I would like to thank Jonathan Chu, Administrative Director and John Pluebell, the Assistant Director of the graduate programs, for their encouragement and for helping me with the administrative side of things. My special thanks also go to Melissa Beuoy, at the Golden Gate University Law Library, for her excellent and speedy assistance. She made sure that I received all materials without any delay. Finally, I would like to thank many people who assisted me in one way or the other throughout this research. Many thanks to the offender profiling experts who assisted me by sharing their knowledge and information with me. I 4 Research Methodology This dissertation is a qualitative research with two methods of study. It involved interviews with Crime Scene Analysts and Offender Profilers. This method provided first hand and up to date information on the different approaches to offender profiling. The standard legal research method of case analysis has also been used. This involved extensive case analysis. Cases that involved offender profiling have been analyzed. This method provided adequate background information on the admissibility problems of offender profiling evidence. The limitation to this dissertation is the unwillingness of some profilers to grant interviews and share their knowledge. 5 ~...................... --------- Abstract This dissertation examined the use of offender profiling evidence in criminal cases. The meaning, history, approaches and legal admissibility of offender profiling have been discussed. The introduction of offender profiling into the courtroom has been controversial, problematic and full of inconsistencies. This dissertation therefore, examined the central problems with offender profiling evidence, and answered such questions as - Is offender profiling impermissible character evidence? Who is qualified to give expert profiling evidence? Is offender profiling too prejudicial than probative? Is offender profiling an opinion on the ultimate issue? Is offender profiling sufficiently reliable as to be admissible? This dissertation has noted that in United States, there are inconsistencies in the court decisions on offender profiling evidence as a result of the three conflicting rules governing the admissibility of expert evidence. After a critical examination of the three rules, the adoption of one rule has been suggested. The Frye test standard combined with the Federal Rules of Evidence 702 provides the best admissibility standard. Many people are confused as to the appropriate discipline of offender profiling. This dissertation has therefore, presented a step by step analysis of the history and development of offender profiling. Offender profiling is a multi-disciplinary practice that cuts across many disciplines. At the moment, it is best described as an art with the potential of becoming a science. This dissertation concludes that offender

Such initiatives were introduced because of the disproportionate amount of serious crime committed by this population (Kiehl & Hoffman, 2011). The OPD pathway draws on psychologically informed services to manage complex and challenging offenders who have severe PD and pose a high risk of harm to others, or of reoffending (NOMS, 2011). PD is defined by unusual and persistent traits affecting a person’s ability to cope with life (Jarrett, 2006). Despite concerns regarding the classification system (e.g. Jarrett, 2006), the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) identified ten PDs arranged into three clusters. Cluster A PDs are considered odd and eccentric and consist of Paranoid, Schizoid, and Schizotypal. Cluster B are considered dramatic and erratic and consist of Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic, and Narcissistic. Cluster C are considered anxious and fearful and consist of Avoidant, Dependent, and Obsessive Compulsive (see DSM-5 manual, American Psychiatric Association, 2013). This system is useful because it provides a basis for diagnosis and treatment. Although not categorised a PD, psychopathy is considered a severe form of antisocial PD.

What is criminal profiling anno 2020: A short communication. Soc Behav Res Pract Open J. 2020; 5(1): 19-22. doi: 10.17140/SBRPOJ-5-123 ABSTRACT Criminal profiling has been through many different periods during the time the field has existed, but none of which has resulted in a scientific validation of the field and thereby shown how it could be effectively used in the capable hands of law enforcement. Part of the problem is that there is no proper collaboration between law enforcement and the academic world from which the scientific validation could arise. This brief communication will give an overview of the main approaches used today, as well as explain the overall building blocks of a proposed Trinity-approach. The Trinity-approach consists of a geographical profile, which should lay the foundation of any profile. The reason for the geographical profile to be the foundation is that this type of profiling has shown reliable results compared to other types of profiling. The next step should be a profile of the victim and finally fol- lowed by the profile of the offender. The profile of the victim, as well as that of offender should come from a database contain- ing extensive scientific studies within the field of criminal profiling.

  • Reliability, Validity, and Utility of Criminal Profiling Typologies
    Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology, 2002, Volume 17, Number 1 Reliability, Validity, and Utility of Criminal Profiling Typologies Maurice Godwin Methodist College Criminal profiling has received attention from the academic community and from the en- tertainment world since the FBI first published accounts of its profiling principles. It be- came popular through films such as Silence of the Lambs and the X-Files making headlines. However, beyond the victims’ pin pictures that help create the sensationalism in these resources, there have been few, if any, reliable criminal profiling classification designs. This work examines deductive and inductive profiling models that classify crime scene activity including the first systematic review of the FBI’s organized and disorgan- ized profiling typology. The paper concludes with a discussion about how to turn profiling from an art too more a scientific process through the use of investigative process man- agement research. INCE ITS EMERGENCE, criminal major flaw of current profiling methods profiling has been given several is that most all profiles emphasizes the S different terms to describe the various psychological functions that technique. For instance, psychological murder has for the offender not what va- profiling, criminal profiling, criminal rieties of action the murder actually con- personality profiling, criminal investiga- sists of. Consequently, these profiles tive analysis, and behavioral evidence make little distinction between the overt profiling. Regardless, though, of the de- crime scene behaviors as they occur in scriptive label applied, profiling as inves- murders and the psycho-dynamic proc- tigative tool today is entirely intuitive esses that are taken to account for or based and represents a less than educated produce that behavior.

  • Behavioral Science Unit
    Behavioral Science Unit Behavioral Science Unit (BSU) was one of the original instructional components of the FBI's Training Division at Quantico, Virginia. Its mission was to develop and provide programs of training, research, and consultation in the behavioral andsocial sciences for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and law enforcement community that would improve or enhance their administration, operational effectiveness, and understanding of violent crime. The BSU was established in 1972 at the FBI Academy, and was disbanded in 2014. Through its legacy of training, research, and consultation activities, the BSU developed techniques, tactics, and procedures that have become a staple of behavioral-based programs that support the law enforcement, intelligence, and military communities. It is here where the term "serial killer" was coined and where criminal investigative analysis and "profiling" were developed. Many of these programs eventually developed into stand-alone programs, units, and centers such as the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime (NCAVC), Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), Undercover Safeguard Unit, Crisis Negotiation Unit, Hostage Rescue Team, and Employee Assistance Unit. The mission of the BSU was to be the premier unit for developing and facilitating relevant programs of training, research, and consultation in the behavioral sciences for the FBI workforce, including the law enforcement, intelligence, and military communities that will improve their effectiveness in furtherance of the strategic priorities of the FBI. This is accomplished through the creation of innovative bodies of knowledge in specialty areas and applied research on significant behavioral science issues for use in training and consultation in support of academic, program, and operational matters.
