4.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
