Description :
Analysts are not the people who solve cases all by themselves, and profiling is often seen as a resource that can be used to assist investigators when their traditional methods fail to make headway when there is little or no evidence at a crime scene. Serial killers and other perpetrators may display an unquenchable desire to fulfill a fantasy by committing a violent act or display signs of psychopathology. In this course, we look at the important history, techniques, and terminology that law enforcement and analysts have used during various attempts by analysts in the past to catch ruthless predators. We'll also explore why it often doesn't work and how profiling has been refined and criticized over the years.
