When you look at television shows and read books, you might often encounter the term modus operandi (MO). This means a method of operating, functioning, or working. When crimes are committed, a perpetrator has an MO. In a 3–5-page paper, discuss in detail the following:

• What is the difference between an MO and a signature?
• 
  
• Describe the background of each. For example, what are the driving forces or reasons behind a criminal's MO and signature?
• 
  
• Give an example of both an MO and signature. You may use an actual case, or you may explain the difference with a fictional example.
• 
  
• Avoid using fictional depictions in movies, books, and television as bases for your research on this topic.
• Cite any sources using APA style.
