Full textAbstract:
The article provides a comprehensive analysis of criminological profiling methods for serial killers, their effectiveness, and role in preventing serial crimes. The main profiling methods are identified, including criminal-analytical, psychological, geographical, linguistic, and digital. A detailed analysis of psychological profiling used to determine the motivation and behavioral characteristics of serial killers is conducted. Geographical profiling allows for determining the offender’s zone of activity, which increases the effectiveness of search and apprehension of suspects. Linguistic profiling, based on the analysis of writing style and language features, enables the establishment of authorship of anonymous messages and threats. Digital analysis, particularly the OSINT method and artificial intelligence algorithms, significantly expands law enforcement capabilities in tracking and profiling criminals in cyberspace. It is established that the optimal strategy for preventing serial homicides is a combined approach using digital analysis, criminal analytics, geoprofiling, and psychological analysis. Key words: criminological profiling, profiling, method, criminological research methodology, crime, offender personality, serial homicides, violent crime, forecasting, crime prevention.

Full textAbstract:
Generally speaking, criminals are caught by police for one or more of the following reasons: they confess to the crime; another criminal gives the police useful information about a crime; they are arrested red-handed or chased and caught by police; an eyewitness describes them; forensic evidence (fingerprints, footprints, DNA, etc.) at the crime scene or their handwriting or video footage is linked to them; or finally, because the police link a number of crimes committed by the same offender. Further, in today's large urban centres all over the world, the work of police detectives is becoming increasingly difficult, calling for more sophisticated techniques as criminals become even more adept. Films such as Silence of the Lambs, television series like Cracker in the UK, Mindhunter, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami or Profiler, and popular books like The Real Cracker by Stephen Cook (2001) , The Jigsaw Man and Picking Up the Pieces by Paul Britton (1998 , 2001 ) have popularised criminal profiling. In addition, well-known retired Federal Bureau of Investigation profilers (e.g. John Douglas, Roy Hazelwood, Robert Ressler) have published some of their experiences in helping law enforcement agencies catch serial killers. Likewise, in the UK, two very experienced offender profilers have published works; namely, academic psychologist Julian Boon and psychiatrist Richard Baddock. Offender profiling refers to the use of behavioural data evident in a crime to assist a police investigation by seeking to infer attributes of probable offenders, thus narrowing the police search for suspects.

Full textAbstract:
The Nigerian criminal justice system is not entirely ignorant or unaware of the use and the merits of the application of criminal profiling as a tool in crime investigation. The technique was introduced to help law enforcement agencies solve serious crimes such as serial rape or murder and to a lesser extent arson and property crime. At the heart of profiling lies the belief that by combining psychological principles with crime scene analysis, it is possible to identify the likely characteristics of a perpetrator. However, criminal profiling in Nigeria has not nearly reached the level of recognition, functionality, or institutionalization that it has attained in other jurisdictions. This study aims to examine the feasibility and the practicality of offender profiling in a criminal investigation of violent crimes with a particular focus on the Nigerian criminal justice system. It will also give an expository critique of the loopholes and impediments in the Nigerian criminal justice system and ways criminal profiling can fill up these holes. The research methods employed in this study include a combination of both primary and secondary sources. The work highlighted the effectiveness of this field and thus concluded that criminal investigative analysis should be effectively immersed into the justice system and should also receive as much recognition as it has in other jurisdictions especially in the United States and in major parts of Europe.

Full textAbstract:
Security has become an essential aspect of everyday life in India. Crimes are occurring rampantly even in broad daylight and its becoming difficult to predict the place and time of their occurrence due to their sudden nature. One of the ways to provide security is by enabling people with vital information on the security aspects for the route they would take during a travel from one place to another. This creates vigilance in traveler and precautionary measures could be taken to prevent any mishap. This project tries to envision an application that will suspect any possible security lapse in a location enroute a destination. A user would use a map which would display all possible areas of red alert for security from source to destination. Given a map (like Google Maps), the security-based profiling of various geographical routes traversed could be highlighted as red/yellow/green indicating high, medium and low risk zones respectively. This would enable the user to be vigilant while travelling through high risk zones in the map. The profiling of routes can be done on crime data obtained from police (Delhi Police in this case) website for arrested persons, their crime of conviction, place of crime committed, place of arrest etc. Machine learning algorithms could be used to learn the security features that contribute to the security of the location. Clustering algorithms can be used for this purpose. K means clustering is one of the simplest clustering algorithms which categorize the items into k groups of similarity. To calculate that similarity, it uses some distance metric (Euclidean, Manhattan, etc.) for distance measurement.

