5.Profiling(犯罪剖绘)

Asthestarsoftrue-crimedocumentaries,TVseriesandHollywoodthrillers,criminalprofilershaveoneofthebest-knownlawenforcementjobsintheworld.Basicprofiling—identifying,theperpetrator(犯罪者)ofacrimebasedonananalysisofcrimeandthewayitwascommitted—isacommoninvestigativetool.Butsomefearthatpolicedepartmentshavetakenprofilingtoofar,harassingorevenarrestingpeoplebecauseofcertaincharacteristicstheymighthaveincommonwithcriminals—orworseyet,becauseoftheirskincolor.Othersarguethatinanageofterrorismandviolentcrime,wecan'taffordnottoexaminepeoplebasedoncrimepatterns,evenifthatmeanssuspicionbasedonrace.

BasicsofProfiling

ThemostbasickindofprofilingisaBeOntheLookout(BOLO)orAll-PointsBulletin(APB).You'reprobablyfamiliarwiththese,althoughyoumightnothavehearditreferredtoasaprofile.

Thenextstepinprofilingisthepsychologicalprofile.Investigatorscreatethisprofileintheabsenceofphysicalevidenceoreyewitnessdescriptions,ortosupplementsuchdescriptions.Theytakewhattheyknowaboutanunknownsuspectandhisactionsandtrytogenerateadditionalinformation.Forexample,ifaserialmurdererhasbeenkillingthefemaleemployeesofalawfirm,profilersmightfinditlikelythatthekillerisamaleformeremployeeorclientofthelawfirm.

PredictiveProfiling

Thisisn'tarevolutionaryideabyitself.Policeofficersdon'tjustreacttocrimes:theypatrol,observeandtrytospotsuspiciousbehavior.thatcouldmeanacrimeisgoingtotakeplace.Fewpeoplewouldquestionanofficers'righttoinvestigateasuspicioussituationorquestionasuspiciousperson.Evenwhenpolicedepartmentsusetheircriminalprofilesasajustificationforsearchesandarrestswithoutwarrants,thosepracticeshavebeenupheldbytheSupremeCourt.
