database to develop

Suggests each offender has an
operational base
, which can be inferred by
mapping locations
of previous crimes
View source
Marauders
Crimes close to
home
View source