Full textAbstract:
It is a well-known fact that some criminals follow perpetual methods of operations known as modi operandi. Modus operandi is a commonly used term to describe the habits in committing crimes. These modi operandi are used in relating criminals to crimes for which the suspects have not yet been recognized. This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of a new method to find connections between crimes and criminals using modi operandi. The method involves generating a feature matrix for a particular criminal based on the flow of events of his/her previous convictions. Then, based on the feature matrix, two representative modi operandi are generated: complete modus operandi and dynamic modus operandi. These two representative modi operandi are compared with the flow of events of the crime at hand, in order to generate two other outputs: completeness probability (CP) and deviation probability (DP). CP and DP are used as inputs to a fuzzy inference system to generate a score which is used in providing a measurement for the similarity between the suspect and the crime at hand. The method was evaluated using actual crime data and ten other open data sets. In addition, comparison with nine other classification algorithms showed that the proposed method performs competitively with other related methods proving that the performance of the new method is at an acceptable level.

The article is devoted to the study of current problems of application of advanced methods of profiling in the process of combating cybercrime by units of the National Police. The fight against cybercrime has recently become increasingly important, as there has been a significant increase in the number of cybercrimes. Ukrainian cyber police units must use the most modern methods to combat such crimes. One such method is profiling, which is an important tool for investigating crimes, including information crimes. It allows us to classify cybercriminals, understand their habits and technologies and aims to identify the perpetrator. Due attention is not paid to psychological aspects quite often in operational and investigative activities, resulting in the problem of diagnosis and assessment of the offender. Profiling allows to solve this problem and to increase efficiency of professional activity of divisions of cyber police of National police of Ukraine. But profiling is not used practically in the activities of these units in this time, although the use of profiling in the investigation of cybercrime is quite common in the world's leading countries. Therefore, we aimed to consider the problems of application of advanced profiling techniques in the process of combating cybercrime in the activities of cyber police units, as well as to provide suggestions for improving the current legislation. None of the existing legal documents of our state provides for the use of profiling in the activities of cyber police. Underestimation of capabilities of profiling in cyber police units of the National Police of Ukraine requires rethinking currently. Profiling technologies can be successfully implemented in the activities of operational units of the National Police, including cyber police units, due to it combat crime will be more effectively. It is advisable to add to the existing search measures at the legislative level such a measure as "operational profiling" to this end, that will allow to widely use its capabilities.

Full textAbstract:
This research investigated DNA profiling and crime management in Nigeria. The major objective of the study was to find out whether the Nigeria Police are aware of how to use DNA optimally as a source of evidence in the investigation process. In Nigeria, the Nigeria Police is one of the leading agencies statutorily charged with the responsibility of providing internal security through fighting of crime. The police does this job by undertaking criminal investigation with a view to collecting evidence to be used for courtroom prosecution of criminal suspects. Since 1930 the Nigeria Police was established, it has relied mainly on the traditional (old school) method of criminal investigations based on eye witness testimonies and statements, the investigators sense of judgement and experience. Overwhelming evidence from this research points to the fact that the said method has proven ineffective, as may unsolved crimes, wrongful prosecution or conviction of innocent criminal suspects and failed courtroom prosecution litter the performance profiles of the Nigeria Police. The study concluded that the capacity level of the Nigeria Police to collect and preserve the DNA evidence as part of the agency's criminal investigation process and use same for courtroom prosecution has significant effect on the effort it makes to fight crime through DNA profiling, and that the availability or non availability of sophisticated DNA technology in Nigeria has significant effect on the effort the Nigeria police makes to fight crime through DNA profiling. The availability or non availability of a central DNA database in Nigeria has significant effect on the efforts of the Nigeria police makes to fight crime through DNA profiling.

Research indicates that public approval for the use of racial/ethnic profiling to prevent crime is low. In contrast, recent research and polling data suggest the public is more supportive of the use of racial/ethnic profiling to prevent terrorism. Using a survey-based experiment that varies the context for the use of racial/ethnic profiling (to prevent crime or to prevent terrorism), this study examines whether public approval for the use of racial/ethnic profiling by law enforcement officers differs across context. In addition, multivariate analyses examine whether the factors that are associated with support for the use of profiling, including race of respondent, salience of crime and terrorism, perceived racial bias in the justice system, and racial stereotyping, vary across context.

This review paper brings out technical and legal association between profiling and forensic science. It emphasizes on trace evidences used as valuable information in perspective of forensic science and criminal justice system. The aim of forensic profiling is to interpret and investigate with reasoning purposes. It explains available forms of data, data processing methods and technologies, and obstacles to data treatment. Proceeding with reconstruction process that formulates a possible hypothesis of profile, different forms of forensic profiling with judicial perspective are discussed. Other factors such as crime prepetition, crime series, and tactical, operational and strategic analysis etc. that can help in developing of profiles are also argued. It distinguishes the profiles significance into new technologies of DNA databases, digital image forensics, 3D and CCTV surveillance cameras, forensic drug profiling and intelligence based expertise centers. Other fields related to security such as detection, risk analysis and surveillance are discussed in profiling perspective

Full textAbstract:
The research of a criminal’s movements and the identification of his key locations is a complex task for both criminology and criminalistics. The analysis of publications shows that geographical profiling can be viewed simultaneously as an interdisciplinary field of knowledge, as a method for obtaining orienting diagnostic information about the criminal, and as a process of corresponding analytical activity; besides, the number of geographical profiling objects grows with time: the place of residence is supplemented by other anchor points where the criminal might spend time. The author states that in some cases geographical profiling methods might be effective for identifying the criminal who committed a single crime, and not necessarily a series of crimes. The theoretical foundations of geographical profiling are examined, they include the theory of routine activities, rational choice, crime patters, circle, and also attenuation with an increase of distance. Normative and criminalistic approaches to geoinformation systems are analyzed. The author presents a description of key software complexes that have geographical profiling as their dominant or one of their dominant features, including Rigel, Dragnet, Crimestat, Predator and Gemini. Main drawbacks of these programs are examined: an orientation at a large number of similar crimes, supposed stable composition of a criminal group, a small number of different groups of criminals and a small area of the territory under analysis, region-based linking to databases. It is also possible to use non-core geoinformation services for modelling a criminal’s movements, for instance, for determining the direction of pursuit while the trail is still hot or for verifying evidence. This information includes a criminal’s access to private or public transport, characteristics of outdoor surveillance systems, the volume and weight of a criminal’s assets, including stolen assets, dirt on their face or clothes, their emotional condition. The author concludes that it is necessary to simultaneously develop state-owned geoinformation systems reflecting data on crime in general as well as specific crimes, and similar private special-purpose projects.

This article describes the application of the concept of geographic profiling in hunting a serial child rapist in Kasur, Pakistan. It also discusses, how DNA became the prime witness against the serial rapist in the court of law. In January 2018, the blind rape and murder case of Zainab Amin hit the headlines. Following autopsy and the subsequent forensic examination, the only piece of evidence, the agencies had, was the DNA profile of the perpetrator and the information that the source of DNA profile is a serial child rapist, involved in at least seven more cases. The analysis of all crime sites and the distance between them strongly suggested that the offender most likely was a local resident. Mass DNA screening in the target region was conducted by CSI teams of Punjab forensic science agency. The DNA matched with suspect number 814 who later confessed all his crimes. In Polygraph examination, the offender revealed his modus operandi which was in line with the hypotheses made during the geographic profiling of the crime scenes. Thus, geographic profiling proved to be a very useful investigative tool in predicting the probable location of the criminal involved in a series of crimes.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of the origins of the method of profiling the identity of an unknown criminal. The development of the application of the possibilities of profiling the personality of a criminal and the practice of its application in the activities of law enforcement agencies in the investigation of crimes are investigated. Based on the concept of profiling, as from English. Profile is an integrated crime prevention technique by highlighting the characteristics of persons who committed a crime or are preparing to make it on the basis of psychological, criminological, criminalistic and sociological knowledge; a set of methods and techniques for assessing and predicting human behavior based on the analysis of the most informative signs, forensic portrait of a person, characteristics of appearance, non-verbal and verbal behavior, location, etc. We noted that there is a lot of research by foreign and Ukrainian scientists on the problems of using profiling technology, but not enough attention has been paid to the history of the practice of applying the profiling method. The main names of scientists and the features of their teachings were listed in the abstract, as the stages of development of the introduction of the profiling method in the practice of disclosing and investigating crimes by law enforcement agencies. We said that now the technology of the profiling method is not used as a mandatory measure in the investigation and disclosure of crimes. There are fundamentals of such activities, but it is too early to talk about the widespread use of profiling. At the same time, it can be noted that profiling was successfully used in the disclosure of some resonant crimes related to serial killings. We agreed with individual authors that research on forensic profiling and the behavioral aspects of crimes in Ukraine are in the early stages of development. We noted that since profiling is a young science, it is constantly evolving, and its fields of application are expanding. Today, profiling techniques are used in the field of preventive medicine to correct and prevent the emergence of diseases of psychosomatic etiology. There is also the so-called family profiling, with the help of which specialists try to help family members in solving their family problems. In addition to forensic, criminal and criminological, there is aviation, anti-terrorist, research, psychological, information security profiling, typological. Also, transport, hotel business profiling, personnel, banking and the like. We concluded that profiling technology is a universal comprehensive and modern tool that is advisable to use in law enforcement agencies in investigative, operational, personnel and administrative activities, etc. The history of its development is only gaining momentum. However, today, in law enforcement agencies, not only the profiling technique is not widely used. They do not use this term at all.

DNA technology for profiling purposes has been used in many basic and applied science. One of the emerged applied science in genetics is it’s uses in solving crime cases. Homicide became one of highest crime cases in Indonesia. Solving its cases through DNA profiling technology using items of evidence as tool is needed. Here, we report the profiling of human DNA from several items of evidence available in the crime scene and the suspect. We used items of evidence from study cases no. 18098 and 18101, based on the legal permission of Indonesia’s National Police. We used 21 international standards of human STR markers, one sex-determining marker, one Y STR marker, and one independent Y marker to developed human alleles from tissue and blood stains left and/or shred on the victims, soap bottles, knifes, victim’s clothes and ropes as well as the buccal swab of the crime suspect. Our alleles identification matched between the victim and the crime suspect in both cases with the accuracy of DNA profiles compatibility at 99.99%. Detection of DNA profiling is depending on the evidence and time of storage which are influence by environment that can lead to the process of decayed and/or contaminated.

Full textAbstract:
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Geographic profiling was originally developed as a statistical tool for use in criminal cases, particularly those involving serial killers and rapists. It is designed to help police forces prioritize lists of suspects by using the location of crime scenes to identify the areas in which the criminal is most likely to live. Two important concepts are the buffer zone (criminals are less likely to commit crimes in the immediate vicinity of their home) and distance decay (criminals commit fewer crimes as the distance from their home increases). In this study, we show how the techniques of geographic profiling may be applied to animal data, using as an example foraging patterns in two sympatric colonies of pipistrelle bats, Pipistrellus pipistrellus and P. pygmaeus, in the northeast of Scotland. We show that if model variables are fitted to known roost locations, these variables may be used as numerical descriptors of foraging patterns. We go on to show that these variables can be used to differentiate patterns of foraging in these two species.

Full textAbstract:
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) policing tools and geo-profiling into contemporary law enforcement strategies has revolutionized analysis of concerning behavior, offering unprecedented precision in the identification of psychological risk factors and predictive crime analysis. AI's sophisticated pattern recognition capabilities, powered by machine learning algorithms, enable the dissection of vast datasets to uncover complex behavioral trends, latent correlations, and risk indicators often imperceptible to human cognition. This analytical depth enhances law enforcement's ability to identify links between disparate criminal activities, forecast potential threats, and shift from reactive to proactive crime prevention. Complementing AI's prowess, geo-profiling employs spatial analysis rooted in criminology, psychology, and geographic information systems (GIS) to elucidate crime patterns, identify hotspots, and predict offender anchor points. The synergy between these technologies augments investigative efficiency and mitigates cognitive biases inherent in traditional profiling through data-driven objectivity. Moreover, the implications of AI and geo-profiling extend beyond criminal justice, significantly impacting public health and safety. By enhancing crime detection and enabling early intervention, these technologies contribute to reducing violence-related injuries, mitigating psychological trauma, and fostering resilient communities. Police organizations can leverage AI-driven insights to deploy targeted interventions addressing the root causes of violence, such as socio-economic disparities and mental health challenges. This conceptual study explores the transformative potential of AI and geo-profiling in crime prevention, emphasizing their role in advancing public safety, promoting health equity, and informing data-driven policies. Ultimately, these innovations represent a paradigm shift in law enforcement and public health, fostering integrated approaches to address the multifaceted challenges of modern crime and its societal impacts.

Full textAbstract:
Criminal investigators, scientists, mental health experts, and the media have always studied serial killings. Since Jack the Ripper in the late 1800s, and even today, attempts have been made to understand the complex issues surrounding the investigation of serial murders and the motives for these horrific acts. The topics of serial killings are attracting too much attention from the media, academia, and the general public. Nordic crime series make a special contribution to identifying and analyzing many issues related to serial killings including common myths, definitions, typologies, pathology and causality, media role, prosecution issues, organization of investigations, and especially through the affirmation of forensic psychology and criminal profiling. We believe that scientific papers dealing with this topic can be useful in generating an effective response in identifying, investigating, and reaching verdicts, and strengthening the collective ability to understand, respond and act preventively to prevent these violent and serious crimes.

Full textAbstract:
The disparity between the ongoing use of criminal profiling and the lack of empirical evidence for its validity is referred to as criminal profiling illusion. Associated risks for society range from misled police investigations, hindered apprehensions of the actual offender(s), and wrongful convictions to mistrust in the police. Research on potential explanations is in its infancy but assumes that people receive and adopt incorrect messages favoring the accuracy and utility of criminal profiling. One suggested mechanism through which individuals may acquire such incorrect messages is the consumption of fictional crime-related media which typically present criminal profiling as highly accurate, operationally useful, and leading to the apprehension of the offender(s). By having some relation to reality but presenting a distorted picture of criminal profiling, fictional crime-related media may blur the line between fiction and reality thereby increasing the risk for the audience to mistake fiction for fact. Adopting a cultivation approach adequate to examine media effects on one’s perception, the present study is the first to investigate whether the perception of criminal profiling may be influenced by the consumption of fictional crime-related media based on a correlation study. Although the results provide support for the assumption that misperceptions of criminal profiling are widely spread in the general population and associated with the consumption of fictional crime-related media, the found cultivation effects are small and must be interpreted cautiously. Considering that even small effects may have the potential to influence real-life decision-making, they may still be relevant and affect society at large.

The aim of this study was to set forth an impartial presentation of the academic situation that prevails in the field of criminology on the subject of criminal profiling. Through an analysis discussion, and interpretation of the main objective of this study research inquiry which is ‘Criminal profiling and its use in crime solving’, this study will explore on the arguments pertaining to the claim of whether or not, criminal profiling can be of assistance in crime solving. Since there is dearth of exploration of this subject in the Maltese context, some recommendations will be suggested. Desk-based approach was used as for this research study. The utilised literature is the work of different authoritative authors involved in the study of criminal profiling and the result of their extensive research and experience in the same field of study. By carrying out a critical analysis, the study discusses and presents the existing disparity that prevails on the argument regards the validity, utility, and effectiveness of using criminal profiling techniques in crime investigations. Moreover, the research opines on the fact that criminal profiling is a valuable investigative tool, that needs to be utilised in conjunction with other valid scientific investigative methods so as to increase the reliability and success rate of crime solving and offender apprehension. For this reason, it is recommended that more studies are required on this topic from a Maltese perspective.

Based on the discussion of environmental criminology, this study aims to identify the distance criminals journey to commit crimes. Verifying how much a criminal moves to commit a crime has the advantage of predicting the distance and helping the police investigation. According to the results of the study, sex crimes showed the highest density within 2km of the criminal's residence, and after that, they gradually decreased. As a result of OLS regression analysis, it was confirmed that the distance of movement of a crime varies not only according to the characteristics of the criminal but also according to modus operandi such as the relationship between the criminal and the victim, whether the body is inserted, and whether coercive means are used. In addition, as a result of the potential class analysis of criminal methods, there was a difference in the distance of movement of sex crimes according to the potential (group) type of sex crimes. Finally, by synthesizing the results, the development direction of geographic profiling required for evidence-based policing and limitations were discussed due to the problem of analysis data.

The study is devoted to updating the use of profiling in the fight against crime in Ukraine. The concepts, content and main directions of application of profiling and its significance for combating crime by law enforcement agencies during operational and investigative activities are revealed. In recent years, there has been a steady interest in Ukraine in the psychological aspects of criminal offense and direct criminal behavior. On the one hand, this is due to the ever-widening range of research in this area, and on the other - the practical needs of law enforcement agencies. Unfortunately, the operational and investigative activities do not pay due attention to the psychological aspects of diagnosis and evaluation of the offender, resulting in problems with its detection and thus prevention of criminal activity at various stages of the crime, although in the civilized world profiling is considered one of the effective methods of fighting against crime. Work on updating the use of profiling among law enforcement agencies in Ukraine should be accompanied by domestic scientific and practical developments in this area. The lack of experience in the use of profiling in the activities of operational units is explained by the underestimation of its capabilities, which requires a deep scientific and practical rethinking and rapid both legislative and departmental response. Successfully tested foreign experience in the application of profiling should be updated in Ukraine among law enforcement agencies, which will ultimately help increase the effectiveness of crime prevention. In order to form primary knowledge and skills on psychological identification of illegal activities and persons involved in higher education institutions with specific learning conditions, it is necessary to resume the study of the discipline «Psychology of operational and investigative activities».

Abstract: Advances in computer technology, the development of GIS application software, and the ability to access various geographic data through open-source data sources have allowed police and law enforcement agencies to use it effectively. Crime mapping and spatial analysis using GIS tools such as hotspot generation, zoning, crime navigation and profiling, mobile location recognition, and various web applications are clearly recognized and can be scientifically applied to improve citizenship while being effectively used to predict and control crime. The present study analyzed the trends and patterns of crime data (murder, rape, robbery, theft, kidnapping, engraving, and gambling) in Ajmer Zone from 2015–2022 (till October) to understand the trends of crime data (IPC crime registered). I also used the demographic data of Ajmer to understand crime trends towards various crime types The study focused on the most common crimes reported, which were theft and gambling, as opposed to murder, rape, kidnapping, and robbery. All crimes were reported in 1,009 incidents in 2015. In 2016, 1,064 cases were recorded. In 2017, 1081 cases were reported. In 2018, 1034 cases were reported. In 2019, 1415 cases were reported. In 2020, 829 cases were reported. In 2011, 1120 cases were reported. In 2022, 1268 cases were reported. The highest number of cases occurred in 2017, 2019, and 2022, and the lowest number of cases occurred in 2015 and 2016. According to the crime study for 2015–2022 (till October), I found that many areas where crime is increasing or that are crime hotspots are found every year.

ABSTRACT Criminal profiling in conventional crimes and cybercrimes makes an important contribution to law enforcement officials in finding patterns of criminal behavior, characteristics, and underlying motives for crime. This literature provides a brief overview of the history of the use of criminal profiling as a crime investigation tool and the development of investigative techniques used by investigators. The purpose of this literature study is to describe more broadly the typology used by profilers in categorizing conventional criminals and cybercriminals. The researcher uses the systematic literature review method in analyzing the data. Based on the systematic literature review, it is found that there are differences in the typology of conventional crimes and cyber crimes. This is due to differences in the media or tools used, modus operandi, motivation, and place of occurrence. The implications of the results of this study produce a new understanding of the differences in criminal typology whose function isto assist law enforcement officialsin uncovering criminal acts and preventive measures.

This scientific article is devoted to the study of the problem of air transport security and the investigation of crimes related to its violation. Crimes related to air transport security can have serious consequences and threaten people’s lives. The authors of the article note that effective investigation and identification of criminals are crucial in such situations.
 One of the innovative approaches explored in the article is criminal profiling. This method of crime research is based on the analysis of behavioral, psychological and other characteristics of criminals. The use of criminal profiling can be extremely valuable in the investigation of criminal offenses aimed at violating air transport security.
 The article examines the structure of criminal profiling, which consists of three levels of analysis: operational, tactical and strategic.
 The importance of ensuring the safety of air transport and the need for effective investigation of crimes related to it are emphasized. The use of criminal profiling, in particular through operational, tactical and strategic analysis, can be a valuable tool for the detection and prevention of criminal offenses that threaten the safety of air transport.

GIS technology is credited with substantially improving police crime analysis and related resource allocation. Although GIS has been said to be an efficient and effective technology in policing, limited empirical assessment has been conducted. An examination of functions and a review of the literature suggests four major applications of GIS in policing: computerized crime mapping/crime analysis; “hot spots” identification; improving command-level decision making; and geographical investigative analysis (primarily offender profiling). The primary objective of this qualitative review is to identify the extent of empirical evaluations of the effectiveness of a GIS. Although there is some research reference offender profiling, results are mixed. Only two empirical evaluations have been published that examine crime mapping, and both are limited to effects on perceptions. No empirical work links GIS to police deployment effectiveness.

Full textAbstract:
Economists and other interested academics have committed significant time and effort to developing a set of circumstances under which an intelligent and circumspect form of racial profiling can serve as an effective tool in crime finding–the specific objective of finding criminal activity afoot. In turn, anti-profiling advocates tend to focus on the immediate efficacy of the practice, the morality of the practice, and/or the legality of the practice. However, the tenor of this opposition invites racial profiling proponents to develop more surgical profiling techniques to employ in crime finding. In the article, I review the literature on group distinction to discern its relevance to the practice and study of racial profiling. I argue that the costs of racial profiling extend beyond inefficient policing and the humiliation of law-abiding minority pedestrians and drivers. Racial profiling is simultaneously a process of perception and articulation of relative human characteristics (both positive and negative); it binds and reifies the concepts of race and criminality, fixing them into the subconscious of the profiled, the profiler, and society at large.

White-collar crime is a notable phenomenon attending economic activity. But although both prominent individual cases and more systematic statistics on claims indicate a considerable and pressing problem, rather little is known about particular types of offenses, patterns of response, situational contexts, or offender profiles. Nor is much known about which instruments effectively prevent and fight white-collar crime. Utilizing an extensive dataset of 329 organizations and over 400 case descriptions from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, this analysis offers a first detailed inquiry into the relevance and characteristics as well as prevention and redress of five basic kinds of white-collar crime: corruption, fraud, theft, anti-competition, and money laundering. In addition to an explication of overarching commonalities and specific differences, we strive to show that these five types can furthermore be reorganized into two differing classes that are each internally rather homogenous. This finding is of great relevance and importance to effective strategies for preventing and countering white-collar crime

Citizens of two groups may engage in crime, depending on their legal earning opportunities and on the probability of being audited. Police audit citizens. Police behavior is fair if both groups are policed with the same intensity. We provide exact conditions under which forcing the police to behave more fairly reduces the total amount of crime. These conditions are expressed as constraints on the quantile-quantile plot of the distributions of legal earning opportunities in the two groups. We also investigate the definition of fairness when the cost of being searched reflects the stigma of being singled out by police.

Full textAbstract:
Profiling, as a modern technology, is widely employed in operational-investigative activities of law enforcement agencies for the detection and investigation of criminal offenses. This system, comprising social and psychological techniques, facilitates the diagnosis of personal characteristics, peculiarities of hidden motives, and the assessment of information. Moreover, it enables the prediction of scenarios, behavioral patterns, and communication styles in various situations. Criminal profiling holds particular significance in crafting a psychological portrait of a suspect involved in a series of crimes.
 However, the use of profiling in law enforcement presents certain challenges. Although a psychological profile and its utilization cannot serve as direct evidence in legal proceedings, they are successfully used in search, detective, and investigative activities to identify criminals and prevent crime. When employing the profiling technique to interact with individuals crossing state borders, operatives have the opportunity to identify criminal intentions or instances of criminal activity. Additionally, profiling can be applied to prevent illegal actions and ensure public safety at transportation infrastructure facilities and during cultural events.

Crime risk prediction and predictive policing can lead to safer communities, by focusing on crime hotspots. Yet predictive tools should be reliable, and their outputs should be valid, especially across diverse cultures. Machine learning methods in policing systems are topical as they seem to be causing unintended consequences that exacerbate social injustice. Research into machine learning algorithm bias is prevalent, but bias, as it relates to predictive policing, is limited. In this paper, we summarise the findings of nascent scholarship on the topic of bias in predictive policing. The unique contribution of this paper is in the use of a typical police prediction modelling process to unpack how and why such bias can creep into algorithms that have high predictive accuracy. Our research finds that especially when resources are limited, trust in machine learning outputs is elevated; systemic bias of preceding assumptions may replicate. Recommendations include a call for human oversight in machine learning methods with sensitive applications such as automated crime prediction methods. Routine reviews of prediction outputs can ensure unwarranted community targeting is not magnified.

Crimes have been disturbing threats to all the Sri Lankans all over the country. Finding the main variables associated with crimes are very vital for policymakers. Our main goal in this study is to forecast of homicides, rapes and counterfeiting currency from 2013 to 2020 using auto-regressive conditional Poisson (ACP) and auto-regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models. All the predictions are made assuming that the prevailing conditions in the country affecting crime rates remain unchanged during the period. Moreover, multiple linear regression and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression analysis were used to identify the key variables associated with crimes. Profiling of districts as safe or unsafe was performed based on the overall total crime rate of Sri Lanka which is to compare with individual district’s crime rates. Data were collected from the Department of Police and Department of Census and Statistics, Sri Lanka. It is observed that there are 14 safe and 11 unsafe districts in Sri Lanka. Moreover, it is found that the total migrant population and percentage of urban population is positively correlated with total crime. Besides, total migrant population, unemployment rate, mean household income and percentage of the urban population are significant variables for total crimes, and total migrant population, Gini index, mean household income and percentage of the urban population are significant variables for homicides. Random K-nearest neighbour (RKNN) algorithm classified districts as safe and unsafe with 84% of prediction accuracy.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the method of profiling the identity of an unknown criminal. The possibilities of profiling the identity of the offender (including the world wide web) and the practice of its application in the activities of law enforcement agencies in the investigation of crimes are investigated. Profiling (English Profile-profile) - profile, outline, outline, draw in profile - an integrated crime prevention technique by highlighting the characteristics of persons who have committed a crime or are preparing to commit it on the basis of psychological, criminological, criminalistic and sociological knowledge; a set of methods and techniques for assessing and predicting human behavior based on the analysis of the most informative signs, forensic portrait of a person, characteristics of appearance, non-verbal and verbal behavior, location and the like. Specialists who collect, process data, analyze and obtain an image are called profilers. Today, in law enforcement agencies, not only the profiling technique is not widely used. They do not use this term at all. It is noted that the effectiveness of the profiler depends primarily on its communicative abilities, the ability to verbal and non-verbal means to read the information that the interlocutor provides. Verbal means include language and speech, and non-verbal means the appearance of the interlocutor, facial expressions, timbre, tone, voice intonation, gestures, poses. Both groups of means are used in communication, and non-verbal ones are less dependent on the conscious control of a person. Thus, profiling is used not only to search for unknown criminals, but also to prevent illegal actions. The use of profiling as a component of law enforcement has positive and negative aspects. In Ukraine, profiling is only just beginning to be introduced into the activities of law enforcement agencies, so the further development of this problem taking into account foreign experience is relevant. The content of the use of profiling, the types and main areas of profiling are highlighted. A specific example of a model of a forensic portrait of a person is given. The article contains a number of recommendations for achieving practical results.

Crime is classically “unpredictable”. It is not necessarily random, but neither does it take place consistently in space or time. A better theoretical understanding is needed to facilitate practical crime prevention solutions. The crime rate and the activities of criminals have expanded in last few decades due to better communication system and transport.In India, the regional location has a powerful impact on criminal activity. The Crime Info report of National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), India collects, analyse and publish the crime data. The crime profiling and zoning can be modelled with utilization of data mining.In this paper, we make cluster analysis on the basis of regions like north, south, east, west and central by using k-means cluster algorithm on criminal dataset of India. The cluster input is used to create result analysis graph for each regions along with categories of crime did by male, female and juvenile. Also we are providing comparative analysis of crime rates in different zones of India using KNN and Hybrid classifier algorithm.
