The Role of Geoprofiling in the Analysis of Crime Series

Project description
The Role of Geoprofiling in the Analysis of Crime Series
Geoprofiling is a crime investigation method that helps to analyze the area of connected series of crimes in order to determine the probable area in which the

offenderas residence is. Geoprofiling is important in the analysis of crime series because it helps to understand the area behavior of an offender and to base on the

investigation of a small area in the community. It can also be used in the cases of rape, robbery and other serial crimes (Leitner, p.73).
Geoprofiling also helps the police to focus on the information in large-scale, mostly in important investigations that always deal with hundreds of suspects. In order

to determine the offenderas most likely area of residence, an investigator has to understand the area pattern of a crime and the behavior of the crime site. This will

enable the investigator to know any other important information related to the offender, such as whether a crime had occurred just by a chance and the frequency of the

offenderas familiarity with the crime location. This is determined with the connections between offenderas criminal behaviors and his or her non-criminal life.
Geoprofiling can also help the police detectives to identify in which community, and in which particular area they have to enforce their security. This is in order to

free the residents of that community from the fear of being robbed anytime and avoid any other crime from occurring, such as murder in the community. This crime

investigation method will also enable the community to improve its security. Geoprofiling is growing at a large rate, and combined with offender profiling, can be a

tool in the investigation of serial crimes (Bruce, Cooper, Hick & International Association of Crime Analysts, p.30).

Activity Instructions
For this stage of work on your Capstone Project, compile an annotated bibliography of resources you plan to rely upon in the writing of the paper. It is not necessary

for you to have completed your literature research yet, but this assignment will allow your instructor to assess how you are doing on the preparation of the paper.
Click this link to access the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) to review the purpose, format, and style of an annotated bibliography:

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/01/.
Next, compile and submit your annotated bibliography of at least 8 resources that include resources as well as a variety of other government reports, statues and

regulations, news items, etc. Be sure to indicate if your resources are peer-reviewed.
Submit your updated summary plan. It should now contain the following sections as they apply to your Capstone Project:
